Austria Delivers Severe Ul- timatum-POwers May
 Intervene in Delicate Situation

London, July 24-European diplomacy is faced with n situation of extreme gravity in the controversy between Austria and Servia. Unless 1t is handled with great delicacy 1t Is not unlikely that others will become involved In war. An ro-Hungarinn uItimatum to Servia. cOuched in n tone of almost unprecedented severity and fastening on the Servian government and people responsibility for the assassinations of ArchduIxe Francis Ferdinand and his wife at sarayevo, has been presented to Belgrade. It demands satisfaction within As hours.
 The almost universal opinion in the Flu ropean capitals is that the Servian gov ernment cannot comply with such humili- atng terms as are set forth in the ulti- matum, since compliance would be tanta- mount to an admission of Servias guilt.
 The efforts of European diplomacy, should the powers fail to avert the threat ened war, will be devoted to localizing it. Montenegro has indicated her readiness to support Servia in the event of an Aus trian attack. This certainly would plunge the whole of the Balkans into hostilties. Austria counts on the neutrality of her allies, Germany and Italy. but with the possibility of Russian intervention on be- half of Servia, Austria would run great risk of risings among her own great Slav population.
 A fact much commented upon by the ho- chosen a moment for the issuing of her ultimatum when President Poincare is ab- sent from France and two of the Balkan pTemiers are abroad

Russia Taking Notice

St Petersburg, July 24-The Austro- Servian situation was considered by the cabinet today It is understood that as a result Russia immediately will inter- vene in the controversy by asking Aus tria to proong the period she has given Servia to reply to her ultimatum so that European diplomats may act.
 The official view is that should Austria refuse to prolong the term of the ulti- natum, Russia may take extreme meas ures. It is considered here that the dis pute should have been submitted to the European powers. to whose decision Ser via is willing to defer.
 Another cabinet council will be held un- der the presidency of Emperor Nicholas before a final decision is taken
 The Official Journal today publishes the following information concerning the trouble between Austria and Servja:
 .'The imperial government is seriously preoccupied by the ultmatum addressed to Servia by Austria Hungary. Russia cannot remain indifferent to the Aus tro-Servian dispute

PRESIDENT WILSON
 TO DISCUSS HAITIAN
 SITUATION TUESDAY
Decision as to What Steps to Restore Peace Will Be Considered
 by Cabinet

Washington, July A.-Decision as to what steps might be taken by the United States to force the restoration of peace in San Domingo and Haiti was post poned today until next Tuesday, when President Wilson will discuss the entire situation with his cabinet.
 In the meantime negotiations are under way through diplomatic channels which 1t is hoped will bring about composition of affairs in Haiti. The rebellious ele- ments in both countries now realize that the American government by concentrat- ing marines at Guantanamo, is in earnest, and there is a disposition at the state department to await the outcome of the diplomatic negotiations before advising drastic action.
 Preparations, however, have gone for ward for the concentration of 1000 ma rnes within striking distance of the Haitien coast.
 It was announced today that the ma rine forces will be commanded by Col. Charles A. Doyen, veteran of many cam ragns and a seasoned fighter.
 The transport Hancock, which carried the vanguard of the marines from Vera Cruz to Guantanamo for a possible Hai- tien campaign is due in Hampton Roads tonight. She probably will be sent back to Guantanamo Sunday with 400 more marines now waiting at the Norfolk navy yard.
 Famine has been added to the troubles of the rebel Domican city of Puerto Plata. Ten deaths from starvation were reported today. General Bordas' federal forces are still outside the city and the federal gunboat Independca lies off the town.
