Wairarapa Age MORNING DAILY. SATURDAY, APRIL 1, 1911. THE ALBANIAN RISING.
The cables during u\e last few days have conveyed information concerning the Turks and Albanians which would indicate a somewhat serious outlook. In some diplomatic quarters in Vienna, where Balkan developments are usually watched with discernment, disquieting opinions have (stated the Vienna correspondent or The Times on 10th February) recently been expressed upon the outlook in Turkey. . . . It is claimed with reason that any rumour of a Turkish reverse might affect, perhaps seriously, the outlook at Constantinople, in Macedonia, and in Albania. Leaving Constantinople out of account as incalculable, it is unfortunately true that the conduct of the disarmament operations in some parts ofAlbania and Macedonia last summer and autumn has created amongst most of the Bulgars, to some extent among the Greeks, and wholly among the Albanians, an almost desperate state of mind, and a thirst for revenge. Yet, if Turkish arms are uniformly successful in Asia Minor and Arabia, there will be little. likelihood of any serious outbreak in the near future. . . The Roman Catholic press of Austria has from time to time alluded to and pointed out the inevitable consequences of Young Turkish cruelties to Albanians' and Macedonians. Operations against the Albanians are about to be resumed on the Men i tenegrin frontier. Three battalions have been despatched from Seres to Scutari, for the purpose of suppressing disturbances that have broken out on the frontier. Quick-firing guns with ammunition and mules
have already reached San Giovanni di Medua. The rebel chieftain, Isa Boletin, is still among the refugees on Montenegrin soil, hut the chieftain Idris Sefer remains undisturbed near Preshovo. Despite the entreaties of the Kaimakam of Djakova, the refugees have refused to return to Albania. At Hoti an Albanian recently killed three Turkisn soldiers and an officer. A strong Albanian band attacked the railway station at Kumanova, and plundered three trucks containing the arms that had been collected in the district. The Kazas of Pristhnia and Ghilan re. cently bought 4000 Mausers from Servia.
