London. —News of the fall of Scuta ri to the Montenegrin army has been received with extraordinary demon strations In all the allied capitals, no tably Belgrade and the Bulgarian pre mier has sent effusive congratulations to the Montenegrin premier. The first effect of the fall of the fortress has been the extension of the international naval blockade to Du razzo, but what will be the next step at the powers in facing the new sit tation it Is difficult to foretell. Ae- I wording to tbe view prevailing at St. Petersburg, the coercion of Montene gro would not be an easy matter. Belgrade.—Not even Servian victo .les during the war caused anything ike the scenes of enthusiasm which were witnessed here over the taking jf Scutari by Montenegrins. Business was pt a standstill, while the whole populaUon gave itself oyer to rejoic tngJ Lawyers, merchants, soldiers and workmen danced in the streets to the •trains of music. Wine may almost be'Jatd to have been flowing in the getters, lor everywhere barrels were brott&ed, and all were free to drink U» the victory of the Montenegrins and the glory of "Greater Servla." s Frigate Saved.

The Ocean ic Steam Navigation company sought to have its liability fixed by the laws of the United Btate». "China's Call to Prayer". The Chinese Government sent out an appeal to all the Christian churches in China to set apart A pril 27th as a "Day of Prayer" that China might be guided to a wise solution of the critical prob lems besetting her. This act is unparalleled in all the history of this great country, and the first time in the history of the world that such a request has come from a non-christian na tion. The missionaries notified the churches here in America of this appeal and they united with Chi na in observing this "Day of Prayer." Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S OASTORIA TO FIGHT OVER THE SPOIL'; Greece and Bu'gafia Rapidly Drifting to War. London, England.— Bulgaria and Greece are rapidly drifting towards war over the possession of Saloniki, The Greeks have mobilized •very available soldier and concentrated one army in the neighborhood of Saloniki, while another is being landed at Or fani,vin the Gulf of Orfani, to watch movements of Bulgarians at Drama and Kavala. The victorious Epirus army from Janina is being distributed along the new strategical front from Saloniki to Orfani. In -the meantime the Bulgarians have suspended passenger traffic be tween Dedeagatch and Saloniki and are utilizing the railway for concen tration of iroops in the neighborhood of Drama close to the Greek position. They have now brought one division each from Adrianople, Tchatlja and Bulair, and it is estimated that the Bulgars now have 90,000 aoldiers fac ing the Greeks and a Servian force, supporting the Greeks,- which la as sembling along the railway Bryan Ordered to California. Washington.—President Wilaon di rected Secretary of State Bryan to proceed to Sacramento to co-operate with Governor Johnson and the mem bers of the California legislature in framing a law regarding the ownership of land by aliens that would not con flict with the treaty obligationa of the United States, particularly with Japan. 1 am going in the hope that we may be able to find the best solution of the difficulty," said Secretary Bryan to the press. "I feel sure that they in California will enter upon work with the same spirit of co-operation as the president and I do. I am hopeful, in deed, that we will be able to arrive at the wisest solution." For Reform of Currency. Washington.—Chairman Owen of the sesute banking and currency com mittee, called its members together, and advised them ot results of infor madl conferences with President WU son, Secretary McAdoo and Chairman Glass of the house banking commit tee on the subject of currency reform.

CHANGES RECOMMENDED Secretary Says Thar* Ara Too Many Posts, and Not tha Propar Train* ing for War. Washington.—ln a statement Secre tary Garrison, pointing to the Ameri can army scattered in small units throughout the country, impossible to coalescence for practical instruction in the larger tactical measures of bat tle, urged the importance of assem bling brigades and divisions periodi cally in times of peace for war training, pending the adoption of a governmental policy for the adequate distribution of the army. Epitomizing his idea, the secretary said: "I hope that war may never come, but in the present stage of civilisa tion we must recognize the possibil ity: and it Is with this idea In mind that I say T believe it will be well for the country, if our legislators would make provision for the annual assembling of at least one division as a school, wherein our officers might be given that practical train ing which is so necessary to develop educated generals and staff officers. We may not need a large army, but It should be one which in organiza tion and training is as nearly perfect as it is possible to make it Otherwise, whatever is spent is not bringing Its full efficient return. And this applies to thought, skill and training, as well as to money." _ Discussing the question of a future military policy for the United States, Secretary Garrison said it seemed to be agreed that there were entirely too many army posts at the present time, and that many of them were not where they were useful or desirable under existing conditions: "Whether this situation should be remedied," he continued, "by concen trating the army into a few quiet, large posts or into only as many as would permit a regiment at least to be quar tered in each, I have not as yet formed any definite conclusion hi my own mind. Much may be said effectively upon each side of this question. I hope, when I get the time, to give this mat ter my most earnest consideration, with a desire to reach a conclusion that Is best for the army, which, of course, will be that which is beat for the country." REBELS GAIN OVER HUERTA Rebate Doing aa They Pleaae in Ail Parts of Mexico. Mexico City.—Further evidence of the aggressiveness of the Northern rebels was given when several hun dred of them, well armed and mount ed, captured the town of Yenegas, on the National railway, in the atate of San Luis Fotosi. They eut the railway to the north and they moved fever to Matchuala, a mining town and smelting center. The rebels continue to cover new terirtory and cripple transportation facilities. More than 2,500 miles of the National railway system are out of commission. To this is added a long atretoh of the Southern Pacific soqth of Guaymaa and other short Independ ent lines. The inability up t6 date of the gov ernment to float a loan is a serious handicap, but notwithstanding this, Preaident Huerta is doggedly forcing the campaign. The recent announce ment that the pay in the army will be a peso and a half a day haa been fol lowed by fresh efforts to augment the ranks. Volunteers, for the most part, by conscription, are being obtained here at the rate of one hundred a day. However, the government's campaign appears to be largely defensive.
