pei Small Place.

Cittinje, April 6.-The little king
dom of Montenegro has thrown
down the gauntlet to six great pow
ers. She dee ined to yield to de-
mands OF powers to abandon her at
tempt to gain possession of Scutari
and Officially has announced that
sethere will be no-siepartttre from. an
attitude which conforms to the me-
cessity of the state of war now ex-
isting between the allies and Tur-
key"
An international fleet comprising
warships OF Austria-Hungary, italy,
France, Germany and Great Britain
are now blockading the Montenegrin
port of Antreari The fleet includes
Austrian ships, British cruisers,
/ German, Italian and French
cruiser.
Russia is not represented by a
warship but has acquiesced in the
naval demonstration. On Saturday
the British admiral sent the follow
ing message to the Montenegrin pre-
mier
II have the honor to inform you
that the international fleet is as
sembled in Montenegrin waters as a
protest of the non-fulfillment of the
wishes of the great powers. ! desire
to call your excelleney's attention to
the presence OF the fleet as proof
that the great powers arc asking in
concert and request that wishes be
fulfilled without further delay.
Please inform me Immediately that
your government is ready to carry
out the wishes of the great powers.
To this the Montenegrin premier
replied regretting that the presence
of the feet which he considers a vio-
lation of neutrality proclaimed by
the powers when the war began and
to the detriment of Montenegro.
The premier continues
Despite the pressure which the
presence of the feet implies there
will be no departure from an atti-
tude which conforms TO the necessi-
ties of the state of war now existing
between the allies and Turkey.
A brigade OF Austrian troops at
Cattaro has been manuevering near
the Montenegran boundary. The
eustomI,y note has not been given
the Montenegran government and
Austria's action is considered un-
friendly and menacing.

New York, April Rodman Law
plans to make the first attempt to
fiy across the Atlantic Ocean to win
thee $4,000 prize offered by the
London Daily Mail for the first
heavier than air Machine to fly
across the Atlantic He will leave
Newfoundland in Burgess Wright
hydroaeroplane with Henry Binss
ham Brown in July. Fle hopes TO
make the trip in thirty-six hours
with but one stop in mid-oeean.
Tentative arrangements, he says,
have been made with the Cunard,
White Star and Anchor Steamship
lines who will instruct the captains
Of their vessels to keep sharp look
out for the aeronauts. No wireless
apparatus will be carried
Fly 1000 Feet High.
An altitude of 1900 feet will be
maintained. The airship will have
pontoon floats and will be construct
ed in Marblehead, Mass, next
month.
The equipment will consist OF
sixty gallons of gasoline--enough
for fifteen to eighteen hours flying
five pounds OF condensed food in
thermos TASKS. two pairs of night
glasses, a compass and some rockets
and coston, lights When complete
with fuel and equipment. exclusive
| of the aviators the machine Will
weigh 1900 pounds.
Law is confident that the flight
will be successful. Each of the two
men will have set of controls in
front of his seat. They will have
regular watches of five hours each,
one sleeping strapped to his seat
. while the other steers.
| HALF Wav in First Flight.
The first sixty gallons of gasoline
will take them half way across they
believe, by continuous flying. In
the last hour sharp lookout for a
convenient liner Will be made and
the machine viii then volplane
down TO position alongside to take
on new supply. They then will
start on the remaining flight to Ire

with the aid of these favorable wind.
Law hopes to make an average
speed OF sixty miles an hour acros,
the sea.
Several British and French
ayiators have already entered for
the flight, but each of them has de
clared that it would not be possible
to make the fight for another tw,
years and that the attempt would
cost S150,000. Law says that h.
can make the fight without any de
lay and that preparations will onl,
cost a few thousand dollars.

tally stated as long ago as December 20. On that

has been drafted and presented, and this morn,
