Monday The Limit Fixed By Austria.

New York Times 100 years ago today, April 27, 1913:
Unless the Powers Take Steps to Oust Montenegrins from Scutari, Vienna Will Act.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
    VIENNA, April 26.— According to official information, Austria is prepared to put in force coercive measures to compel Montenegro to evacuate Scutari unless the Powers declare within the shortest possible time what they intend to do.
    Should Montenegro refuse to surrender Scutari to the Powers, an Austrian note is to be delivered to the Powers on Monday.
    According to the decision of the Powers, the future ruler of Albania will assume the title of King.

Special Cable to The New York Times.
    PARIS, April 26.— That the Montenegrin occupation of Scutari was the result of secret negotiations between Essad Pasha, the defender of Scutari, and King Nicholas, is affirmed by a Temps correspondent, who has been in touch with well-informed circles in Rome.
    "It is asserted," writes the correspondent, "that Scutari did not fall after assault but yielded after certain negotiations.
    "Essad Pasha was authorized to retain possession of his guns, rifles, and ammunition and allowed to retire with his army to Tirana, fifty-five miles from the fortress, in the centre of Albania.
    "When one remembers that Essad Pasha belongs to a great Albanian family and is thereby in a position to become a candidate for the Albanian throne, and when one realizes that he will find himself in central Albania at the head of an armed and organized force in good condition, and when one bears in mind the conditions under which he capitulated, the conclusion is inevitable that the King of Montenegro came to an agreement with Essad Pasha. Therefore the conflict foreseen between the Balkan allies and Albania may be transformed into accord."
    The Temps puts credence in this story and says it is further justification for the cautious attitude of the great powers. This coup de théâtre may once again upset Europe's calculations.

    SALONIKA, April 26.— On urgent orders from the Bulgarian commander at Seres, the Seventh Bulgarian Artillery
    Regiment left here this morning for that place, and the Fourteenth Bulgarian Infantry Regiment is to follow on Monday.
    The reason for this movement of troops has not come out, but the Bulgarian army has been concentrating for some time at Seres, which lies forty-three miles northeast of this city and is the most important town in Eastern Macedonia. They are presumably preparing to face the Servian concentration on the Vardar River.
    There is much rejoicing among the Greeks here at the disappearance of Bulgarian troops from this city.
