Readers have observed 10 the cable dis
patches notices of the Turkish operations
against Miridites. The Miridites are
Albanians, and Albania lies along the
Adriatic south and east OF Montenegro.
They form part of the Turkish Empire,
but tributary" to the sultan only in this
that.they are required to furnish ''con
tingent'' to the Turkish army in case of
war. The Miridites have refused to raise
the contingent for the impending war. and
the Turkish attack on them is to force
them into compliance. The territory OF
these Albanians, orlMiridites, extends 30U
miles along the Adriatic, and 100 miles
back into the country. The population Of the
province is about 100000, and is almost
wholly either Greek or Slav, Though Il
large portion of the population is Moham
medan in religion, they seem to sympathize
with the Monteuegrins rather than with
the Turks.
