NEWS OF THE WEEK.
rpHE news from the Herzegovina this week is rather more
favourable to the insurgents, though some of the accounts of their victories are clearly fabulous. It seems true, however, that the Bosnian priest Zarko is at the head of a body of insurgents who are better organised than most of their forces have been, and are achieving more success in the small way of which alone their resources admit. The Servian Parliament, however, has decided, by a majority of 71 to 44, to place confidence in Prince Milan and his Ministers, and this means, for the present, at all events—peace modified by active preparation for war, and constant pressure on Austria to urge substantial concessions. The German Government have published a curious wigging to the semi-official papers for the tone they have taken on this sub- ject, the significance of which we have discussed in another column.
