Bulgar Premier Shocked.

New York Times 100 years ago today, March 19, 1913:
Whole Nation Mourns with Greece, He Telegraphs.
    SOFIA. March 18.— M. Güchoff, the Bulgarian Premier, has sent this telegram to the Greek Premier:
    "I have received at this moment the terrible news of the assassination of your beloved King, the illustrious ally of our sovereign and of our people, and I hasten to tell you how greatly we share in your immense grief.
    "Lamenting the loss of one of the first artisans of our holy alliance, shocked by the sacrilegious act of an infamous assassin, my colleagues and I beg you to accept the deepest condolences of the Bulgarian Government and nation."
    A requiem for the dead will be celebrated at the cathedral to-morrow.
