The correspondent of tho TaEeblatt
added that dispomatic circles In Con
stantinope were much stirred UP over
the foregoing in connection with the re-
port that NJ. Natchevitch was empower
ed TO conclude Bulgaro-Turk treaty.
Should this note prove to be true. il may
explain in a measure the hssitat.ons Of
the powers to proceed against Turkey.
The treaty OF peace at Bucharest has
changed the frontiers Of the Balkan
states as follows:
The Servo Bulgarian frontier leaves the
city Of Shoumitza and, the valley of that
name to the Bulgariant; Krstova. Kot-
chano. 1stip. Tsaravi, Salo-Patchevo.
Berevo and Radovitza to the Servans.

The Servo Bulgarian frontier leaves

south of Baltchik. where it crosses the
Doorltch-N arna railway in the direction
OF kuJudgink. and attains the Danube
eight miles west of Turtukai beyond the

The frontiers of the future being known.
1t is now possible to fix the increase in
population for each Of the
fOpul0tl0n participants i'm the confer
r;,v ence at Bucharest Tho
population of the six states
of the Balkans will approximately reach
the following figures: Roumania. $780,
600. Increased by 100000: Bulgaria. D.
O0O.OOO. increased by 1.o0O.OOO: Servia.
4.CO0.O0O. increased by 100000: Greece.
4,J0,000, increased by 1.50O.OO: Monte
negro. 100000. increased by 10000: Al

According to the above approximation
of increase Bulgaria has Jared even bet

The opinion Of the press is generally one
of satisfaction over the conclusion OF
the peace at Bucharest although there
are many journals which expect the re-
vision OF the treaty.
At Bucharest the journals generally
express their pride and satisfaction over
houmania's prominent part In establish
ing peace and constituting herself the
equilibrium of the Balkan states.
At Belgrade sfactipn is expressed at
the conclusion of peace and congratula-
tons are rendered the government for

be lasting.
At Vienna the press welcome the con-
clusion of peace as an event of excep-
tional interest. 1t renders great
Austrian praise to Roumania for her eff
n. forts which contributed great
"' ~ to the attainment of that
result.
The Reichspost and the Neues Wiener
Tageblatt favor revision of the treaty;
the Zeit opposes and declares that GER
tain diplomatic circles are well aware
that the Ballplatz Is working to nullify
the results achieved at Bucharest. The
Ballplatz would bring about the inter-
vention of Russia in Turkey. Italy in
Greece and Austria Hungary in Servia.
At Berlin the Berliner Tageblatt ex-
presses the belief that the peace will
last for several years. perhaps from the
fact that the Balkan states are financi-
ally exhausted
firms that what appeared Impossible by
reason of the attitude of the Balkans
has become, Notwithstanding. a reality:
peace is concluded and disqualification
is only a question of few days.
The Post conservative declares that
Bulgaria retires conquered Macedonia,
which she hoped to obtain. would be
divided up between Servians and
Greeks. What. 1t asks. does il mat
ter to the powers which of the allies
possesses the booty? The peace at
Bucharest does not put an end to the
Balkanic difficulties The most serious
question remains to be solved-Adri-
