The long defense Of Scutari under
Essad Pasha was made by an army
estimated at about 10.0o0 men who
also had to guard the outlying strong
hold Of Tarakosh. This they did SO
well that the Montenegrins could nof
make any impression uniI 4 few
weeks ago. when their servlan aIliez
brought up a large number Of heavy
siege guns which soon reduced the
fire of the Turkish artillery.
The Montenegrins are said to have
lost 5000 killed and The Turks 5.o0o
killed during the siege.
Nothing has yet been decided as to
the continuance 81 the blockade Il
the Montenegro coast which vas In
stituted on account Of the refusal of
the Montenegrins 70 abandon he
siege Of Scutari at the order Of me
powers. Only a few days ago an ul-
timatum wss sent 70 King Nseholas 81

Cettinje, Montenegro, April 23.-Af-
ter a final desperate attack lasting
"a hours the Montenegrin troops
forced their way into Scutari carry
this morning. The fortress for six
months had offered stubborn and
heroic defense.
The assault which gave the Monte
negrins possession Of the city, which
was the sole object Of their war
against Turkey began on Monday
night.
The Montenegrin army took the of
fensive along the entire frontier.
They completely surprised the Otto
man defenders by pushing right up to
the Turkish positions, where they
engaged in close bayonet fighting.
The Ottoman soldiers made a num-
Der OF counter-attacks and tried with
their utmost energy to drive the at
tackfng force oua-of their works. but
they were finally compelled to fall
back and leave their positions in the
hahds Of the besiegers, who received
constant reinforcements.
1t was midnight last night when the
Montenegrins obtained their footing
in the fortress and detachments of
the besiegers entered the city at 1
o'clock this morning.
According to one report, Essad Pas
ha. the Turkish commander-in-chief,
recognized the uselessness Of further
resistance after the outlying key po-
sition Of Tarakosh had fallen. He is
said then to have ordered his troops
to cease their defense Of the fortress.
Another report says that the Mon
teuegrin oommanderin-chief bad
been negotiating since Monday with

place ef1ll another account sage lba1

DISASTER.
MACHINERY GOES TO PIECES
ENGINEER, HOWEVER, BRAvELY
ATTEMPTS TO STOP THE
RUNAWAY CARS.

Butte, Mont, april %. Five miners
we're killed and nine injured in an
accident at the old shaft of the Leon
ard mine of the Anaconda Copper
company this morning. William Pet
ers lost control Of the hosting engine
as he was lowering two cages of men
into the mine. Both cages dropped to
the sump, one falling 2,2OO feet and
the other 800 feet. The engine went
to pieces, wrecking the engine house
and throwing pieces of iron and steel
hundreds of feet.
One piece of wreckage struck a
miner, killing him instantly. The
other men killed outright were on the
cage that dropped from the surface.
Their bodies mad not been recovered
up to noon.
None of the injured, 1t is believed,
will die. Peters, the engineer, who
stuck to his post as his engine was
wrecked, collapsed and his condition
is serious. He is unable to explain
the accident except to say that the
engine went to pieces.
More than 1900 feet Of cable fell
on the cage in the west compartment
and it may be many hours before the
bodies in that cage are recovered.

Thank you for your patriotic tele-

would be agreeable to you and the
legislature to have the secretary of
state visit Sacramento for the pur-
pose of counselling with you and the
members of the legislature and coop
Grating with you and them in franz
ing Of a law which would meet the
