In the Balkans

In the Balkans.—Reports from the Balkans indicate that there are constant conflicts between the Macedonians and the Turks, tho generally of small bodies of men, in which few lives are lost. It is stated, however, that the insurgents have decided to postpone a general movement and await developments; but that it is the settled purpose of the revolutionists eventually to drag Europe into an interference in the affairs of Macedonia. The Turks seem to be controlling themselves better than formerly; but the revolutionist leaders believe that as soon as Europe has turned its eyes to another portion of the globe, the old tactics will be employed again. The Macedonian committee does not intend to be idle. So while war in the Balkans is no longer regarded as imminent, no one dreams that peace is assured.
