The vaptain today found himself in a perilous position and unable to get out of the bay and he determined to run ashore. The beach was lined with spectators who were powerless to lend aid and who watched the v s- sel almost helpless in the grip of the wind and tide. Finally the steamer s nose was pointed inshore and she drove in under full steam, running deep into the sandy bottom. A life rope was rigged to one end of which the crowds ashore clung and one by one the crew left the vessel over which huge waves were break - ing. One of the men was carried off by a heavy comber.

London, Dec. 27 -The London Daily Telegraph's Belgrade corres- pondent sends the following: Great indignation has been caus- ed by the Turkish atack against the Servian troops at Alosso during the armistice on Decemb r 17. - An of- ficial mesage received today states that the Servianr. did not expect an attack, as for fifty tiles around no Turkish troops were known to have taken up positions It appears that the Turks at Seutari began to find their position untengble, th refore they resolved to make sudden attack, thereby hop: the bania and evidently having no know- ledge of the presence of Servian troops on the coast of the Adriatic. The Turkish attack was desper- ate. Furious fighting lasted all day, and continued. during the night when the Turks, badly beaten. te- tired in disorder under the protection of the forts under Scutari, Shall groups were dispersed through the mountains. zi The Servians lost 63 killed and wounded.
