Strenuous Efforts are Made to Induce
Montenegrins to Agree With Aus
tria.
Rome, May 4.-Strenuous efforts
are being made at Cettinje to induce
Montenegro to agree before the meet
ing Of the ambassadors at London to-
morrow to evacuate Scutari uncondi-
tionally. The argument is offered
that this is the only way by which
Austrian military Intervention can be
avoided.
AT the same time the powers of
the triple entente--Great Britain,
France and Russia-particularly
Russia-are using their influence at
Vienna to induce Austria to defer
her threatened coercion Of Montene-
gro.
Meanwhile news from southern
Albania Is of the gravest import
Anarchy prevails, according to this
information, in many sections, and
the soldiers Of Essad Pasha and
Djavid Pasha are looting and slay-
ing. They are said to have formed
into regular bands of brigands. The
Albanian defenders OF their homes,
along with their women, have been
ruthlessly cut down.
While the Turkish government at
Constantinople has officially disavow-
ed Essad Pasha. it is known that
special emissaries have been sent out
by the porte with the object of hav-
ing Essad recognized as cmir Of AL
bania. a majority OF the Albanians
are said to be urging Italian inter-
vention for the reestablishment Of
order.
Italian preparations have been
made to dispatch a large expendition,
If that should be necessary. Gen.
Nava, who participated in all the
African campaigns and commanded

In 1896. has been designated as COM
mander of the expedition. Gen.
