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.

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.

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. “Mv jewels vver- stolen in May, 1891," she said to Judge Cutting. “1 never had any idea who took them.” Taking Child Away.

And now the powers want to take Scutari from the Montenegrins, in tin- name of amicable settlement. Here is Montenegro’s answer: "Montenegro will sacrifice her na tional l!fe before she will bow down at the knee of the powers." Tliis is the statement of Alexander Miunkevitch. a peace delegate from Montenegro to the assembly of the powers. The allies* are -staunch confederates.
