AUsTRIA'S TERMS TOO HARSH.
An Explanation Made Why Montenegro
Quit Peace Farley.

London, Jan. 22.-The Daily Tele
graphs Milan correspondent gives what
he says is the inside story of Montene
gro's negotiations with Austria regard
ing the capitulation of Montenegro.
"Since the defeat of Serbia, says the
correspondent, "the court party, fearing
similar fate for Montenegro, had ad-
vised King Nicholas to surrender as the
only salvation. The king sent for Gem
eral Martinovich to defend the APP
proaches to the capital, promising to open
negotiations if defense were futile. The
general was unable to muster more than
], 200 men, which number was obviously
insufficient.
"King Nicholas then consented to ca
pitulation and began the parley, relying
on the assurances of his advisers that
Austria would treat Montenegro with the
utmost generosity, even to giving con
cessions on the frontier in return for
Mount Lovcen.
"When discussions of the actual terms
were begun, King Nicholas was stunned
by the harshness OF the Austrian de-
mands, which reduced Montenegro to
vassal of Austria. Meantime General
Martinovich, who throughout had been
an opponent to capitulation, retreated to
Scutaria, where he was reinforced by
patriots. He is now the real leader of
the country"

GROUP B" AIDED LINCOLN.
Secret Service Agents Sure German Spy
Is Still in New York.

New York, Jan 22--Federal secret
service agents received information yes
terday which convinced them that Igna.
titus t. Lincoln, self-confessed German
spy and former member of the British
House of Commons, was aided in his es-
cape from deputy United States mar.
shal last Saturday by "Group b" pow
erful organization of European political
refugees. The government agents were
also satisfied that Lincoln has not left
New York City.
Group b. the organization which the
federal agents believe arranged Lincoln's
escape and is now harboring him, is
body which was formed in this country
in 1872. Group came prominently into
public notice some years ago, when it
went to the aid of Jan Pouren. a Rus
sian political exile whose extradition was
demanded by the Russian government on
the ground that he was a murderer.
Pouren had attempted to start revolu-
tion in the Baltic provinces of Russia.
Colonel Roosevelt was then in the White
House, and Group B succeeded in secur.
ing an order from him for Pouren's
release.
