WAR CLOUDS IN EUROPE
ARE RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING
Settlement of the Turko-BuIgarIan
Difficulties Involves Recognition
of Bulgaria.

st. Petersburg. The Turko Bulgar-
money to be paid Turkey by Bulgaria
because of the Bulgarian declaration
of independence is practically broken
end the war cloud in southeastern
Europe has been dissipated by the ac-
ceptance of plan proposed by Rus
STA, which reconciles in a novel man
ner the Turkish claim of s24,000,000
and the Bulgarian o-fer OF SIG, 900.
This plan is based on the indemnity
CT S1,C00,000 yer, which. in accord
ance with the Berlin treaty OF 1888,
Turkey is to pay Russia for 100 years.
These payments bear no interest. The
Russian proposal is to remit them I'M
Ill the Turkish claim against Bulgaria
is satisfied. Russia will collect in
stead SIG, 400 900 from Bulgaria in sim
liar 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.
The settlement of the Turko- Bulgar-
ian difficulties it is said In well in
formed circles, involves the recogni-
ton of Bulgaria, whose proclamation
of independence precipitated the
crisis.
