M. Stambulisky, the head of the overthrown Agrarian Government in
Bulgaria, was killed on Thursday, June 14th, in a fight with the troops of the new Government. He was at his native village, Slavovitza, when he learned' of the seriousness of the revolution—which he had at first believed was confined to isolated places. He then decided, as the special correspondent of the Times tells us, to take to the mountains in the hope of crossing the frontier. He started off accompanied by a large crowd of peasants, but these gradually left him, and at last only- his brother and two peasants remained. Hoping, appa- rently, to rally his lukewarm supporters, he entered the village of Golak, which is quite near Slavovitza. Although he was disguised as a wood merchant he was recognized by the Mayor, who arrested him; When seized, M. Stambulisky broke down, saying, " You betray me in the way Judas betrayed our Lord " ; and when the peasants offered him food he refused, saying, " You give me poison." * * * *
