PEACE IN THE EAST
Russia and Austria Plan to
Save Macedonia.
ON LINES ADOPTED FOR CRETE.

Christian Governor to BE Appointed
and Religious Tolerance TO Rule.
Powers Anxious, as War Clouds
Menace Peace of Europe.
LONDON, Dec. Negotiations that
have been opened by the powers may
result in an international admlnlstra-
ton for Macedonia along the lines Oh
served in the present government of
the island of Crete.
1t has been learned that in order to
prevent another Macedonian uprising
in the spring, attended by unspeakable
horrors, and the danger of war be-
tween Turkey and Bulgaria as a con-
sequence Russia and Austria have pro-
posed TO the powers that immediate
steps be taken TO put into operation
plan which in its general outline resem-
hles that now enforced In Crete. This
proposal is the result of the acceptance
in principle by the sultan three days
ago of the RussO-Austrian note CON
corning reforms In Macedonia which
was submitted to the porte after the
recent conference between Car Nicho-
las and Emperor Francis Joseph. To
what extent each power will partici-
pate in the organization of an interna-
tional gendarmerie to be formed for the
preservation of order and which power
will be placed in supreme command OF
the gendarmerie. as well as other de-
tails, must be settled by the negOtia-
tons between the powers.
This proposal OF the two powers dissi-
pates the apprehension which has pre-
vailed In diplomatic circles on the con-
tinent that Russia and Austria we're
arranging a settlement of the Macedo-
MAN question in a way to insure their
own interests.
The powers will this time unite in the
appointment OF a Christian governor Of
Macedonia. While Il is intended that
the Christians shall be protected, there
Is also u determination that equal pro-
lection shall be accorded the Mussul-
mans.
All the powers concerned are anxious
TO settle the difficulties in the Balkans
% that they can no longer menace the
peace of Europe.
II u believed that results Identical
with those obtained in Crete are likely
to follow from the enforcement OF a
similar policy in Macedonia. At first
q large force was sent to Crete, but at
present there are not more than 1900
men there. representing the govern
ments Of Great Britain, France, Rus
STA and Italy.
How the Russo-Austrian proposal
will be received by the powers Is not
known. as its presentation has only
just occurred. 1t Is believed, how.
ever, that It will be acceptable to
France, Italy and Great Britain but
that IT is likely to be opposed by Ger
many.
Though this proposed action will he
another step toward the separation of
and Turkey, there is moth
ing in the proposal to indicate that the
powers have any intention Of weaken
Ing Turkish ownership of the territory. |
As the sultan accepted the principle Of (
the Russo-Austrian note, II follows as
a natural consequence that he will not f.
be likely to oppose the enforcement /
Of the reforms which that note con-
templated
