ALBANIANS PLACABLE.

Decide to Accept Concessions Turkey Offered and Cease Hostilities.

Cettinje, Montenegro, Aug 3. The Mallisori tribesmen have they decided to accept the concessions made them as a condition that they cease hostilities and return to their homes in Albania. The exodus from Podgoritz, thiry-eight miles north of Scutari, began to-day.
    The Montenegrin Minister of War told the tribesmen that it was the sincere desire of King Nicholas that the revolt cease and that they return forthwith to their homes, in order that they might not fling away concessions with which they should be satisfied. The revolutionists replied that they had little faith in Turkey's promises of amnesty, but would obey absolutely the King's advise.
