Advance on Scutari Halted.

On the other side of Novipa Ear. near
the Montenegrin frontier, both the
Turks and the Montenegrins claim sue
cesses in slight skirmishes. The aIon-
tenegrins. however. have advanced no
farther toward Scutari.
The Greek army is resting after its
capture of the Turkish town of Eiasssona
and preparing for the more strenuous
task OF attacking the Turkish army OF
4uWW men concentrated at the town of
Servia little to the north. The Greeks
are said to be $1,000 strong.
The grimmest fighting of the war is
likely to occur out of sight Of the main
armies. as about 1000 Albanians are
arming and Greek and Bulgarian bands
have taken to the hills, where they will
engage in guerrilla warfare.
The navies of Greece and Turkey ap-
pear thus far to have contented them
selves with blockading operations.

Rather Restless Night.

The colonels last night at the hospital
was rather a restless one. He slept only
about four hours in the aggregate from
the time he first fell asleep. at 11:15 pm.
He awoke frequently and he seemed
nervous. 1t was said by Night Nurse
Fitzgerald that this was chiefly due to
thu excitement of his coming departure
and not to any untoward symptoms that
had developed in the course Of the night.
When he was ready to depart the
colonel said lie was feeling well, but
that because of his restlessness durine,
the night he was somewhat sleepy and
hoped he would be able to get some rest
after he had reached his berth on tho
train. He was cheerful and expressed
