A sensation was caused at Skodra through the town criers, in .mistake, proclaiming a Holy War against the Albanian Christians. Shops are being closed, and the position is inflammable.

Shereket Pasha, the Turkish Minister of War, in a speech, declared that_an independent Albania could not exist without Turkey, whilst the Turks also realised that they could not remain in Europe without 1 the support of the Albanians. The murderer of Captain Schlichting, the German instructor. to the Turkish army, has been sentenced to death,, and will be executed forthwith.
