government has taken a series of

if inaugurating the era of promised rtcrra
and of assuring peace and traninility
to the Bulgarian population of

this population and reviving

tught every possible pretext to perecute,
terrorize ani ruin the Bulgaran
inhabitants, alike in the largo

exarch of all his privileges and
orce the people to come under the
LUthority of the Greek patriarch.
Incouraged by the Ottoman auhorities,
the Greek bishops and archmandrites
forced their way into the
iulgarian churches and burned the
rayer-books and menaced the peoile.

eclared in a recent sermon that the
