Of Ene Morava Alexinatz is in their power.
It Is utterly deserted. The Servians at Del
eg mad are in no condition to take the field.
r me Turks committed great atrocities during
f11d after the battle on Friday. Hideous stories
reach me of rape and murder, of wounded
Russians tied to trees and roasted and girls
outraged and fayed alive. The roads are filled
with thousands of fugitives. The Government
talks of victories, and keeps the public in the
dark about the danger which is threatening
them. There is now no force between the
Turks and Belgrade"
Fresh disaster has befallen the Egyptian army
in Abyssinia. Fifteen hundred Egyptian troops,
with their commander. Rahlbe Pacha have
been massacred. The Abyssinians afterward
proceeded to Massacroa, which they seized.
The garrison and Government officers escaped
on board some ships which happened to be in
port, and arrived safely in Suez. The Egyptian
Government is contemplating revenge, and is
sending fresh troops to the scene of action.
The following are the particulars of the ar
rest of William M. Tweed as furnished by
cable dispatch from Madrid, Spain 1t was
found, in July last, that Tweed was in Santiago

impending danger and sailed for Vigo Spain,
July 81 on board the sailing vessel Carmen.
lIr. Cushing thereupon notified the Spanish
Government of this fact, and found them will
ing to arrest Tweed and return him to Cuba,
or deliver him up to the American Consul.
Every precaution was taken by the Spanish
Government to secure Tweeds arrest in any
port of Spain OF on any coast line by which he
might arrive. Severe orders were given to local
authorities, especially those of Vigo and the
Galican coast. On Sept. the Carmen
hove in sight off Vigo, and was Immediately
boarded by the Governor of Pontevedra. The
Governor at once recognized Tweed from pho
tographs which he had hadin his possession for
some time previous to the arrival of the fugi-
tive Tweed was entered on the ships papers
under the name of Secor, aud was accompanied
by man giving his name as William Hunt,
who is said to be his nephew. Both were i'm
mediately secured and thrown into the Gala
bozo, under strong guard, but were subse-
quently transferred, by order, to fortress in
Vigo under command of the Captain General.
There are some uncomfortable experiences
connected with the operations of the Turkish
troops in Montenegro. The country is broken
and mountainous, and the streams not partcu-
larly adapted for fording. Naturally, the Mon
tenegrins are better acquainted than the Turks
with the topography of the ground over which
they are fighting, and have a tremendous adj
vantage, which they make the best use of in
this respect. The other day in general en-
gagement some battalions of Turks were cor
raled by large force of the mountaineers be-
tween two fords. neither of which were accessi-
bic, and we're driven at the bayonet's or saber's
point over precipice into a river, where
thousand or more of them were drowned
