London, April 5.-There is little further
development in the Balkan crisis since
Saturday The rumor of the death of M.
Stcherbina, the Russian consul at Nitro

sentry, proves to have been premature,
but the consuls condition is serious and
symptoms of peritontis have appeared.
1t is reported that the Albanian soldier
who shot him has been sentenced to fif-
teen years at hard labor.
According to a dispatch from Constan-
tinople, the Austrian, Russian and British
ambassadors had audiences with the sui
tan. on whom they impressed the neces-
sity of suppressing the Albanian agita-
ton. The sultan informed them that in
the event of the failure of the pacifica-
tory mission that he had despatched to
Albania, he would take measures for the
military occupation of the disturbed re-
gion.
The Daily Mails correspondent at
Vienna asserts that Austria has mobilized
her Agram, Sarajeve and Temesvar army
corps in readiness to occupy Mitrovitza,
should such measure become necessary.
The correspondent further affirms that
dangerous agitation exists among the
Mahommedan population of Bosnia and
Herzegovina, which is secretly arming it.
