By Gabla —Press Association —Copyright Heater's Telegrams. (Received May 13. 7.30 p.m.) LONDON, May 13. The special Sofia correspondent of the “Daily Express” states that he had an interview with King Boris anu his Ministers, in which they appealed for the assistance of the Foreign Powers, especially Britain, to overcome the difficulties still confronting Bulgaria.
