ESSAD PASHA PROCLAIMS
HIMSELF BALKAN KING

VIENNA, April 28.-Essad Pasha,
whose army was recently allowed to
leave Scutari after surrendering the
city to the Montenegrins, has pro-
claimed himself king of Albania and
is reported to be marching against
Tirana at the head of 10000 Turks, in
tending to capture the city and for
mally proclaim himself king.
Essad Pasha is an Albanian chief
tain of the type which earned for
the Albanians reputation for bar
barrie simplicity approaching savagery.
He was always opposed to the Young
Turks repressive measures in AL
bania. In Vienna and Paris his sur
render of Scutari is regarded as hav-
ing been an arranged matter with
King Nicholas, who approved his plan
to proclaim himself independent
prince of Albania.
The whole scheme of the alleged
storming of Scutari and the marching
out of Essad Pashas army with their
arms is now regarded as coup d.
threatre to deceive Europe. Essad is
