BELGRADE, August 16. = The
Turks have reached Jablanitza.
The Servian Colonel Autitite is
gathering strength to defend Kurz-
ratz, from which place roads leave
to Kragergeratz, Falleto and Krag-
ucr,ltz. The fall of this place
would open Morava valley to the
south of General Ichemieff's posi-
ton, which would thus be turned.
LONDON, August GA dispatch
from Belgrade says, that while war
preparations continue actively, and
while even the peace party consider
any fate preferable to the desposi
ton of Prince Milan and the an
nexation of any part of Servia TO
Turkey, or even a period Of Turk
ish rule here, at the same time a de-
preston Of spirits and a desire for
peace among the moderate party
and Seryian people generally,
make an intervention of the
powers to be most anxiously
looked for in the hope that it would
bring peace without any of the
above conditions, which it is feared
the Turks desire to impose. Rather
than accept any one of these the
moderate party will support the
government to continue the strug-
gle until Ser,,a conquers or cannot
fight longer. They say the deposit
ton of Prince Milan would occasion
a dynastic civil war which would
retard the progress of the country
years. AS for Turkish rule here
the foremost men of SerYia, and
even opponents Of the war, say it
is better that all the Sci gianS per-
! ish in the struggle than submit to
that. 1t is evident that if interyen-
ton of the powers does not bring
| peace that no arrangement between
!. the belligerents themselves is at all
likely to.
