King Makes Statement.
I'VE have merely retaken our own
and we will hold Scutari against the

against the Turks declared King
Nicholas Of Montenegro, in the midst
Of a popular demonstration.
Scutari was taken after long siege,
eliminating in two days Of desperate
hghting. The surrender of Essnd
Pasha, the Turkish commandment. was
announced after two hours Of hand-to.
hand fighting with bayonets. during
which both Montenegrins ard Turks
lost heavily.
Approximately 1000 Montenegrns
fell in the last assault on Scutari and
5000 Turks were killed. The victors
look 10000 prisoners.
Shortly after the formal surrender
Of Essad Pasha, King Nicholas Of Mon

George of Greece at Saloniki, achiev.

from the siege and the last assaults
were made by the soldiers Of King
Nicholas unaided.
For two days and nights. without
