Bulgars Accept Terms.

New York Times 100 years ago today, April 19, 1913:
Agree to Powers' Proposals — Reported Clash with Servians.
    SOFIA, April 18.— Premier Güchoff to-day informed the Sobranje that the Bulgarian Government had accepted the terms of the last note of the great powers containing proposals for ending the war in Southeastern Europe. The Premier said Bulgaria's acceptance contained reservations, but that these would not hinder the conclusion of peace.

    VIENNA, April 38.— A dispatch to a newspaper here reports that Bulgarian volunteers have attacked a Servian transport train between Kumanovo and Egripalanka. It says sharp fighting ensued, in which eighty Servian soldiers were killed or wounded. The Servians fled, leaving the transport wagons full of arms and ammunition in the hands of the Bulgarians. The losses of the Bulgarians are unknown.

    LONDON, April 18.— A Central News dispatch from Salonika says the Seventh Division of the Bulgarian Army is reported to have received orders to march against Monastir, which is now held by the Servian troops.
    The Servian commander is said to be concentrating three divisions of troops at Veles, twenty-three miles to the southeast of Uskub, against the threatened Bulgarian attempts to dispossess the Servians of the territory they captured during the war.
    The Greeks in the same way are taking all the needful military measures for the retention of Salonika.

    CETTINJE, April 18.— King Nicholas. it is understood, is preparing a proclamation explaining to his subjects that, as the Servian troops have been withdrawn, he finds himself compelled to abandon the siege of Scutari.
