End of TiresOme Balkan War
Appears Close at Hand
With the Surrender
of Scutari
5000 MONTENEGRINS AND
5000 TURKS ARE KILLED
Turkish Commander Held Up
as Hero as Reward of
Long Siege

CETTINJE, April 23.--Scutari has
fallen. Montenegrin troops today are
.n full possession OF the last OF the
Ottoman strongholds in European Tur
key. In triumph the victors entered
the city early today, with tattered
hass flying, and when they did. they
bade defiance TO all the powers OF
Europe.
I'VE have merely re-taken our own,
and we will hold Scutari against the
Iowers as courageously as we fought
against the Turks" declared King
Nicholas. OF Montenegro, in the midst
% ar almost delerious popular demon
stration.
Scutari was Ken after long
siege, eliminating in two days OF the
most desperate fighting OF modern
times The surrender Of Essad Pasha,
Turkish 'commandant, was announced
after two hours of hand-to-hand fight
ing with bayonets, during which both
Montenegrins and Turks lost heavily.
Approximately 5000 Montenegrins
fell in the last assault on Scutarf and
5000 Turks were killed. The victors
took 10000 prisoners.
Shortly after the formal surrender
OF Essad Pasha, King Nicholas, OF
Montenegro. triumphantly rode into
the fallen city. emulating Car Ferdi-
nand at Adrianople and the late King
George, of Greece. at Salonika, achiev-
ing his cherished ambition.
The taking OF Scutari by the Mon
tenegrins was one OF the Nost bril-
liant achievements of th\N seven
months Balkan war. The cN>dit for
the feat belongs almost whGvy to
dontenegro. Servia helped the
Montegrins for awhile, and II was the
Eervian artillery that first weakened
She Turkish fortified city. But the
servians, when the powers became
menacing. withdrew from the siege.
and the last assaults were made by
,he soldiers Of King Nicholas un-
aided.
Bombardment Lasts 48 Hours.
For two days and nights. without
rest. the Montenegrins bombarded
Scutari. and late yesterday they made
desperate assault nthat city All
Int two OF the outer works or the

Essad Pashas men weary as they

less made valiant defense, and rushed
forward 10 meet the oncoming Monte
negrins.
The artillery of both armies was
