Austria Hungary Asks Demand
for Evacuation of Scutari
from Powers

VIENNA. April 2i.-The aged and
picturesque King Nicholas, OF Mon
tenegro, now in triumphant posses.
sion Of Scutari, is today the most i'm
portant figure In all Europe. From
London to st. Petersburg, he holds
the spotlight OF popular and official
interest, and the ministries of all the
great nations would give much TO
know exactly what is In the mind OF
the doughty ruler Of the smallest
kingdom, who so nOnchalantly detied
them ALL
King Nicholas rudely shattered the
harmony of the concert OF the pow
ers, and on his future attitude may
depend the peace of Europe. VIII
the king be satisfied to have taken
Scutari and now be willing to give 1t
up? Will he live up to his promise OF
yesterday, to hold the city against
the powers as courageously as he
fought for II against the Turks? Does
the willy old monarch only want money
and would he give up Scutari for a
cash consideration? These are the
questions today uppermost In the
minds OF the diplomats of Europe.
The powers today received the
notes last night sent out by Count
Won Berchtold, Austria-Hungarian for
eign minister, asking that Montenegro
be compelled to give up Scutari and
Austria-Hungary today nervously
awaited the reply Of the other ma
tions.
Won Berchtold urged that the pow
ers serve an ultimatum on Montene-
gro. giving her AZ hours in which to
evacuate Scutari. In the event that
King Nicholas still was defiant, the
dual monarchy asked permission to
oust the captors.
