THE TROUBLES OF TURKEY.

AN ACCOUNT OF THE LATEST sKIRMIsH WITH
THE REBELS.
The correspondent OF the London Standard, writing
from Vienna under date OF August l3 says:-
The Vienna papers have received from the Ministry
the following seemingly authentic account Of the last
skrmsh near Nevcsine or Soatz. On the plateau and
mountain chain between these places least six skr
mishes have taken place.

as before by the Turks and the insurgents though the
sending Of this report had not yet undertaken any advance
situation has essentially altered since then however
the more questionable the fact that up this hour 1000
throws great weight into the scale.
The Turks blockaded in Trebigne hold out bravely
tho defence OF badly fortified cities having been the
strong side OF the Turks during the Crimean war
1t seems, though that the garrison of the town docs
not consist of one battalion of light infantry alone
reported, but also of regiment perhaps 900 mem
OF regular infantry at least one squadron of cavalry
and several guns Without including the suburbs the
town has 5000 inhabitants, mostly Mohammedans who
doubtless afford the garrison slight aid. Besides
this, the insurgents have cannon The garrison
make sallics daily, for they in Of provisions
which they expecting from Ragusa The insurgents
have already suffered severe losses from these salies
On Monday alone they had nearly 100 dead and wounded
III, however, the garrison is not relieved-and this is
scarcely possble-hunger will compel them TO sur
render.
The confirmation of the fact that the insurgents are
armed with breechoaders of the best construction is
above ALL worthy of remark in this official report 1t
Is convincing refutation of the assertion that the
rahs spontaneously revolted out of desperation the
oppressive taxes, for they must have received tho
brcechl leaders from abroad Even directly after the
Emperor Francis Joseph returned home from Dalmatia
when the Scaves began to the Italian work
men, the Italians in their letters of complaint stated
that great numbers of weapons smuggled Unto
the interior of the country" and that the little
town of Milna alone sixty revovers had been con-
scaed These arms destined for the Herzegovina
and were sent of long before the harvest gathered
in and the collecting Of the taxes had be-
gun. In Trieste it is whispered that mountain
cannon OF the smallest calibre are smugged INTO
Dalmata in the large trunks of the Servian volunteers
but this must be fable Yet at all events, the Mon
tenegrins are taking part IN the revolution in great
numbers. Prince Nikita has made known to the
Powers that he would have fear for his life
should he prevent his subjects from joining in the con-
ict Should the tidngs be confirmed that the Prince is
coming TO Vienna the journey would only be under
taken with the idea of thereby proving albi and
during his absence all the Montcnegrns would rush to
arms. The Russian government has already declared
that in consideration of the Princes precarous situation
he should in such case be judged lcnicntyn Nor is
Prince Mna reposing on bed of roses His faithful
subjects give him to understand that he will be expelled
If he should fail to expe the Turks The news of his
engagement is received with extreme coldness in
Servia, especially since IL has become known that
his betrothed has not, said at first dowry Of
5000 900 roubesevery Servan had of reckoncd
that this whole would have fallen TO him after the
establishment Of Communism-but only an income OF
5000 ducats So, il we take it all in all thunder cloud
is hanging over Europe
Allow to mention few errors OF the earlier tcle
grams II stated that tho insurgents had taken
Monastir, strong fortress in Roumelia with numer
garrison. In reality they occupied the Monastir
Reuters kilograms reports that the insurgents have
taken Giaboa, and that the Turks have concentrated
1000 men near the Krupa Now, place named Gia-
bella does not exist IN Turkey; only the town of Gabca
oflcn mentioned Of late And. moreover the latter
cannot have fallen into the hands Of the insurgents
again n the Turks the Krupa for this river flows
to the left Of the Narena and Gabela lies the left
bank OF the latter near the capital, Mostar
