VIENNA, Monday Aug. 30, 1875.
Three battalions Of the Turkish expedition which
landed at Kleck have reached Mostar the capital Of
Herzegovina. They met with no opposition on the
march.
-Four thousand Servians have entered Turkish ter
ritOry and encamped at NOvi, where they have
seized telegraph lines. Bands of Servians have ap
peared in the Balkan Mountains, and are endeavor-
ing to incte the Bngarans to rise against the Porte
The political Correspondence says Montenegro has
completed negotiations with Turkey, by which the
former binds herself to remain neutral between Tur-
key and Herzegovina in consideration Of certain ter
ritOrial concessions.
The Presse says 81 900 Bosnian Christians have
fled to Austrian territory The whole district from
the mountains to the rivers Unna and Sauna has
been abandoned by the Christians and devastated by
the Turks.
Rumors, deemed doubtful however, ahoat to
the effect that Prince Milan of Scrvia has abdicated.
Nikitka of Montenegro has been appointed gener-
alissimo of the Bosnian insurgents.
LONDON, Monday, Aug. 30, 1875
special dispatch to The Times from Berlin says
There is no doubt that all of Northern Bosnia along
the River Save is in full rebellion. The fugtives
who have sought safety on Austrian soil number
5000, and are mostly wives and children of the
rebels who have deserted their villages and made for
the hills. In herzegovina the insurgents have
formed a national government under Lynbobratich.
The insurgent leaders have been assured by their
Montcnegrin friends that very shortly all MOnene-
gro will come to their assistance. In Servia military
preparations continue. at Belgrade the War Office
has ordered the arms and accoutermcnts of the
militia, including surgical apparatus, to be made
ready for immediate inspection. The Seryian mill
tiamen have been directed to provide themselves
with three days food should they be called out
Provisions are being stored in the fortresses. Ar
rangements have been made TO seize all the horses in
the country.
The steady growth Of the rebellion may be in
ferred from the following passage in the Monte
negrin official journal, the Gids Cernd0orzd :"
