THE BOSNIA 1NSURRECT10N.
BELGRADE. September THE in
surgents in Bosnia are increasing in
numbers. The Turkish forces are con-
fined to the extreme north and south.
RUMORs OF sERVIAN DECENTRALIZATION.
A Times correspondent at Belgrade
telegrS pbs the following: Nothing is
certainly known about what is passing
in the neighborhood Of Alexinatz, but
there is srong conviction here that
another Ibattle was fought on Monday.
Some Servians who have just arrived
from the front doubt this. They repre-.
sent the Servian army as reduced to q
mere mob, and some Of the Russian
surgeons are returning home"
The correspondent Of the NetOs says:
"Rumors of the Servian Decentralization
and the disintegration of the Servian
Morava army, are circulating here in
conse1 uence Of the hints dropped by the
Russians returning from the front. The
iciais here are dumb concerning the
situation around Alexinatz."
THE WORST ACCOUNTS OF fridays
DISASTER CONFIRMED.
LONDON, September THE Stand
ards correspondent says seven Russian
medical officers, who have arrived from
AIexinatz, confirm the worst accounts OF
fridays disaster. They say the Ser
vians do not hold any position at Alexi-
natz, and confirm the report OF the
Turkish advance on Belgrade, by way
Of Kragujevatz, on the southeast of
Montenegro. The Turks cannonaded
the whole line from Padgoritza to Speiss
on Tuesday, creating the impression
that the battle was progressing there.
This proves to have been q feint, with
the object of divertiDg the attention of
the Montenegrins from MEDIUM, which
place they are investing, the Turks de-
string to revictual 1t. They have not
succeeded yet, and they must drive the
MontenegIins from the cliffs, eighteen
hundred feet high on either side of the
gap in which MEDIUM lies, before they
can revictual it. The result of the fight
ing In the northwest is still unknown.
DISTURBING RUMoRs FROM BERLIN.
LONDON, September There were q
number of disturbing rumoTs received
from Berlin yesterday, but they were
not confirmed from any other source,
and it is believed that they are Of stock
jobbing origin. The opiniOnIeported to
the Standard from Berlin that the out
break OF q Russo Turkish war is un-
svoidable is not entertained at other
capitals. On the contrary, there seems
to be q growing confidence that the gen.
eral peace of Europe will be maintained,
however difficult be the settlement Of
details between Turkey and the insur-
gents. The Ports'sjrefusal to grant an
armistice Is also unconfrmed, but 1t is
thought not unlikely, and 1t is believed
the result of such refusal would be an
immediate resort to the formulation of
terms of peace between Servia and
Montenegro and Turkey, leaving the
question of the ipsurrected provinces for
subsequent settlement.
The Vienna correspondent OF the
Times, discussing the negotiations be-
tween the powers, says: with those
who have been and still are for an arm
istice, the idea Of Conference for the
regulation of all pending questions is
gaining ground more and more. The
idea was first started by France, and
seems to find support with Italy and
Russia, the latter, however, not wish.
ing to take the initiative in the matter.
Those who are for taking in hand
peace pre- iminaries simultaneou'l ly with
an armistice do not encourage the idea
of q conference, which is likely to de.
lay, instead Of expedite, settlement
on account Of the difficulty in making
a programme for such a conference.
The fixing OF that programme would,
they think, take more time than an
agreement on general principles of paci-
fieation, the details Of which could be
easily settled by ambassadors In Con-
stantinoplein concert with the Porte. In
the face Of the many difficulties which
q pscidcation may yet present q reas.
suring thing is the unanimous wish of
all the powers for peace, and therefore
a sincere desire to avoid anything
which might lead to q complication.
AS a sign OF this, a communication
made by Prince GOrtschskoff at War
saw, Is making the round Of diplomatic
circles. 1t was made in a way which
would show 1t was meant to become
known, and Ii reported as follows: Rus:
