London. June l9.--Bo:h court and
government are much concerned here
over news received FROM Vienna, and
corroborated from Cettinje and from
Rome, to the effect that the reigning
prince of Montenegro has become crazy,
and that putting him under restraint is
a question Of days, If not hours, though
it is difficult to conceive who there is in
the principality to undertake the task.
The prince talks and rants of nothing
save war with Austria, and much appre-
hension is felt at Vienna for the Aus
trian envoy at Csttinje, who, If not ex-
posed to bodily harm, is liable at any
moment to become the object Of most
unpleasant encounter with the prince.
The latter's present trouble originated
with insomnia, brought on by financial
troubles, BY some exceedingly humili-
ating manifestations of imperial dis
approval received from st. Petersburg,
and by his bitter disappointment at
the curt refusal of Russia to indorse
his project of forming a Balkanic fed.
