THURSDAY EVENING OAKLAND TRIBUNE- JANUARY 2, 1913. TALK MAY END IN DEADLOCK Turks Refuse to Surrender Adrianople or Aegean Sea Islands Allies Make More Demands Than the Porte Is Willing to Grant LONDON, Jan. peace negotiations between the Balkan and the Turkish envoys will be broken off, according to Dr. Daneff, chief of the Bulgarian delegation, unless the map which the Turkish a delegation is preparing, showing the proposed boundary between Bulgaria and Turkey, should prove to be in accordance with the terms laid down by the allies. Dr.

Daneff said: position of affairs has not changed so much for the better a8 people seem to imagine. It must be borne in mind that from the beginning Turkey has always said she would make certain cessions in Macedonia and Epirius and in part of the province of Thrace. There remains the question Adrianople. This is one of the most vital points in the negotiations. If we find at tomorrow's meeting of the conference that the Turkish map is not in accordance with terms offered by the allies and is satisfactory to us, the negotiations ill be broken off.

SECOND DIFFICULTY. "The second difficulty is in connecItion with the islands of the Aegean sea. There again we will insist upon out, terms. fact, there is no ground for the impression, in some quarters that we have the intention of modifying our terms as regards Turkey. Whatever we may do afterward is not' connected with our negotiations with Turkey.

"We are ready to acknowledge that some progress was made yesterday, but it is necessary to bear in mind that the essential points before the conference have not been settled. Let us hope they will be at tomorrow's meeting." TURK IS EMPHATIC, Rechad Pasha, the leader of the Turkish equally emphatic on the question of Adrianople. He said: "We have ceded Macedonia in a spirit of conciliation and with a great desire to avoid a renewal of the war. On two questions, however, we will not yield. We will give up neither Adrianople nor the islands in the Aegean sea." The question of the Aegean islands is expected to be more easily arranged than that of the ultimate fate of the former capital of the Turkish empire.

Aegean islands, it is thought, may eventually be divided among the disputants. In any case the danger of resumption of hostilities is regarded as eliminated and the utterance of threats of a renewal of the war by varions delegates may be taken as merely the playing of cards in the diplomatic game. UP TO THE ALLIES. Rechad Pasha and the other TurkIsh delegates declare that Turkey yesof what she originally claimed, thus terday yielded to the allies, four-fifths going from the maximum of her expectations to a minimum, which was absolutely irreducible. It is now the turn of the allies, they point out, to reduce maximum of their original terms to such a minimum as will meet the Turks in a reasonable compromise.

Should the allies refuse to do this, the Turkish delegates say, Europe and the whole world will be able to judge on which side are to be found. moderation and real love of peace. Rechad Pasha remarked that the whole modern history of the Turkish empire was marked by a spirit of good will toward the European powers. Turkey had made at all times every concession compatible with her however," he concluded. "cannot and yield Adrianople, which, besides not having been taken by the besiegers, has for the Mussulman world a meaning and a value both sentimental and religious which no other Islamic city AMBASSADORS MEET.

Another meeting of the ambassadors of France, Germany, Russia, Austria-Hungary and Italy was held at the foreign office this afternoon and the Balkan situation was again the subject of Informal This was the meeting the diplomats since the adjournment over the Christmas holidays. The progress made at yesterday's peace conference and the questions of territorial rearrangement arising from the. Balkan war, particularly that relating to the future of Albania, were among the subjects discussed. the disposition the islands in the It seems likely, that the problem of Aegean sea will be solved by the European ambassadors, who, it is thought, will divide the islands among the disputants.
