Hero they were net by a few Montenegria sol- diers under command of an officer, who opposed further advance and forced them to retire to the other side of the frontier. The Austrians again tried to enter Montenegrin territory, but the inhab- itants of the principality became threatening and forced them again do retreat. This action is calculated to irritate the Montenegrin Government, which is desirous of preventing any conflict or complication, awaiting the meeting of the European conference.
