Montenegro and Mediation.
CETTINGE, Aug 30-The Montenegrin off,
cial newspaper publishes an article rejecting
foreign mediation and declaring that Servia and
Montenegro will not abandon the conflict until
the Sciavonic provinces are completely freed
from the Turkish yoke.
The Powers Quarrelling.
LONDON, Aug 31.-The Standards special
from Constantinople says material differences
appear in the views of the powers with refer
ence to mediation, Austria and England desir-
ing peace and Russia wishing an armistice only
which will allow her to treat on the conditions
OF peace in conference with the other powers.
The Porte is willing to make peace and is op.
posed to an armistice. After the Porte declines
an armistice the majority of the powers will
find that peace is easier to be had without it
and the situation will force Servia and Monte
negro to urge negotiations.
The Prussians and Servians.
LONDON, Aug 3O.-A special from Bagdad
to the Times says that the keenest anxiety is
felt concerning the armistice. Every day in
creases the danger of the war spreading, and
the Servian army is fast becoming Russian
auxiliary force fighting on Servian soil. The
OF the battle with remarkable valor. Out of 48
men who fought as company at Aexinatz,
30 were left dead on the field. The Servians
are becoming jealous ard afraid of the Rus
slans as they feel that the control of their army
is Slipping from their hands and will joyfnlly
accept peace if obtained on good terms. The
seven days fighting before Alexinatz has been
greatly exaggerated. 1t is estimated that the
Servians entire loss was only few hundred
killed and about 2300 wounded. No lists of
killed and wounded has been published since
the beginning of the war.
The Feeling in Belgrade.
A despatch from Belgrade to the Reuter-
Telegram Company says that the popular feel
ing there is warlike. 1t is generally expected
that the Porte will refuse an armistlce.
Still AssauIting Alexauitz.
LONDON, Aug. 31.-A Belgrade despatch to
the Daily News says the Turks keep up their
assault on the Servian lines near Alexanitz
hoping to capture the place before plan of
mediation is adopted. The Servian infantry
has been worsted, but the artillery behave we'll.
Russian Influence Against Peace.
Russian influence is stubbornly interposing
obstacles to peace and Russians are swarming
into Servia. Should the efforts now making for
a six weeks armistice succeed, the Servian ar
my at the end of that time by reorganizing by
the influence of foreign officers, and by the ex-
perience it has had under fire, will be stronger
than at the beginning of the war.
