Deliver Ultimatum and Their j
I
Subjects Are Ready to War
With Combined Powers.
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, May It.—Europe is stand
ing in amazement at the remarkable
spectacle of the tiniest kingdom fight
ing against the combined strength of
the great powers of Europe. Repeat
ed demands and threats have failed
to move that old warrior. King Nich
olas, who with his son. Prince Danilo,
stands first in the ultimatum that
Montenegro will stand or fall on the
question of the retention of Scutari,
the capture of which cost so many
Montenegrin lives.
What makes the case more embar
rassing to the great powers of Eu-
rope is the fact that they know that
this is no idle boast of King Nicholas.
They know that the indomitable
spirit of centuries of war-like achieve
ments is behind him.
It was thought that the first move
on the part of Austria against Mon
tenegro would bring about a com
plete back-down by Montenegro. But
imagine the amazement of all when
Prince Danilo, on the announcement
of and Austrian advance, actually
moved troops out of Scutari to meet
and attempt to repulse it.
Fire of Heroism.
The lire of supreme heroism, light
ing the whole world, burns brightly
in the little European kingdom of
Montenegro. The same fire has burned
there for centuries, but within the
> last month har become a blaze of
glory, kindled by the defiance which
the tiny nation hurls in the face of
tlie greatest powers, with the great
est armies and greatest navies on
earth.
Montenegro's devoted army lias
captured Scutari, the last stronghold
of the Turks in Europe. Montenegro,
it is* very plain. Is going to keep Scu
tari, in spite of the fact that Eng
land. Germany, France, Austria, Rue
s'a and Italy are vowing by their
sacred gun boats that Montenegro
shall not keep Scutari.
Montenegro, with an area of 3,600
square miles, ail army of 60,000 men,
and no navy, thus is defying the great
powers, whose total strength is 6,-
315,000 men, 'whose aggregate area
■ is 13.882,659 miles, and whose navies
are well-nigh omnipotent as navies
go.
The great powers who have as
sumed the ask of dividing amicably
the spoils of the war between Turkey
and the Bulgarian allies, declare that
Scutari must go in the pot for the
equal division, (’onferences in Lon
don and elsewhere are being held
daily by representatives of the pow
ers, seeking means of dispossessing
Mfntenegro. Some of them are for
peacefully kicking out the.. Montene
grin heroes. Austria, however, is hot
ly for taking up arms against the
men of the little mountain kingdom
who have achieved Scutari alter one
of the most desperate sieges of his
tory.
King Nicholas of Montenegro, typi
fies the spirit of his subjects. Dis
patches from Cettinje, the Montene
grin capital, declare that news came
to the palace telling of the approach
of an Austrian squadron, possibly
hostile. King Nicholas whs taking
his siesta. They awoke him with
the telegram, and read it to him.
Sleeps On Austrians.
“Don't disturb my sleep," he re
marked, turned over, and resumed his
nap.
* His men are as defiant. It mat
ters not to them, apparently, th.it
Austria alone has a population of 28,-
ObO.OOU against their handful of 250,-
000, or an army of 850-.000 to their
50,000. They are going to keep Scu
tari, they declare in mass* meetings,
in public rallies, in street demonstra
tions’.
Montenegro won Sc utari fairly. Tire
task was allotted to them by the al
lies at the first of the war and they
'stuck stubbornly to it for months.
Tin.-y proved themselves heroes, fight
ing wi f h desperate bravery, day after
day. One man in eight or ten <
their numbers fell, many of the
courtftig death an nonchalantly a*
•*ver did the Light Horse Brigade. In
thr repeated attacks on the citadel of
Ta.ab' sch. the great forties's over
which the crescmt llamv.iu apparent
ly invincible, the 'Montenegrin soldiers
sacrificed their lives with a. reck-
c snc.-’s that command* -; the admir
ation of all Europe.
Da* after day the;, piung.-d nearer.
The Turks sought to isu-jedc their
advance on the fortress, and built wire
fences to stem the charges. Two
hundred young Montenegrins volun-
t“* red to cut tin* fences, which were
i trung under the very guns of tht
fort. Their fate was certain, None
of them returned alive. None of them
* xpecied to return alive.
Rut they cut the wire fences and
Hint nearer, daring death, to hurl
bombs into the fortifications of the
Turks. Following them came the
army of the Montenegrins, led b>
their own King Nicholas, and his
gallant son. Prince Danilo, and Scu
tari fell. The final assault, last Tues
day cost the ll\*es of 3,000 Montene
grins. But they killed 5,000 Turks,
captured 22,000 prisoners, and dis
placed the creveent with the cross
of their Christian nation.

