have just returned to Belgrade alter q tour
my dispatches to Semn for transmission byrwire
via London. During my journey visited Alexinatz,
Kniazevac and the district of Saitschar.
THE PRESENT SITUATION.
Kniazevac has been captured by the Turks, who
entered servia through the dedles of Granada,
giving the invading army complete control of the
valley Of the Timok.
sAITsCHAR EVACUATED.
General Leschjanin, whose forces were centred at
6aitschar, fearing that his line Of communication
would be cut of, has evacuated that city and
Kniazevac, and fallen back into the impregnable
denies through which are the only two routes
that lead to the valley Of the Morava. Having
driven the Scrvians from the valley of the
Tmok it will be necessary for the Turks to invade
and subjugate the Morava Valley before they may
claim complete success. In view of this fact the oc-
cupation by the insurgents Of the only two routes
leading into the valley of the Morava is very i'm
portant.
FLEEING FROM THE TURKS.
The roads lead over succession Of wooded
mountains, and are now encountered by thousands
Of emigrant wagons conveying the terrified inhabit-
ants Of the invaded districts beyond the reach of the
cruel Turks. The larger number of those on the
roads are Old men, women and children, who come
from all directions. The news Of the doings Of the
Turks in Bulgaria and the traditional brutality and
inhumanity OF the Musselmans have struck terror
into the hearts of the people, who know they will
have no quarter1n the event of falling into the hands
of the INVADER.
SEVERAL VILLAGES BURNED.
