The Bulgarian Bands in Macedonia

THE BULGARIAN BANDS IN MACEDONIA, August 4, 1903.

- "The more correct the attitude of Turkey is in this respect the more sharply will the excesses of the Bulgarians be condemned."

- "A despatch from Hassan Hilmi Pasha reports that a Bulgarian band, about 150 strong, attacked and set fire to the Turkish villages of Dollindje and Ramna, in the Caza of Monastir."

- "The revolutionists also set fire to all the granaries belonging to Turks and Greeks, and forced the Bulgarian population of the villages they traversed to join them on pain of death."

Conclusion:

- In first text (BERLIN, Aug. 4) are referred words as "Macedonian Committee", "Macedonian cause" and "Macedonians bands". These words have a geographical significance, not ethnic. (For more info read whole text).

- Third underlined quote show to us IMRO's terror over the Greek population (from the villages near Monastiri).
