Bulgars Propose Terms Of Peace.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 3, 1913:
Demands Include Possession of a Large Part of Salonika. Vilayet.
REFUSE TO PAY INDEMNITY
Greek Charge In Washington Says Reported Bulgarian Victories Were Defeats.
    LONDON, Aug. 2.— Bulgaria submitted counter-proposals to the demands of the allies at the Bucharest peace conference to-day according to a telegraphic dispatch from Bucharest to the Exchange Telegraph Company.
    The Bulgarian proposals stipulate that the frontier line shall start at the old Bulgarian boundary, and run southward between Kumanovo and Egri-Palanka, thence between Veles and Istip, across the Vardar River to Murichovo, near Monastir, and then by way of Moglen, Geoghel, and Kilkish and to the west of Seres, across the Struma River, to the Gulf of Orfani.
    Such a frontier would give Bulgaria possession of the towns of Kotchana, Istip, Strumitsa, Seres, and Kavala and the greater part of the vilayet of Salonika.
    Bulgaria declines to recognize the allies' claim for an indemnity or to enter into any negotiations concerning that subject.

Special to The New York Times.
    WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.— The following communication, addressed to the editor of The New York Times and signed by Alexandre C. Vouros, Chargé d'Affaires of the Greek Legation in Washington, was received by The Times correspondent to-night:
    "A semi-official dispatch from Sofia, Bulgaria, published in the press of this country, declared that the Bulgars had won victories on the upper Bregalnitsa River, the plain of Pechovo, and in the Mesta Valley against our armies.
    "I am authorized to state in the most positive terms that the Sofia dispatches have turned to victory what was a most complete rout for the armies of King Ferdinand, which, after receiving considerable reinforcements of fresh troops on July 26 and 27, attempted counter-attacks at Petchovo, hoping to force the Greek line, and tried to take by surprise our detachment of Mahomia.
    "But, receiving reinforcements, our troops repulsed the enemy in the most brilliant manner, the following days attacked him at their turn, and carried all along the line, before the suspension of hostilities, a decisive victory, ending in a complete crushing of the enemy."
