TURKEY YIELDS TO AUSTRIAN DEMANDS CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 8. The Porte has yielded to the Austrian demands de-mands regarding the detention of Austrian Aus-trian mails and the incident may be regarded re-garded as closed. Threatened complications compli-cations have therefore been averted. The Austrian ultimatum demanded the dismissal of the directors of customs, cus-toms, the secretary-general of the vilayet vila-yet and the Chief of Police of Scutari within three days, failing which Austria Aus-tria would make a naval demonstration at Salonica and following the example of France on the occasion of the occupation occu-pation of the island of Mitylene would demand a settlement of all other pending pend-ing questions including official recognition recog-nition of the schools under Austrian protection. The energetic attitude of Austria in ordering a squadron of warships to be made ready to sail induced the desired action on the part of Turkey with the result that the difficulty has been tided over.
