GERMANY MAKES NEW
 PROPOSAL TO ITALY
Ambassador Suggests Switzerland
 Occupy Territory 10 Be Ctdsd.

Rome, April 5.-The difficult pass to which the negotiations between Italy and Austria have come has had no apparent effect on Prince Von Bue- lew, the German ambassador, who is continuing his efforts to bring about an adjustment. He is now understood to have proposed a new solution of the boundary question. It is that the territory which Austria might cede to Italy be occupied by Switzerland dur ing the remainder of the war, and turned over by that country 10 Italy when peace is concluded.
 This suggestion was advanced as a result of the representations made on behalf of Austria to the effect that if she should agree to cede to Italy suf- ficient territory to bring about a set tiement she must at the same time as trality. Therefore it was said that this territory would not be transferred to Italy until after the war.
 Rejected by Italy.
 This suggestion was rejected at once by Italy, and it was then proposed that the territory be held by Germany until the conclusion of peace. Italy dis scented from this plan also, and Prince von Buelow accordingly proposed that Switzerland assume temporary guard ;anship of the territory in question. It

BIames Macedonians.

Rome, via Paris, April 4.-D. Rizow Bulgarian minister to Rome expressed the opinion yesterday that the incident on the Serbo-Bulgarian' border was the work of Macedonian revolution ists in Serbia who are opposed to the Serbian regime in the territory gained in the Balaja wars for which the fight ing occurred. M. Rizow asserted that the Bulgarian government was in no way responsible for the affair and that it's only desire was to preserve neu- trality. '.'
 M. Ristitch, the Serbian minister, took issue with M. Rizow's statem ent. He said that, having spent thirty years in the region concerned, he knew it thoroughly and could affirm that the Macedonians in this part of Serbia had no desire to oppose the present order of things. Responsibility for the in- cident, he asserted, might be deter mined by considering to whose inter- ests it would be to provoke clear ly to Bulgaria which by occupying the left bank of the Vardar river could threaten to cut Serbian com munications with Saloniki, the only source from which the country could bring in it's supply. Already, he said, communication by telegraph and tele- phone had been cut
 Serbians Lost 125 Men.
 Paris, April 5, 5:3O a. m.-The Bul- garian irregulars who raided Strumit- sa Serbia, are estimated to have num- hered about a regiment and a half, says a despatch to the Matin from its Nish correspondent. The total Ser bian losses in the fighting are esti- mated to have numbered about a regi- ment and half, says a despatch to the Matin from its Nish correspon- dent. The total Serbian losses in the fighting are estimated at 125 killed and wounded, including five officers A Bulgarian diplomat interviewed by the newspaper Odjik, the despatch says, declared the raiders were discon- tented Bulgarian irregulars wearing cid uniforms. That that part of their equipment was of recent manufacture the diplomat explained by stating that several regimental armories near the frontier recently had been entered by burglars.

INVILOI 1V DULOHIlIH
  MADE BY SERBIA
Requests Arrest of Rebels ReSpen-
 sble for Raid Near Border.

Paris, April 5.--The Petit Journal says that Serbia has protested to Bull garia because of the invasion of Ser bian territory by a force described as Bulgarians. While couched in mod crate terms, the protest is said to re- quest the arrest and imprisonment of the persons responsible for the raid
 Further details of the incident re- ceived yesterday confirm the report that the invaders were driven away from the railroad station at Strumit- sa, the Serbian town near the Bulgar- ian border where the attack was made. The railway station master at Stru- mitsa reports that the line to Ghevg- neil is now clear of the raiders and apparently has not been damaged. Serbian frontier guards who pursued the fleeing irregulars retook the two cannon which had been captured.
 Six Bodies Found.
 Six bodies were found in the rail- way station at Strumitsa. The extent of the losses inflicted upon the att tacl1ing force is unknown, but is be- lieved to be large. Thirty bodies were found and the raiders themselves picked up and buried a number of others.
 This is said to be the fifth incident of it's kind since the beginning of the European war, and there is much speculation in Paris as to their exact significance. It is felt that the atti- tude of Bulgaria on this occasion will indicate what policy she intends to pursue.
 The Havas Agency received yester- day from Nish, Serbia, dispatch say ing that the losses of the Serbian troops were sixty killed and fifty three wounded, including five officers.

is generally felt that the am bassador's s latest plan is practicable.
 The status of relations between Italy and Austria has given rise to many alarmist rumors. For example a re- port is being circulated widely to the effect that Prince won Buelow has left Italy secretly, believing war to bc il- ovitable. The prince and princess are living in their villa in the suburbs. The former German chancellor spends most of the day in receiving aud die tating dispatches seeing visitors, en- tertaining and paying visits. His man. Her always is confident and his con- versation optimistic.
 Exodus Continues.
 The exodus of German and Austrian subjects throughout Italy continues. Denial is given to reports that Prince von Buelow has even, considered leav- ing Rome, although it is understood that some of the belongings of the Prince and members of his staff have been sent to Germany. The Austrian ambassador to the Quirinal and the Prussian and Barbarian ministers to the Vatican also are reported to have send home some of their effects
