CeneRrln spies watched the Iurklen a0-
vance, numbering 10000, under Ali Said,
from Podgoritza towards Nicsics. The
Montenegrlns chose strong position In a
defile hanked by heavy woods, and high
hills, with an intrenchment. The Turks
made four determined attacks, but were re-
pulsed. The Montenegrins waited till the
Turks advanced within 200 years, when
they poured deadly volley into the ene-
my's front, while the Montenegrin horse
men dashed full upon their tanks. Th
Turks halted and were attacked with the
bayonet, causing quick retreat. They
were pursued by the Montenegrins, who
killed the larger portion of the stragglers
they overlook. The retreat soon became
rout, and 1000 Turks were left dead
along the road.
