Ultimatum To Montenegro.

New York Times 100 years ago today, April 22, 1913:
Troops to be Landed by Powers if Siege of Scutari Does Not End.
    ANTIVARI, Montenegro, April 21.— An ultimatum was sent to Montenegro to-day by the commander of the international fleet blockading the coast. It declares that unless Montenegro immediately withdraws her troops from Scutari the fleet will land troops at Antivari, Dulcigno, and San Giovanni di Medua.
    An officer was landed at Cattaro and conveyed the ultimatum to Cettinje.

    ATHENS, April 21.— The reply of the Balkan allies was presented to the powers to-day.
    It is a general acceptance of the offer of mediation between Turkey and the allies, with the reservation, however, that the questions of the disposal of the islands in the Aegean Sea and of the delimitation of the frontiers of the Province of Thrace and of the future State of Albania shall be left open for debate between the allies and the powers.
