NEWS OF THE WEEK.
THE news from Albania is still extremely conflicting, but there is no doubt of the seriousness of the rising. In a message published on Thursday the Constantinople corre- spondent of the Times said that the Turkish attempt to relieve Tuzi had been only partially successful. One battalion had been ambushed on the road and had lost over a hundred men. At the time of telegraphing it was thought that Tuzi would have to be evacuated. It is said that reinforcements are being shipped in haste direct from Asia Minor to Albania. Heavy fighting is reported round Skutari.. It is not yet certain whether Torgut Shevket Pasha will take the field per- sonally against the insurgents. Meanwhile the revolt in the Yemen, which may at any time react violently on the Albanian affair, appears to be in a state of revival. The cor- respondent says the news has reached Constantinople that the Imam Yahya is again advancing on Sanaa. We have discussed the critical nature of these events elsewhere.
