New York Times 100 years ago today, July 16, 1913:
Premier Daneff Reported to be with the Servian and Greek Premiers at Nish.
BULGARS STILL RETREATING
Massacre of Armenians at Rodosto, Occupied by the Turks on Monday, Is Reported.
LONDON, Wednesday, July 16.— Dispatches through Berlin and Vienna say that the Bulgarian Premier, Dr. Daneff, has joined the meeting of the Servian and Greek Premiers at Nish for the purpose of discussing conditions of peace.
On the other hand, a Sofia dispatch to The Times says that the Daneff Cabinet has resigned.
Official dispatches from Athens confirm the announcement from Salonica on Monday that Greece is prepared to sign an armistice on condition that the frontier questions, the payment of indemnity by Bulgaria, and guarantees for the welfare of the Greeks under Bulgarian rule shall be settled on the battlefield.
Fighting continues. The Greek forces have occupied the town of Drama, and, according to Athens advices, the Bulgarians have abandoned the Kresna Passes and are retreating toward Dubnitza, pursued by the Servians and Greeks.
Unconfirmed reports have reached the Armenian Patriarchate at Constantinople of a massacre of the Armenian population at Rodosto, on the Sea of Marmora. Turkish forces under Enver Bey are supposed to have occupied Rodosto on Monday.
ATHENS, July 15.— An authoritative statement is made regarding the conditions of peace stipulated by Greece.
These are that Bulgaria shall abandon all claims to the territory occupied by the allies; that she shall pay an indemnity for the expenses of the new war and the damage done to the inhabitants of the towns and villages burned by the Bulgarians; that she snail guarantee the lives and property of Greeks inhabiting Thrace, and, especially, that she shall permit free exercise of religion and education to them.
BELGRADE. July 15.— The report that Servia refuses to enter into peace negotiations with Bulgaria, is without foundation.
She is waiting only for the arrival of persons armed with full powers from Bulgaria to open the discussion of peace preliminaries. After their signatures have been attached to a demand for negotiations, hostilities will cease at once.
