Rome, Aug. lS.-The first naval bat
tie OF the war. fought OF Antivarl
Montenegro, between French and Aus
trian squadrons, resulted In q decisive
victory for the French. Dispatches
from Cettinje state that four Austrian
warships were sunk. among them the
battleship zrinyi. and the remainder
lied TO the Austrian naval base at
Pola. The names of the other ships
that were sunk were not given.
The French admiral, the exact
strength OF whose command Is not
known here. but whose battleships
must have outnumbered the Austrian
heet. burst upon the enemy at dawn
Saturday, according TO the dispatch,
and poured In such deadly fire that
two OF the Austrian warships were
sinking within an hour.
The dispatch states that, although
outnumberod and outclassed In arma.
ment the Austrians fought their
ships with desperate courage and ro.
fused TO lower their oolors even when
sinking. The zrinyi, which is believed
TO have been the flagship OF the Aus.
trian squadron, was wrecked by tor.
pedo after an hours fighting, the re.
port says, and with the loss of their
largest ship the remainder OF the
squadron fed toward the Austrian ma.
val base at Pola pursued by the French
feet
The Austrian fleet apparently was
caught mapping of Antivari, which
they were bombarding. The French
fleet under Admiral de la Peyrere, &C.
! cording TO advices received here,
passed through the straits OF Otranto
more than week ago and evidently
waited until tho enemy was 30 busily
engaged In their program against the
Montenegrin port that they were not
suspecting an attack.
The report adds that the English
and French warships are now patrollng
the coast OF the Adriatic, which ia
taken TO indicate that possibly some
British ships aided the French fleet In
Saturdays action.
London, Aug. 18.-Oiiicial circles in
London have not received any con.
hrmation OF the reported naval sue.
cess over the Austrian warships In
the Adriat!c.
