Bloody Fights on Turkish Frontier.
Vienna, July 24. Albanian insurgents and Turkish regulars have had several encounters on the Turkish frontier. Many have been killed and wounded on both sides. It is reported that the Albanians cut off the heads of their prisoners and triumphantly carried them on poles through Albanian towns. It is also reported that the Turks massacred their prisoners.
The Albanian revolutionary committee had cabled a congress of Albanian delegates to Dulcigno, in Montenegro, to decide as to future action.
A band of marauding Bulgarians near Ghevgheli, entrenched in a farmhouse, were stormed by Turkish troops, and killed to a man.
