City of Scutari This
Morning

the Chief Ambition Of
Montenegro

Cettinje, April 23.-After final des'

come the Turkish resistance, Montene-
grin troops forced their way into the
fortress of Scutari, which for over six
months Offered stubborn defense.
The assault that gave the Montene-
grins possession of the city, which has
been the sole object of their war against
Turkey, began Monday night. The Mon
tenegrin army took the offensive along
the entire front and completely sur
prised the Ottoman defenders by push
ing right up to the Turkish positions,
where they engaged in close bayonet
fighting against the Turkish garrison.
The Ottoman soldiers made a num-
Der OF counter attacks and tried with
the utmost energy to drive the attack
ing force out of the works, but finally
were compelled to fall back and leave
their positions in the hands OF the be-
siegers. 1t was midnight last night
when the Montenegrins obtained their
footing in the fortress and detachments
entered the city at 4 o'clock this morn
ing.
Although the Servian troops did not
participate in the final attack, their ar
tillery was used by the Montenegro
gunners, and it is said that to this fact
The success is largely due.
The act OF eapitulation was signed
by the Turkish commander, Essaad
Pasha, shortly after the Montenegro
troops reached the center of the city.

hey would ask about mother too. So
told the neighbors that mother had
