Servia-Montenegro
THE AUSTRIAN DEBACLE. A WILD, DISORGANISED RETREAT. London, December 22. Belgrade was recaptured after a desperate struggle as, until they were demoralised, the Austrians put up a good fight. The fall of Toriak caused a general same qui pent and the multifarious races commenced fighting to decide who was to go first. The Austrians held the bridge, which had been thrown across the Save, to the last, man, enabling the retreat, though it was wild and disorganised, to continue. Eventually the Servians destroved the bridge, causing 150 officers and 10,000 men, 1000 horses and much material to fall into their haiuYs.
