Italy's New Peace Terms.

New York Times 100 years ago today, September 23, 1912:
Offers to Divide Administration of Tripoli with the Porte.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
    LONDON, Monday, Sept 23.— The Constantinople correspondent of The London Times reports that he hears on good authority that the Porte's refusal to open official negotiations with Italy on a basis or pecuniary indemnity for the loss of sovereign rights over Tripoli and Cyraenaica has been followed by a fresh proposition from the Italian delegates, involving the maintenance of the sovereignty of the Sultan, who would be represented by a Turkish official, intrusted with the administration of the Moslem pious foundations and the Moslem religious courts, leaving the remainder of the administration in the hands of Italians or Arabs.
    The Porte would at the same time confer the fullest possible measure of autonomy on Tripoli and Cyraenaica and withdraw his troops, leaving the field clear for the Italians and Arabs to continue fighting or compose their differences. The Porte is now discussing this proposal.
