definite ,claration OF the Cars demands
with reference to Bulgaria. No secret il
made of the exact character of the propo'
sails nor of the official opinion that they
will be summarily rejected. The Cza1
asks substantial recognition OF the
rights Of Russia to control Bull
garia and Roumania. Prince
Ferdinand and the Sobranje are to be wiped

Turkish colleague is to reorganize the Gov
ernment; and army and control the elec'
tions for a new Sobranje. Russia further
claims the right to occupy the principality
