It is feared that the demands of Montenegro, that the Powers should take some steps of coercion towards Turkey beyond the Faval Demonstration, wilt jeopardise the latter being carried into effect. England and Russia are willing to carry out the display, but it is doubtful if the other Powers who have sent vessels to Bagusa will consent to act in concert. Australians v.
