THE FORGED DESPATCHES
• * [PtR Pebss Association] . Si^ Petersburg, January 2. The despatches on Bulgarian affairs, alleged to be fictitious, have been published by consent of the Czar. Three despatches, purported to be addressed by Prince Ferdinand to the Countess of Flanders, imploring her to use her influence with the Czar, and enclosing a fictitious letter from the Prince of Reuss and Greiz, promising his support, and stating that Germany was favorable to his (Prince Ferdinand's) election to the Bulgarian throne, but for politic reasons she was obliged to 'dissemble. A despatch also showed that Count Kalnoky, the Austrian Minister for Foreign Affairs, and Signor Crispi, the Italian Premier, were favorable to Bulgaria j and another despatch from the Prince of Reuss again reassured Prince Ferdinand of Germany's support. Tha Czar, m permitting the publication, stipulated that the authors should not be revealed. Berlin, January 2.
