tist church, which was used as bury
ing ground for victims of the cholera
epidemic of 1888. is now, being opened
in order to widen the alley between
Short and Main streets into street,

investigation, however, shows that
such fears are entirely groundless

ticallytall the bodies in the old ceme-
terry were removed after the chilera

AUSTRIA IS DEF|ED
"ScUTARi Is FROM TODAY MON
TENEGRiN," REPLY SENT
POWERS BY THE KING.
WAR APPEARS INEVITABLE
Government of Francis Joseph Tells
Nations to Turn Invaders Out of
Captured City or 1t Will Under
take the Task.

London, April 26.-A circular note
sent by the Austra-HuRgarian govern
ment to the powers, Thursday, de-
clared, Take immediate combined
action to turn the Montenegrins out
of Scutari or we shall do it alone"
The note was virtually an ultimatum.
s Austria-Hungary declares she can
not permit the Montenegrins to fiout
the decision of the great powers. The
prestige of the European nations has
been violated, says the note, and Aus
tria-Hungary demands that the pow
ers decide promptly on the steps to be
taken to restore that prestige, adding
that if the powers should be unable to
reach speedy decision she will see
to it herself that the will of Europe is
respected and that the Montenegrins
vacate Scutari.
"Scutari is from today Montene-
grim" on the other hand is the defiant
reply of King Nicholas to the invita-
ton to surrender the hard-won Turk
ish citadel.
The king made this statement in the
course of speech delivered from the
balcony of the royal palace at Cettinje.
Among his auditors were the ministers
of the Balkan states, who came to
congratulate him. He added:
Should Europe still think OF
anatching Scutari from Montenegro,
which has given its life blood to take
it, Europe will have to carry out the
task by force of arms"
