PEACE move WAS
RUSE FOR Time

Paris, Jan. 23.--The Havas CORE
spondent at Rome says the Montene-
grin consul general there has received
dispatch from Premier Miouchko
witch of Montenegro. sent from Brin-
dist, in which the Premier explains
the exchange of communication be-
tween the Austrian and Montenegrin
military authorities after the fall OF
Mount Lovcen and Cettinje. Accord
ing to this information, the steps for
an armistice were merely to gain time
So as to assure the safe retreat of the
Montenegrins toward PodgoritZa and
Scutari, and to prevent interference
with the Serbian troops which were
on the way to Alessio and DuraZzo,
Albania.
A Havas dispatch from Lyons gives
an account of a statement made OH
behalf of Queen Milena Of Montene-
gro from Gen. GovoSdenosnkes says
the steamer which took the Queen,
Princesses Exenie and Vera and the
Montenegrin officials to Prindisi was
pursued all the way across the Adri-
attic by submarine and seaplanes.
The general confirmed the reports
that King Nicholas had entered upon
peace negotiations with the Austrians.
He made the same explanation as that
credited to Premier Miouchkovetch
that this course was adopted as a
subterfuge in order to gain time to or
ganize the army which lacked sup
plies and munitions for further re-
SiStance.

Verdict in Case of Negro Indict-

Portland, Me-, Jan. 23.-At the end of
an hour and Is minutes deliberation, dur

During Saturday morning, when
Jackson was on the stand in his own
behalf, during which time he almost
entirely contradicted the story of the
murder told by McRea, he showed
some signs of laboring under excite
ment, and in cross-examination con-
tradicted himself several times. After
his testimony and the gruelling cross
examination, however. he seemed to
relax into a more or less apathetic
state, and when the verdict was rem
dered, it seemed to occasion him no
surprise.
jackson will probably be sentenced
at the end Of the term, along with
other criminals found guilty during
this session of court. He was taken
back to the county jail after the YER
