Not Permit invasion of
SerVia's Territory.

Vienna, July 27.-Dispatches re-
ceived here late Sunday night say that
the first encounter between Austria
and Servia has occurred near Semen.
dria, on the Danube, twenty-four miles
southeast of Belgrade. Vessels con-
veying Austrian infantry were fired on
from the Servian side of the Danube
and returned the fire.
According to advices from Kraguy.
aratZ, Servia, Crown Prince Alexan-
der, acting as regent, has ordered a
general mobilization of the Servian
army and summoned the skupschtina
to meet on Monday in the old fortified
capital city of Nish, 100 miles south
east of Belgrade.
No formal declaration of war has
been issued, and it is believed none
will be, since Servia never subscribed
to The Hague convention. The send
ing of his passports to the Servian
minister, M. Jovanovitch by the Aus
trian foreign office, however, is deem.
ed equivalent to declaration of war.
Proclamations have been posted or
dering partial mobilization. The Aus
tro-Hungarian bank has raised the
bank rate from to per cent, and the
committee of the bourse has decided
to close the bourse on Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday. The committee
explains that its decision was actu-
ated by regard for public interests, to
prevent an unwarranted disturbance
of industrial interests and to counter
act disquieting reports.
Austrian Envoy Returns.
Baron Giesl Won Gieslingen, the Aus
tro-Hungarian minister to Servia, ar
rived here on Sunday.
The imperial decree issued on Sat

lions or movements can be suppressed.
