Washington, D. c., April 5.-At
least one great power already has de-
clined to join the United States in
recognizing the new Chinese republic
at this stage, and there is reason to
expect some of the other powers to
take a similar attitude. No protest
has been lodged against the course
to be taken by the United States, but
there exists at some foreign capitals
such doubt of the success of the at.
tempt of the constituent assembly to

TERMS ARE PRESENTED TO The

They WILL ACCEPT and WHICH

BLOCKADE IS BEGUN
!, .A.eAINSJ montenegro

Sofia, April 5.--The prospects for
peace in the Balkans looked very
bright today. Although the allies, in
their reply to the mediation sugges-
tions of the powers, demanded num-
erous and radical changes, the pow
ers promptly replied with concessions
designed to bring about prompt ces.
sation of hostilities.
In note presented to the Bulgarian
government today the powers propos.
ed that the Thracian frontier could be
formed by line drawn from Midia,
on the Black sea to Enos on the
Aegean sea. This would give Bull
garia both banks of the river Martha,
in accordance with her demands.
1t is also suggested that all financial
questions, such as indemnity should
be left to the decision of technical
commission to meet in Paris. The
Balkan allies today submitted to the
powers their formal reply to the sug-
gested basis for peace negotiations
with Turkey 49,
The reply purports to be an accept
ance of the mediation conditions, but
the acceptance is subject to reserva-
tions which practically repudiate the
proposed terms. The proposition of
the powers were as follows:
/. The frontier of Turkey shall
start at Enos and end at Midia. All
territories west Of this line shall go
to the allied states, with the excep-
tion of Albania, the delimination of
which shall be fixed by the powers.
2. The question of the Aegean isl
ands shall be settled by the powers.
3. Turkey shall abandon all claims
to Crete.
4. The powers cannot favorably en-.
tertain the demand for indemnity.
5. AS soon as these bases are ac.
cepted, hostilities shall cease.
The reply of the Balkan allies con-
tains the following counter PROPOSE.
tiolfS:
l. Indefinite determination of the
frontier of the province of Thrace.
The line indicated in the conditions
formulated by the powers shall be
taken as basis and not as a defini
tive line.
2. The islands in the Aegean sea
shall go to the Balkan states.
3. The allies consider they should
know beforehand the frontiers pro-
posed for the future state of Albania
trusting they will be in conformity
with those they proposed in London.
4. The allies demand for a war in
demnity must be accepted in princi-
pie, the task Of fixing the amount be.
ing left to commission which is to
study the financial questions and on
which Balkan allies will be represent
ed.
S. The allies agree that the opera.
tions of war shall cease as soon az
the above conditions have been fav.
orably received.

The stormy clashes between coun'

room resound last night were in strik-
ing contrast to the cool, dispassionate
testimony given this morning by Gum

der of Henry Ribera at Glorieta, Janu'

It was an interesting audience
which listened attentively to every
word the accused uttered in an effort
to picture to the jury why it may be
necessary to kill ones fellowman.

FIRST FINDINGS
MADE BY MR..
COLLINS
BONDS ISSUED ON SANTA Re CENT
RAJ RAILWAY HAVE NOTHING TO
Do WITH LATER MERGER WITH
ALBUQUERQUE EASTERN.

The first report OF Lorin c. Col
Inns special master and referee under
reference order dated July 20, 1912
in the first judicial district court in
connection with the New Mexico
Central railroad company and the
various complications in connection
herewith, was filed this morning.
The most important part of the re-
port is that the referee finds that the
bond issue of the old Santa Fe Cen
trail amounting to some two million
dollars is not affected by the later
merger with the Albuquerque Eastern
railroad company having been con
summated some time prior thereto
The conclusions of law found by Mr.
Collins are as follows
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW.

Fe Central Railway company, one of
the constituents of the New Mexico
Central Railroad company, dated De-
cember 2, 1901, was duly authorized

pany to the Pittsburg Trust company
aforesaid, as trustee, and was duly
delivered to said trustee by said San
ia Fe Central Railway company and
was duly recorded in the proper Off
ces for the recording of said instru-
ments in all the counties OF New
Mexico in which the property de-
scribed in said mortgage was and is
situated, in the months of July and
August. 1902.
2. That shortly after the execution
and recording of said mortgage: and
long prior to the merger and consoli-
dation of said Santa Fe Central Rail-
way company with the Albuquerque
Eastern Railway company, thereby
creating the defendant, the New
