PLAYING A FARCE.

BULGARIANS REBUKED.

"YOU HAD BETTER CO HOME."

[By Electric Telegraph—Copyright] [United Press Association.] (Received 11.45 a.m.) London, August 5. The Evening Standard's Bucharest correspondent states that at a conference Major Escu hotly accused the Bulgarians with playing a farce. The Bulgarians retorted: "Can't we make propositions?" Major Escu replied: "Don't forget that you are defeated. You come suing for peace. If you can't do better than play a farce you had better go home." THE ARMISTICE EXTENDED. London, August 5. There is a more pessimistic feeling with regard to a settlement. The firmness of Servia makes the outcome of the Conference unpromising for Bulgaria. The Daily Telegraph publishes an unconfirmed report from Belgrade, by way of Sofia, that M. Daneff has been arrested for the improper use of Secret Service funds. Constantinople, August 5.

The Grand Vizier has warned M. Natchevitz, the Bulgarian representative, that Bulgarian atrocities on Turkish prisoners are exciting the troops, and that unless they cease it will be impossible to prevent an advance across the border. Bucharest, August 5.

The armistice has been extended for three days. The Premier intimated that no further extension was possible. DANEFF'S ARREST DENIED. , (Received 11.45 a.m.) London, August 5. The Bulgarian Legation in London denies that M. Daneff has been arrested. • •
