Cettinje. Montenegro. April 23.-
After a final depserate attack lasting
twenty yfour hours. the Montenegrin
troops forced their way into scutarL.
The fortress for six months. since the
middle of October, 1912, has offered a
stubborn and heroic defense.
The assault which gave the Mon
tenesrins possession of the city, which
has been the sole object Of their war
against Turkey, began on Monday
night The Montenegrins took the Of
fensive all along the front.
The Ottoman soldiers made num-
Der of counter attacks and tried with
their utmost energy to drive the at
tacking force out Of their works, but
they were finally compelled to- fall
back and leave their positions in the
hands of their besiegers, who received
constant reinforcements

1t was midnight last night when the

the city at o'clock this morning.
According to one report Essad

ognized the uselessness of further re-
sistance after the outlying key Of po-
sition. Ketarokotsch, had fallen.
Another report says that the Mon
tenegrin commander in chief had been
negotiating since Monday with Essad
Pasha for the surrender Of the place.
Still another account says that the
Turkish troops defended the city un-
til the last.
ssrvians Did Not Help.
Altho the Servian troops did not
participate in the fnal attack, their
artillery was used by the Montenegrin
gunners and it is said that to this fact
their success was largely due.
The act of capitulation was signed
by the Turkish commander shortly
after the Montenegrint troops had
reached the center Of the city. ~

BRYAN GIVES w,NELEss DINNER.

SmasheeN Precedent Ak Entertainment
- For Diplom ats.
Nashingtons April 2s.-whenever
the DIPLOMATIC corps dines at the home
of Secretary of State William Jennings
Bryan it will have to mount the water
wagon.
It Is an experience which does not
appeal to most Of the foreigners, who
are accustomed to wine with their din-
ners. The secretary Of state, however.
is not concerned about their personal
tastes in this matter. AS host it Is
his right to say what his guests shall
eat and drink, and it Is their duty to
smile and at least appear to enjoy the
fare he provides.
The first diplomatic dinner given
by Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan took place
Monday night. The guests of honor
We're the British ambassador and Mrs.
Bryce. All the ambassadors and sew
eral Of the ladies Of their households
were at the table.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan received their
distinguished guests cordially. and af-
ter short wait in the drawing room
invited them to the dining room, the
secretary escorting Mrs. Bryce and
Mrs. Bryan taking out the British am
bassador.
There were no wine glasses on the
table only goblets Of water and small
er glasses, which held out hope or
something in the intoxicating line.
AS the dinner proceeded the am
bassadors found the smaller glasses
were for grape juice and mineral
water. Some of these men are wine
connoisseurs. They can tell a good
brand Of champagne from the cheap
brand the moment it touches their lips.
At their own embassies they nave
served the choicest wines. running from
Madeira to champagne.
What they thought may he lmaS-
ined. therefore. when they found they
were expected to digest their dinner
with mineral water and grape juice.
NOT even liqueurs were served with
their coffee.
The fact that the secretary OF state
d,d NOT serve wine and will not do SO
c3used a great deal Of comment among
finlomats Yesterday. One of them re-
marked that in order to fortify himseif
for a BRYAN dinner he would take
drink before starting for the secre-
tary's home. o..
"Well, like grape juice, don't you

Sacramento, CAL, April 23.-Th,u the
exchanges Of kilograms between Presi-
dent Wilson and Governor Johnson.
the settled policy of the California ,ad-
ministration on the question Of alien
land ownership, as agreed upon last
Sunday. was officially made known.
Governor johnson and his par
ty leaders in the senate ia
vor a bill excluding from land
ownership in the state ) all aliens
ineligible to citizenship under the laws
of the United States. Such law
probably will be passed, In spite Of the
objections from Washington, 1t was
said last night.
The assertion IL made by the COVER
ns... that a state law Of this nature
would not be in contravention of any
existing treaty. He Is upheld in this
view by the majority leaders in the
senate, who met with him yesterday.
Governor, johnson sent the following
reply to President Wilson'S personal
appeal:
Immediately on receipt Of your 'tele-
gram Of this date, 1t was transmitted
to both houses%0f our legislature. l
think may assure you that1it Is the
desire of the majority OF members Of
the legislature to do nothing In the
embarrassing to our. own government
or offensive to any one.
1T is the desire of the legislators
specifically to provide in any act that
nothing therein shall be construed as
affecting or impairing any rights COW
cred by treaty. altho frur1-the legal
standpoint this is deemed unnecessary.
If any act be passed it will be general
in character, relating to those who are
ineligible to citizenship.
Il speak, I think, for the majority
of the senate Of California; certainly
do for the vetoing power Of the state.
when convey to you our purpose to
cooperate with the national govern
ment, and to do only that which Is ad-
mitedly within our province, without
intended offense or invidious liscrimi-
nation"
Opposition to the administration pro-
gram will come from the democrats.
aided by few republicans who are
opposed to anti-alien legislation Of any
kind.
The democrats will seek to strike out
the words ineligible to citizenship" In
any bill considered and on this point
the real fight on the measure win be
waged.
It II not exnscted that the Thomp-
SOM Birdsall bill will be reached on hle
until Thursday. and no action can be
taken untA that tfn1e.. 4
President Wilson's message called
forth little comment. The democra-
tic minority already had formulated its
views largely In accordance with the
Bryan message that came last Satur-
day, and the progressive. republican
majority. as shown by Governor john
sons response. declined to consider
the presidents telegram as a demand
upon the legislature to enact particu-
lar kind Of bill.

MAY RETAIN CAPTURED CITY.
Fall Of Seutari Interfsres With Paeti.
ton Program Of Powers. -


London, April 23.-While the cap
ture of Scutari by Montenegrin troops
Is believed in European capitals to
have complicated the situation in the
far east. as the powers had decided to
include the territory in the future state
of Albania, the opposite view is taken
by the Balkan allies.
1t Is now believed by the Balkan ma
tions that Montenegro will be SO sit
uated as to establish her claim to the
fortress OF Scutari and may maintain
her title to the captured city.
Scutari was defended by Il force of
10000 Turkish troops, who also had to
guard the outlying strongholds and
connecting works surrounding the city.
This they did SO we'll that the Mon
tenegrins could not make any impress
sion until few weeks ago. when their
Servian allies brought up their siege
guns, which soon reduced the fire OF
the Turkish artillery.
The Montenegrins are said to have
lost 5000 killed and the Turks 5000
killed during the siege.
Ignored Threat Of Powers.
Nothing has as yet been decided as
to the continuance of the blockade OF
the Montenegrin coast. which was in.
stituted on account Of the refusal Of
the Montenegrins to abandon the siege
Of Scutari on the order of the powers
Only few days ago an ultimatum
was sent to King Nicholas of Mon
tenegro by the commander of the all
lied fleets to the effect that landing
parties were to be sent ashore unless
the conditions imposed by the powers
were ar once carried ont x,
Most Of the civilian population in
Scutari remained in the city thruout
the siege. The inhabitants included IT,
900 Mohammedans and 5000 chris
tians. 1t is said at various times that
the people Of Scutari we're in con-
dition of semi-starvation, but it now
appears that there was a considerable
quantity OF grain and other stores in
the city and what the inhabitants
lacked most was vegetables.

slightest degree alter the decision of

test II an attempt is made to oust them
forcibly either by means Of an interna-
tional expedition or by Austria, and
Europe.
