Cettinje. Montenegro. March 24.-It
liz semi officially announced that the
ultimatum, which Austria presented to
Montenegro saturday, demanded a
suspension OF the military operations
around scutari, until the entire civil
population has left the town. In the
event Of the refusal, Austria will re-
sort to arms against Montenegro.
In a note which is couched in
threatening terms. Austria also de-
manded that all Catholics and Mo-
rounding district who have been con-
verted. concealed since the Monte
negro occupation must be restored to
their former faith.
With view to proving that the
conversions In question were not at
tended by any compulsion, Monte
negro replied. that she proposed to ap-
point q commission, on which, besides
the Montenegrin members. there
should also be one representative OF
Austria and another Of Italy, or some
other great power.
Montenegro Makes Stand.
Montenegro at the same time stated
that she could not allow the sovereign
right of Austria to be exercised in ter.
ritory occupied by Montenegro. Aus
tria refused to accept the answer to
this note, on the ground it was not
seemly. In government circles here
the conviction is expressed that Aus
tria refused not OH account Of the
form Of the reply. but because Of its
contents.
The official journal publishes COM
munication in which it is stated that
the Catholics and Mohammedans Of
1pek and Jakova expressed the wish to
Join the Orthodox church. but were
advised their u szssslss bsflsSss: @
The movement spread, however, az
the people were unable to understand
why they should not return to the old
faith, OF which they had preserved the
usages. When they repeated the de-
mand their wish was, granted.
The priest Palic, the communication
explains. was arrested for melting the
Albanians against Montenegro. He
was being taken to Ipek for trial when
he attempted to escape ana was shot.
