`diete combined' action to turn the Monterlegrins . out oi Seutari or we shall d0'it along," il the effect of the circular note sent by the Austro-Hun, garlan Government to the Powers composing _the concert ‘od Europe. The note is virtually an ultimatum.
Austria-Hungary declares she can-
not permit the -Montenegl-ins to iiout the decision of the great powers. 'l'ne prestlgefof the European nations has been violated, says-the note, and Aus- tria-Hungary demands that the pow- ers decide proliiptly on the _steps to be taken to restore that prestige, 'adding that _if the-powers should be unable to reach a speedy decision she will see to it herself that the will of Eurdpe is respected, and that the Montenesrins vacate Seutari.
CWPTINJE, Montenegro, April 25.
-"Scutsrl is from to-day Montene- grin,” is the defiant reply of King Nicholas to the European invitation to surrender the hard won Turkish capital.
The King made this statement in
the course ofa speech delivered from `the balcony of -the _Royal Palace
among lids audience being the minis- terfiif he-Balkan .States who came to-congratulate him. He added: ‘
"Should .Europe still think of
snatching Rcutari from M0ul1¢D2€\'0 who has plmost given her life blood to take it, Europe ,will have to carry out thn'tas|r» bv force of arms."
PARIS, April 25.*-In an interview
_ ..___....,'___ ,
published in the Matin, tbelldontent- grin ex-Premier, LaZar,, Miyusko- viteb, who has just arrived for be- fore Scutarl, said that the Montene- grins had bombarded the city 'from all sides for two nights and a day, and the garrison, fearing a final as- sault, cnpitulated.
"We are now told that Austria in-
tends to take it from ns," said the former premier. “If Europe permits her to do this, she will have to take it over the dead bodies of all' our male population. It would not be Possible for>King Nicholas, even if he were willing, to bow before the decl- sion of the Powers; the Montenegrin people and army would oppose such a course as one man.
“Let the public opinion of Europe
judge between the attitude of our poor little country and that of the six great European powers.”
BERLIN, April 25.--There are
many indications here to-day of the seriousness with which the German Government and public regard the European situation, which, according to a hign diplomatic official, has en- tered another crisis as grave as that which preceded the Austro-Russian demobilizatlon. '
The press- bureau of the German
foreign ofllce, contrary to its usual custom, was not prepared to-day with. a statement either in regard to the ultimatum to Montenegro or to the
, general situation. ____ _V

OVER ONE HUNDRED DEAD
PITTSBURG, Pa., April 24.-Up to
darkness to-night 35 bodies oi miners had been taken from the Cincinnati mine of the Mnongllela River Conso- lidated Coal and Coke company, a subsidiary of the Pittsburg Coal com- pany a_t Fineieyville, the scene yes- terday of a disastrous explosion. " Many other ‘_bodie, it is said, have been located but the greatest difficul- ty _is being experienced in finding means to convey; the bodies through wreclcage to the surface.
To-night eighty miners are unac-
counted for. These, with the 35 dead taken from the mine, bring the probable list of fatalities up to 115. Hopes of relatives and friends of the missing men that their loved ones are living are being dissipated slow- ly. Resellers are unable to reach the inner workings of the mine on ac- count of the gas fumes, water and de- bris. It was amlounced by officials of the
Pittsburg Coal. company to-night that 19|) men entered the mine yes- terday morning. The officials stated
