VIENNA, Jan. 11.— According to a dispatch from Sarajevo, Bosnia, to the Neue Freie Presse 4000 Albanians have crossed the road between Prizren, eighty-eight miles from Monastir, Macedonia, and Scutari, capital of the vilayet, of the same name, their Intention being to oppose the new gendarmerie organized under the Austro-Russian reform scheme. The situation in the Near East is causing increasing uneasiness. In addition to the Albanian movements in opposition to the new international gendarmerie in Macedonia, a dispatch from Cetinje says that the Government of Montenegro has decided to take steps for the immediate expulsion of all Albanians.

ROME. Jan. 11.— Boris Sarafoff. the Macedonian revolutionary leader, whose arrival in Rome the press here erroneously announced on the 3d inst., reached here last night. One of the chief objects of Sarafoff coming to Italy is to induce General Riccioti Garibaldi to lead an expedition having for its object the liberation of Macedonia from Turkish rule, similar to the expedition which Garibaldi headed at the time of the Graeco-Turkish war. Sarafoff had Interviews to-day with the leaders and supporters of the Macedonian cause here. He said he wished to inform the Italian Government that Macedonia was not satisfied with the Austro-Russian action and that a new revolution would break out next spring: if all the powers who signed the treaty of Berlin did not Intervene and cause the granting of autonomy to Macedonia.

In an interview to-day Sarafoff declared the s revolutionists were ready for any step and prepared to go to any extremity. He said that one of the objects of his visit to Rome was to learn what support the Vatican authorities would and could give his followers in Macedonia. The orthodox Christians of the Greek church in Macedonia, he said, were even prepared to go to the length of leaving that church and joining the Roman communion, which, he declared, the late Pope Leo most anxiously desired." Sarafoff is being closely watched by the Italian police.

'Alexander the Slav' by Universumskristall Blog

  We found an very interesting article published by a German speaking Polish Blog, named Universumskristall ( Universe crystal ). We thought, it is worth translating and of course for You, it is much worth to read it... Alexander the Slav by Universumskristall Blog Alexander the Great is an ancient ruler who we believe we have a thorough knowledge of. Hardly anyone has exercised such a fascination on people as he and despite many reports and testimonies, one fact has not been sufficiently taken into account until today, namely that the people from which Alexander was descended actually had little to do with the Greeks. Generations of historians tried to convince people that Alexander was a Greek. It was mentioned here and there that he was a Macedonian ruler, but Western historiography has always considered him and his people to be part of a Greek culture. That is of course not true. The ancient Macedonians and Greeks share a common past, but at the time of Alexander the differences we

The Hellenic army is burning all slavophonic villages and kills all slavophones it captures! It can be seen from the letters by Greek soldiers sent from the front the horror that the Macedonian population in the towns and villages under Greek occupation faced. The bloody collection of about hundred letters should have been delivered to the addresses through the Greek Army’s military post office, but after it was captured by the Bulgarian Army in Razlog on 14 July 1913, the letters were made public. It is a fearsome collection of authentic testimonies that were taken to the State Archives in Sofia in 1913, as Ljubomir Miletic PhD claims. In those letters, the Greek soldiers bragged to their relatives and friends that they hadn’t left a single Slavophone alive wherever they went, that they had raped all the Slavic Macedonian women and that they had burned all the Slavophonic villages. One hundred years ago After the Ottoman army left Macedonia, Serbs, Bulgarians and Greeks wante

One of the steps in the Scientific Method of Investigation is the publication of your obtained results. This is done, so that others by repeating the same experiment using same methodology may independently arrive to the same conclusion and verify whether it is true what you have accomplished with your own hypothesis. Once many independent laboratories—through their scientific research—confirm your results, then, the hypothesis that you have proposed becomes accepted and your findings acknowledged.  I have said before, and I stand by my assertions that: (a) Macedonia was never a part of any ancient Greek city-state, nor were the ancient Macedonians ever considered by the ancient Greeks or by themselves, to be Greek. (b) Macedonia was never a member of any Hellenic League. Macedonia was not a member of the Greek Amphictyonic League either. Fact is that membership into these leagues was reserved for Hellenes only. And since Macedonians were not considered Hellenes, they were n
