THE mONTENEGRIN CAMPAIGN

| Desperate Fighting i'm Duga Pass-Five
Days Hand TO Hand Fighting-Turks
Repulsed.
New YORK, June ia correspond ent at
Castel Nuova gives the following account of the
| fighting at Duga Pass:
After making his dispositions with great care
and Selling several important positions in front
| of Krystaz and at the immediate entrance of
| the pass, Sulieman Pacha advanced with his sew
| eral battalions and mountain artillery to force
the detile held by the MOntenegrins. The Turks
| sought by dnt of sheer fighting to seize the
bends of the road SO as to place their guns in q
position to support the advance of their COL
| umn.
For the first two days the Montenegrins slow
| ~ retired before the we'll de ployed Turkish
| line, until the narrowing ground and increasing
difficulties OF the road forced the Turks to re-
| duce their front. Then the concentrated fire of
| the Montenegrins, delivered from every rock
and gully of the rugged mountain slopes began
to tell with frightful effect on the Turks. Amid
| pefect hail storm of bullets the Turkish in
| fantry struggled onward, encumbering the road
| with dead and wounded at every STEP The
guns posted before Cola shelled the defile in
advance, but with little effect, as the Montene-
| grins were well covered, and suffered only when
the Turks desperately charged them amid the
| rocks and brushwood,
The fighting on the third day was almost
hand to hand, but although the Turks gained
| ground slowly, it was at terrible cost in men,
/ 4u6lI SupcTlUr uumU6IS 6udDleQ GQem 10 push
up supports to take the places of the slain, but
it seemed as if the head of the Turkish column
of attack was melting away as before furnace.
Notwithstanding the stubborn bravery of Sulie-
man Pacha's troops, the fourth days fighting
| found them No nearer the key of the pass, and
they had already lost nearly 5000 men. Still
they endeavored to maintain possession of the
ground they had gained at such fearful cost,
but that effort was hopeless; the hardy Mon
tenegrins repulsed every attempt to advance,
and it finally became question of covering the
retreat of the exhaused column. This was be-
gun by furious onslaught on the Montenegrins
by the troops furthest in advance, but it was
quickly repulsed by murderous fire. The re-
treat now became general, and the victorious
mountaineers speedily followed the retiring
Turks, killing immense numbers and re-occu-
plying the ground as the Turks abandoned it.
In this prolonged bloody combat, lasting over
five days. the Turks lost over 1000 men and a
quantity of arms was left on the field. The
Montenegrins lost ZOO men. The disproportion
in casualties is due partly to the natural
strength of the position and the necessary ex-
posure of the Turks during the attack and re-
treat.
| The failure of the Turks to force the Duga
l Pass is believed to insure the capitulation of
Nicscs within short time, but it is likely that
Sulieman Pacha may again attempt to relieve
the town.

Fire in q Coal Mine.

PoTTsvILLE, June 1.-THE propretors of
Middle Creek mines at fremont are much
alarmed at the discovery that the mines are on
fire and burning to a considerable depth. The
fire originated last Saturday by blast, which
ignited the gas. An explosion followed, doing
considerable damage to the walls, doors and
props. 1t is believed seven breasts or gang
ways are burning, and that the fire is making
rapid progress. A large stream has been
turned into the mine. No miners were hurt by
the EXPLOSION,
