The war in Europe seems to be
virtually over, and no more heavy
fighting may be expected unless It.
will be In a last desperate effort to
keep the Russians out Of CONSTANT
nople.! During the last ten days the
Turks have lost heavily. At Schip-
la Pass the Russians captured 28,-
900 men, 1000 horses, 70 mortars,
10 siege guns and so field guns.
At Nisch theSeryians captured 5000
men, 80 cannon and IL, 600 rifles, and
on the 10th Antivari surrendered I'M
conditionally to the Montenegrins.
AT this ratio the Turks cannot hold
out much longer, and seeing this,
they have applied to Russia direct
for an arlnistice, which no doubt
will be granted.
