VIENNA. Austria, March 21,-The Aug.
trla-Hungnry government Is preparing an
ultimatum to Montenegro, according to
an unofficial statement today. The ulti
matum was decldod upon, It Is said,
owing to the unsatisfactory nature of
the reply to the Austrian remonstrances
regarding Scutari.
The Montenegrin reply Is considered
here as creating a serious situation. A
lively exchange of views Is proceeding
between the Austro-Hungarlan and the
Italian Foreign offices In regard to pos
sible Joint action by the two powers.
Austria will insist on enforcing the de
cision of the European powers that Scu
tari shall remain ah Integral part of the
future autonomlous state of Albania.
Reply of Klnjr Nleholn.
LONDON, March 21.-Klng Nicholas of
Montenegro today replied to poremptorv
demands mado by Austria yesterday In
connection with the Montenegrin bom
bardment of Scutari. Although the note
Is conciliatory In' tone, the king refuses
most of Austria's demands. Ho says he
lias ordered that the bombardment be
directed only against the forts and trmt
the rest of tho city shall not bo shelled.

ATHENS, Murch 21. King Constantino
of Qreece took tho constitutional oath of

Under auspicious circumstances In tho
presence of the highest official of tho
state and the entire Parliament.
The metropolitan of Athens, who was
surrounded by the members of tho ho'y
synod In full canonicals, offered prayer
and then read aloud the oath, which the
king repeated In a firm voice. The king
then signed the oath and all the cabinet
ministers and the metropolitan counter
signed It amid the hearty cheers of the
deputies.
A salute of 101 guns was fired when tho
royal procession left tho palaec-jfor &
Chamber of Deputies. Brilliant weather
