grave danger of capture today.

pied the Montenegrin seaport of
Dulcigno, are moving eastward to
cut off the Montenegrins' retreat

tari, being joined there by a few thous-
and Serbs and Albanian irregulars under
Essad Pasha. They planned last stand
at Scutari, hoping to be able to retreat
to transports on the Adriatic in event of
their defeat.
The Monenegrin officials confirm re-
ports that King Nicholas arranged an
armiStiCe with the Austrian invaders as
al ruse to gain time for the retreat of
his army.

They expressed fear that the Aus
trians will wreak terrible vengeance
upon Montenegrin civilians when they
learn of the deception.
The AuStrians. however, suspected the
good faith of the Montenegrin officials
Though an armistice had been ar
ranged. General KOeVess sent troops

some ones property. They thought the
quaint little animals were wild, just as
the rabbits and lizards are, and that
any one who chose could take possession
of them. They were endeavoring to bring
several of them back to camp when an
old Mexican rode up to them on horseback
and cut loose with a lot of Spanish that
almost floored the guardsmen. One MEM
ber of the party could understand Mex"
but the others did not "savvy' a single
word. They knew that the Mex" was
greatly excited. but did not know
whether he was mad or glad.
Gun Helps Convince Them.
Their Spanish speaking comrade un-
derstood the situation clearly. and he
told his fellow guardsmen that they
had made mistake in endeavoring to
bring the burros back to camp with
them; that they were not wild. but
were thoroughly domesticated and
highly valued animals belonging to the
Mexican. The artillerymen did not
doubt the word of the Mex. for he had

no time for an argument.
