WAR;.

Tchernayof in Retreat-Activity Of all
Parties.
LONDON, July lit is reported that
TchernayOff is retreating to the Servian
frontier, his army being dem0ralized, and
also that Tchernayoff has been dismissed.
A party of newspaper correspondents,
taken for spies, on the frontier, were fred
and two wounded. Among the number was
the representative of British journal.
A Ragusa special to the Times says the
MOntenegrin operations were delayed in Or
der to give the insurgents time to re0rganize
and arm. This work being completed, the
Montenegrlns resumed the pursuit of the
Turkish army in Herzegovina.
According to the latest reports Dervish
Pasha was preparing to attack their south
frontier.
Turkey has proposed as q condition of
the naturalization of the Danube that Rou-
mania should forbid the formation of bands
within, or transportation of supplies
throug h her territory for the Servians:
1t is stated that the Turks have 10000
men in and around Nikish.
Fresh troops are being constantly dis
patched from Constantinople. These troops
are full of enthusiasm and fanaticism. Guns
and stores of all kinds continue to be sent
to the frontier. The fanatica] feeling of
L
aroused, and they must expect no mercy if
beaten.
The Servians are drawing all their forces
to TchernayOff's army. The latest reports
say that fighting is now going on around
Nikish.
Rumors of an attack on Belgrade by the
Turkish fotilla are absurd. During July
and August the Danubian Navigation Com
pany use boats drawing only three feet Of
10 do
gerous. There is no chance for Turkish
coupde-main with fiotilla.
A conflict between Austria and Russia is
apprehended, growing out Of Andrassy' g
hatred of Sclaves. The Turkish authorities
pronounce war news, unless officially fur
nished, as bogus; or at all events that gov
ernment has had no advices to furnish
within two days past.
The Paris correspondent of the Times,
reviewing the Eastern situation, says it is
the opinion of competent men that nothing
transpiring must be considered as a mere
series of attempts Of the Servians to Join
the MOntenegrins, End such junction, when
effected, will be .ne real beginning of the
war.
The Times Vienna special says according
to concurrent accounts from Widden and
Belgsade Isman Pasha has withdrawn from
before the Saitechare, having tailed 10 1orce
the position and his tlaAks being threat
ened.
A special from Vienna announces that
the German equadron left Salonica on Sun
day with sealed orders to be opened at sea-
A Berlin telegram to the same paper as
serts that the Porte will soon formally no
tify the powers that it can not recognize
the Servians or Montenegrins as belliger
ants.
A special dispatch to the NeUs says:
"Mehamet Ali has been driven back
Solsyonic journals report that Russian
Prince Vladimir is at Alexinstz incognito.
A dispatch from Constantinople to thu
Daily Telegraph, dated July 10, says ~

| The result ls not yet known"
