LONDON, June l0.-A correspondent
At the Montenegrin headquarters says:
The report that a provision train was
captured at Trebinje is uniounded. The
fortress WAS revictualled after tour hours
fighting. This success enables SULLIVAN
Pashs to concentrate his force for al
attack on General Vukovick's position in
Dugs pass. The Montenegrin army will
be concentrated TO meet him and the
battle will be decisive of the tate of Mic
sizes. 1t is thought probable that Suli.
man, though losing heavily, will pene'
lrate to Ni,-ics. If he should be de-
fes.ed his army will extricste itself with
difficulty, and wi, risk total destruction.
