There is little or no news from Bosnia and Herzegovina
this week. Since the occupation of Serajevo, the insurrection has flagged, and its leader, Hadjee Lodja, is now reported to have lost a foot. The Austrians, however, appear to expect further trouble, and heavy reinforcements are collecting on the Save, where, however, they stop, delayed by difficulties of cartage. The roads are inadequate to bear such masses of transport in rainy weather, though, be it observed, insurgents move readily enough. No Convention has been signed, ostensibly because the two Governments cannot agree about a term of the occupation, really because the Peace party in Constantinople is afraid to inform the War party openly that the two provinces are gone for ever. The commandants of the Turkish Regulars do not, however, now assist the insurrection, but surrender the towns peaceably. It should be noted that the Turks begin to accuse the Austrians, equally with the Russians, of atrocities, apparently in ignorance that as Austria does not threaten India, Austrian evidence will be taken into consideration in the West.
