16 OCTOBER 1875, Page 2

Nothing of importance has been reported this week from the

Herzegovina, where neither Turks nor insurgents obtain any serious success. The insurgents, however, are said to be deter- mined to keep up the struggle all the winter, though they no longer hope for official aid from Servia. The effect of the insurrection upon politics there has been to make Prince Milano almost absolute, the Skuptschina having proclaimed their personal devotion to him and his House. His latest act has been to send the militia home, and withdraw his troops from the frontier, the Turks on their side also withdrawing their corps d'armie from its

somewhat menacing position. The insurgents have no allies left except the Montenegrins, and a few Italians belonging to the cosmopolitan army of Revolution.
