sUI.EIMAH RETREATIso TO ALBANIA.
The HERALD correspondent at Seara re-
ports that Suleiman Pacha is retreating
toward the Albanian frontier having to
fight at every step he takes. The Monte
negrins line the hills on his TANKS and
hover in front and rear, firing perpetually.
charging wherever opportunity offers and
availing themselves Of every rock and ac-
cident Of ground to impede his progress.
They are ever on the watch and lose no
chance Of killing Turk or cutting off an
isolated detachment.
A DISASTROUS MARCH TO THE TURKS
attempt to render Suleiman's retreat some
what easier by a sortie, but the effect was
hardly perceptible. The Montenegrins are
well supplied with mountain artillery and
are admirable marksmen, and their power
OF enduring fatigue is marvellous. It il
admitted that this march Of Suleiman Pacha
is the most disastrous to the Turks of any
event recorded in the history Of their wars
with Montenegro
MONTENEGRO TENACITY.
Nothing could save the Turks in Monte
negro from absolute humiliation but their
overwhelming superiority ofnumbers They
are three to one against the Montenegrins,
but the latter are determined to fight to the
last man rather than yield to the hated
Moslem. The latest news is that desperate
fighting is at present proceeding on the
right bank Of the river Zeba.
