The Ottoman Bank Archives
and Research Centre
In April 1903, the Bulgarian comitadjis whose aim was to arouse the attention and the intervention of European opinion, multiplied their attacks. The development of these events led to the realisation of this aim and the Ottoman powers were obliged to accept certain reforms under pressure from the Great Powers. The explosion on 15 April aboard the Guadalquivir, a French vessel anchored in the port of Salonica, is only an episode in the incidents which followed. Half an hour later, the railway station was blown up. In the evening of 29 April, the main gas pipe was destroyed and the entire city was immediately plunged into darkness.
The archive documents of 30 April on the attack against the Ottoman Bank report that the Bulgarian revolutionaries came in three cars and killed the guards, entered the premises, turned off the gas, then turned on the gas taps and threw bombs, causing an explosion which led to a fierce fire. Those responsible were arrested. A large part of the premises was burned. It was hoped that the strong-room had not been damaged but it was initially impossible to enter the debris. In fact, apart from the strong-room and Cash Department, everything was lost.
On the day following the attack, Friday 1 May, the branch reopened setting up its operations in the garden around the bank building. The branches of Adrianople, Uskup and Monastir informed that measures were taken to prevent an attack. The inspection team reported that calm continued to reign in the city and that confidence was growing daily.
The telegram of 2 May states that the main records and documents needed to reconstitute the books as at 30 April had been saved. The building was totally destroyed apart from the Cash Department and the cellar. The immediate re-commencement of business produced an excellent impression in the area. On 9 June, Salonica stated that it had been able, either by copy of correspondence or with the information which had been saved from the fire, to completely re-establish its books at 30 April. The branch submitted its general situation on that date which balanced completely.
The mail of 3 May reports the attack in more detail including that several months earlier a Bulgarian had rented a shop on a corner of a building situated virtually opposite the bank, had opened a bakery, helped probably by two or three other persons who, during the night, had dug a tunnel leading towards the bank, at the end of which they had placed a certain quantity of dynamite and they had installed an electric wire running from the bakery intended to cause the explosion. The attack against the bank was not based solely on this. The plan was to coincide this attack with the simultaneous explosion of bombs and dynamite cartridges and demonstrations which lasted until 1.00 in the morning at various points in the city in order to create a general panic. Thus, towards 8.00 on this Wednesday evening, the explosion which plunged the city into darkness was the signal for the general attack. First of all, a bomb was thrown at the bank, then the terrible explosion took place. Despite every effort, the entire building burned apart from the annexe where the Cash Department was situated.
