The Savage War in Turkey.
HOPE FOR sRRvIA.


A correspondent teegraphs: The situa-
ton is not altogether hopeless for Servia,
for the deilles on the approaches to the
Morava valley arc well fortified and pow
erful resistance may meet the invaders.
The roads are encountered by thousands of
emigrant wagons, conveying the terrified
inhabitants Of the invaded districts beyond
the reach of the cruel Turks. The larger
number of those on the roads are old men,
women aud children.

HOW TIE PORTE FEELS ABOUT MEDIATION.
BRUSSELS, Aug. ..
An Independence Beige dispatch from
Paris states that the Turkish ambassador
there denies the statement telegraphed to
the lie Temps from Vienna that the porte
will accept the mediation of powers re-
garding Montenegro. The ambassador adj
mitted that it was probably accurate that
the porte had declined to negotiate with
Prince Milan considering he had forfeited
his rights and ought to be dethroned that
the integrity of Servia should be re- pecttd,
but that the porte will probably occupy
Belgrade and Kragpjevaiz The ambsssa-
dor thought the intervention of the pow ers
at this time ouli be premature.
A WARNING TO BARBARous TURKS.
LoND N, Aug. 8.
The Times CONSIDERS the capture of
Gurgus iva,z as o severe if not a a al blow
to the Serv,ns, ard says the Turkish min
listers must lie solemny warned that LEY
Will not be allowed to make wanton use OF
their victory If they think that on The
soil of Serva their troops may safely com
nit the one hundredth part of the atrocities
perpetrated in Bulgaria, they are victims Of
infatuation. Servia ia not hid away in q
corner. What is done there one dey is
known next morning in the capitals of
Europe, and statement that the Bosbi-
B,zOuks were let loose on a defenceless
peasantry for prudential motives Of states
men, would form but a sorry barrier
against the popular indignation # coun-
tries on whose forbearance the Turks have
too long relied. Even the-ssludiation of
the Turkish debt did less to give n just idea
of Ottoman rule than the batcheres
in Bulgaria, and a repetition of those hor-
rors in Servia would make the picture of
that rule fatally complete. Nor will Tur-
key be allowed to make such use of her
victory as to cancel Sefvian freedom. Ser
via is under the protection of the great
powers, and with them will lie the duty of
imposing any needful restraints on the i'm
peuous spirit of her people. Whatever
may be their faults, they are advancing in
civilization as fast as the Ottoman part of
Turkey is decaying. Other states than
Russia would not be disposed 10 let them
again fall under the rule of the Turkish
pashas, or even allow Belgrade to be again
occupied by Turkish garrison.
