Cetinje, Aug. 17.
The Christians have risen in the Turkish district of Berane; they have seized two villages and plundered the town. The Turkish troops replied by cannonading the Christian villages. The Christians thereupon attacked and razed to the ground three Turkish blockhouses on the Montenegrin border. Fighting is taking place near Berane both by day and night and heavy casualties are reported to have been sustained.
The Turks threaten to exterminate the whole of the Servian Christian population in the district where the revolt has occurred.
. The population of Berane is about 1,000.—Ed.
