TURKO-BUEGARIAN WAR
 CLOUDS ARE DISAPPEARING

St. Petersburg. Feb. 1.-The Turixo- Bulgarian deadlock over the amount of money to be paid Turkey by Bull garia because of the Bulgarian declar- ation Of independence. is practically broken and the war clouds in south eastern Europe have been dissipated by the acceptance of a plan proposed by Russia. which reconciles in a novel manner the Turkish claim of s24,000,- 900 and the Bulgarian offer of sls,- 400, ,OOe.
 This plan is based on the war inc dehlnity of $1.soo,00o year. which in accordance with the Berlin treaty of 1873, Turkey Is to pay Russia for 8 hundred years
 These payments bear no interest. The Russian proposal is to remit them until the Turkish claim against Bull garfa is satisfied. Russia will collect Instead S1e,400.00o from Bulgaria in similar installments. These payments will bear interest and the amount of this interest will recoup Russia.
 Bulgaria has formally assented to this proposal and the Russian govern ment has assurances that the plan is satisfactory to the Turkish govern ment.
