1903.11.18_The New York Times – Macedonians not quelled

Новинската вест зборува за Борис Сарафов кој навестува дека доколку не се подобрат условите во Македонија напролет повторно ќе биде подигнато востание. Оние краеви кои се уништени после востанието не би можеле, но во другите делови силите се зачувани. Оружјето и муницијата се чува на сигурно во планините и извесна помала група на единици чека да го обнови востанието ако е потребно.

„… MACEDONIANS NOT QUELLED

Boris Sarafoff Says They Will Rist .

Again If Conditions Are Not’

improved.

Special Cablegram.

LQNDON, Nov. 18.—The correspondent

of The Times at Sofia telegraphs an in-

terview which he has had with Boris

Sarafoff, The young man, who is under

thirty years of age, bears traces of the

hardships which he has undergone dur-

ing the past nine months, but his health \

does not appear to have been impaired. . ’

He has fought twenty battles with the

Turks, has lost several trusted lieuten-. ,.,

ants, and has had several narrow es-

capes. Frequently he was compelled to

fight his way with his band through

cordon of the enemy. He says that the, ,.

hostilities which have been suspended §

will not be resumed in the Spring if the

powers produce an improvement of con-

ditions in Macedonia. _ .

AL the same time, he is not sanguine

about the Austro-Russian scheme.: He ‘-

says that a number of small bands re-

main in the mountains of Macedonia

prepared to renew the insurrection if

necessary. While this will not be possi-

ble in the districts which were devas-

tated this year, many other districts, es-

pecially in Central Macedonia, are com- .

paratively intact and would be ready to

rise next Spring.

All the rifles and ammunition required

are deposited in safe hiding places in the % J

mountains.
