Cettiujc, Apr. 23.-A desperate at
Cack. lasting ~ hours, has resulted
in the Montenegrin troops forcing
their way into SCutari, which had
for six months offered a stubborn
resistance to the ouslaughts of the
besiegers.
The assault which gave the Mon
tenegrns the city which has been
the sole object of their war against
Turkey began Monday night, when
the Montenegrins took the offensive
along the entire battle front. They
completely surprised the defenders
and pushed their way forward to the
Turkish positions and engaged in
bayonet fighting.
The Turks made a number of
counter attacks, but We're unable to
dislodge the besiegers. 1t was mid
night last night when the Montene-
grins obtained a footing in Scutari
and the first detachments entered
the city at 4 o'clock.
According to one report .Eshaad
Pasha, the Turkish commander, rec
Ognized the uselessness of further re-
distance after the MOptenegrins had
captured Tarakcsch, and is said to
have ordered his troops to cease the
defense. Capitulations We're signed
shortly after the Montenegrns en-
tered the city.
