VIENNA, August 81.
After a severe engagement the Austrians
occupied Serajevo yesterday. The official
report of General P~hillipovich shows that
the capture of Serajevo was tie result OF
the combined operations of his own force
and that Of General Tegethotf. General
T~egethotf occupied Vizaka on the 10Th, cap
turing a quantity of arms and ammuni-
ton. After an engagement, in which he
had 80 men wounded and five killed, he at
once advanced q considerable distance in
the direction Of Serajevo. On Monday
General Tcgethoff' 8 force formed an at
lacking column against the northern side
Of Serajevo, and opened a %cannonade
against the castle at 4:30 in the morning,
the insurgent artillery replying. Mean
while the force of Phillipoyich in two col
umns was favored by a fog, in effecting a
turning movement of the column directed
against the insurgents position on the
westward of Serajevo, and commenced the
attack at 7:30 o'clock, but the main coli
umn, driving the insurgents with difficulty
from their strong positions, only reached
its appointed post on the heights south of
the city at 1890, when tie insurgents
cannon were silenced and the Austrian in
fantry advanced in swarms. General Phil
lipovich says the fighting was of the most
horrible kind, and lasted until 1870. The
troops were fred upon from every door
way and window, even the women and sick
and wounded insurgents in the military
hospitals participated in incredible scenes
of the widest fanatieism. 1t was only ow-
ing to the good discipline of the troops
that the town was not more seriously dam
aged as it is, many houses are burned.
Our losses are large. The insurgents fed

PARIS, August FL.
Following are the propositions submit
ted to the Monetary Conference by the U,
s. delegates, and now under discussion
First-It is the oninior = - ,seer,b,,
tnat 1t Is not desirable that silver be OK,
cluded from free coinage in Europe and
the United States Oh the contrary, this
assembly believes it desirable that the un.
restricted coinage Of silver, and its use as
money Of unlimited legal tender should be
retained where they may exnarS as Jar a.
practica''e ~..u be restored where the,
have ceased &c exist. Second-The use O
both gold and silver as unlimited lega
tender money may be safely adopted first
by equalizing them at a valuation fixed b,
international agreement and, second, b,
granting to each metal, at the relation
fixed, equal terms Of coinage, making NJ
discrimination between them.
