New York Times 100 years ago today, June 4, 1913:
Report Received In London Augurs Well for Balkan Peace.
LONDON, June 3.— News of the resignation of the Bulgarian Cabinet was received in London late to-night. If true, it is likely to serve the ends of peace.
Dr. Daneff, the Bulgarian peace delegate, on his arrival at Sofia is expected to reconstitute the Cabinet. Probably his hasty summons home yesterday was for that purpose, for the fall of the Guechoff Cabinet was not unexpected.
It is thought that the new Ministry will consist of a coalition representing all parties.
The establishment of a neutral zone between the Greeks and the Bulgars at Salonika removes the tinder which was likely at any moment to cause a conflagration. The neutral line is purely provisional and is not intended to influence the future delimitation of the frontiers.
The Premiers of the four Balkan States expect to meet first at some Balkan town, and if they fail to reach an agreement will adjourn their deliberations to St. Petersburg.
Greece and Turkey are still deadlocked regarding the renewal of ante-bellum treaties, on which Greece insists as a condition of taking up the peace settlement.
An Exchange Telegraph Company's dispatch from Constantinople says the Bulgarian troops began to-day the evacuation of the Turkish seaport of Rodosto, on the Sea of Marmora.
