Porte Sends Counter-terms.

New York Times 100 years ago today, December 26, 1912:
Prolonged Process of Bargaining by Delegates Now Expected.
    CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 25.— The Porte to-day telegraphed to Rechad Pasha at London counter-peace proposals as decided upon by the Council of Ministers.
    The exact nature of the proposals has not been revealed, but the official view of the situation is still hopeful.
    The Turkish press is unanimous in declaring that the allies' conditions are not acceptable, and that the Turkish delegates "were not sent to London to commit suicide."
    The Porte has repeated to the powers the demand made a month ago for a Consular inquiry respecting the atrocities alleged to have been committed by the allies in the occupied territories.
    The Bulgarian General, Ivanoff, arrived in Constantinople recently. He has Had several interviews with Kiamil Pasha, the Grand Vizier.
