The Tension Now Less.

New York Times 100 years ago today, April 10, 1913:
Vienna Believes the International Situation Has Improved.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
    LONDON, Thursday, April 10.— The Times's correspondent at Vienna wires:
    "The situation is beginning to lose its acutely critical character. The reluctance of a great majority of the powers to force on a rapid solution of the Montenegrin difficulty has slackened the tension by compromise. The best-informed European Ambassadors consequently regard the outlook more hopefully and believe they see daylight ahead.
    "The landing of Servian troops from transports at Salonika is attributed here both to the decision of Servia not to send further reinforcements to Scutari by land or sea. and to the wish of Greece not to risk the seizure of her transports by the international squadron.
    "As to the evacuation of the Albanian littoral by the Servian troops it is stated that the powers will comply with the Servian wish to know what the boundaries of Albania are, on the assumption that Servia will  then withdraw her forces from all the districts within the boundaries fixed by the powers."
    In reference to the suggestion that King Nicholas of Montenegro should receive pecuniary compensation for the surrender of his claim to Scutari, The Daily Chronicle's Vienna correspondent says it is stated that King Nicholas is to receive £800,000, ($4,000,000,) probably from a loan, guaranteed by several powers, and in addition a further strip of territory on the Albanian Coast if he abstains from further attacking Scutari.
    The Russian and Italian Ministers at Cettinje are said to be negotiating with King Nicholas on the subject. Austria, in addition to refusing to take part in guaranteeing the loan, will absolutely refuse to allow any territorial, compensation at the expense of Albania.
