Powers Answer Allies.

New York Times 100 years ago today, April 14, 1913:
Satisfied with One Proposed Boundary — Silent as to Indemnity.
    SOFIA, April 13.— The representatives of the powers to-day handed to Premier Güchoff their reply to the last note of the allies regarding the proposals for mediation in the war with Turkey. M. Güchoff promised to confer with the representatives of the allies and obtain their views on the note. The reply of the powers is as follows:
    "The powers note with satisfaction the disposition of the allies in favor of peace, and make reply in the following manner to the points raised by the allies' note. To the first point, Bulgaria's demand regarding the Turko-Bulgarian frontier, no objections are raised. On the second point the powers point out that, the fate of the Aegean Islands having been reserved for the consideration of the powers, this point can only be admitted subject to decisions arrived at regarding certain of the islands.
    "On the third point the powers inform the allies that they are ready to communicate to them at once the north and northeastern frontier of Albania, and that the southeastern and south frontier will be communicated to them as soon as it is determined. On the fourth point the powers state that the solution of all questions of a financial character, having been reserved for a technical commission in Paris, in which delegates of the belligerents shall take part, they do not see any reason for giving their views at present on the question of indemnity."

    CONSTANTINOPLE, April 13.— Djavid Pasha, formerly Turkish commander at Uskub, continues to be a thorn in the side of the Servian Army in Macedonia. He is now reported to have captured Avlona, imprisoned the members of the Albanian Provisional Committee, and hoisted the Turkish flag.
