BOSNIA INVADED
BY MONTENEGRO

London, Aug. 1S.-A dispatch from
Rome TO the Exchange Telegraph COM
pany says the Montenegrin troops
have crossed the Bosnian frontier and
occupied the town of Tschainitza after
a battle.
The dispatch adds that the Montene-
grins have captured eight Austrian
blockhouses in Herzegovina, between
Bilek and Trebinje. They have occu-
pied seven villages near Trebinje and
have taken twelve Austrian officers
prisoners.
In a dispatch from Cettinje, Mont
enegro, the correspondent of Reuters
News Agency says Montenegrin forces
have been engaged for the last two
days with a strong detachment of Aus
trian troops in the neighborhood of
Grahavo. The Montenegrin casualties
in dead and wounded were forty-five.
On Aug. 16 the Austrians attacked
the western frontier OF Montenegro
from Krivosije to Grahavo; at the
same time Austrian vessels bombarded
the Montenegrin position at Lovcen.