Thomas Connelly, seventy-two.
who died here supposedly a pauper,
1 was admitted a* a will in tae Pro-
j bate Court.
j Connelly wrote to a parish priest
in Escunaba, Mich., that twenty-two
I years ago he had robbed a woman,
now living there, of $300. To make
restitution was his la«t tvidi, and the
old man, supposed to be penniless,
had more than a thousand dollars
sewn In hi.- underclothing for that
purpose.
The letter, written three days b« -
fore his death, was addressed to
Rev Father Francis J. aBrih, <>f
Escanaba. The appeal to Father
Barth to find the woman from whom
Connelly stole the $800 worth of jew
elry a quarter of a century ago. led
to her discovery us Mrs. Anna Jane
Gallagher McCauley. II**. claim for
$1,374, the value of the stolen prop
erty and accumulated interest, will
be paid by the public administrator
from Connelly’s funds, which are am
ple to cover it.
Connelly’s letter indicated that he
could not die in peace without con
fessing the theft and obtaining abso
lution.
He wrote, in part:
Rev. Father Barth: i saw your
name in a paper from Escanaba, and
J ask you to help a poor dying sinner.
T am looking for a lady named Anna
Janes Gallagher, and 1 hear she mar,
ried Patrick McCauley and moved to
I Escanaba.
T tin seventy-two years of age, and
j I want to make myself right with
God. I want to find this lady, be-
I came 1 stole about $300 worth of Jevv-
1 elry from her 20 years ago. Now I
| am dying and I want to pay back
I this money.
Father, for God’s sake, try to find
this lady. I have suffered for my
sins and I am living like a pauper in
a lodging house, and I have $1,500
sewed in my underclothing trying to
keep it for this lady. I made every
cent of the money out of her things
I stole.
Reverend father, try to find this
lady, and address me at the General
Delivery, Chicago PoKoflice. She often
gave me a good meal when I was
hungry, and that is the reason I want
) to pay her. God knows I am sorry
for what I did.
I will s* nd this money to you just
as soon as I hear from you. and I
will die a pauper and fast for my
sins. I hope she will forgive me.
• THOMAS CONNELLY.
Connelly did not live to get his re
ply. After his death the county au
thorities found $1,677 in his pockets
I and newn to his underclothing. His
letter caused Father Barth to be
lieve that was all his estate, but the
public admintstrafn: also found a
safety deposit key. and examination
of the box disclosed a bankbook with
deposits of $2,437. The balance of the
estate will escheat to the State after
Mrs. McCauley receives her award.

CHICAGO. May —The story of a
mother’s attempt to lure her child
away from .Morton T. Culver’s home
by offering her candy and kisses was

ST. LOUIS. May 3. Alfred Join?:*,
sixteen years old, is no longi i "The
Boy With u Twisted Brain.” A skill
ful surgical operation has relieved the
presaura of Hie skull on the memory
centers of hi* brain, and after years
«f Intellectual darkness he is be
ginning to see the light.
Alfred was bor i on Christina^ Day,
1896. seven months after the St. Louis,
tornado. His mother lived m the
storm beli and received a severe ner
vous shock as ihe result ot the .01-
nado, though she wa ; s not phvskally
injured, but the fright had a parental
influence on the child.
The operation was performed by
Dr. Francis William Kirsch. at the

and with delicate surgical Instru
ments untwisted the nerves and put
them back into normal position.

tempted kidnaping stirred Judge
Foell into declrring he would issue
an injunction if the parties in the
suit did not respect their relative
rights.
According to culver, Mr.\ Culver
left her borne in Glencoe for an hour.
While she wps gone Dorothy played
in the street. Mrs. White, her mother,
and a man named Andrew Streuch, an
editor, of Chadwick, Hi., beckoned to
her.
The girl would not go to them, and
ran into a neighbor’s house. The coil -1
pic followed her and she van into the
Culver home. Here she hid herself
in the basement while her mother
begged her to come out “just for a
minute."
“Dorothy refused,” concluded Cul
ver. "They have tried to steal her
several times and she was afraid. I
want the mother restrained from do
ing any thing like that again."
The attorney was sent to find Mr::.
White's attorney and the Court prom
ised to take up the matter when both
parties were present.
When the case is tried Dorothy will
be in court. She has resisted the ef
forts of her mother, who assert.** that
the girl's mind lias* been poisoned
against her. Mrs. Culver declared that
no word concerning her mother had
ever been said to the girl.
"She has grown up here, and she
thinks of me ay her mother,” said
the woman.

And now the powers want to take
