VIENNA, Oct. l5.--Advices have
just been received from here telling of
a fierce battle that was waged between
a considerable force of insurgents and
large party of Turkish troops in the
Peristeri mountains, which are in Mace
donia.
The battle lasted for a whole day,
the opposing sides being ensconsed in
the thickets on the mountain sides. 1t
is said that the insurgents lost 10 killed,
while probably a hundred more were
wounded. The Turks are also said to
have lost very heavily during the en-.
gagement.
At the result of the clash a victory
was not claimed by either side, both
the Turks and the insurgents falling
back and maneuvering for new posi-.
tons.
1t is again reported that General Sar-
toff has been killed, but the report has
not as yet been authenticated.
