London, 21, The Times this morning morn-ing publishes a letter from Vienna, which contains Bome interesting de-tallsof de-tallsof the insurrection in Northern Besnia, and ol the fugitives who havo taken refuge in Austria. It says the cause of the sudden lailure of the movement is attributed to the fact that the insurgents were not prepared, pre-pared, were without arms and ammunition, ammu-nition, and that many villages remained re-mained passive. Two Austrian commissioners have been sent to ascertain as-certain Irom the refugees the causes of the insurrection. The latter Btate that the Turks, fearing that the Her-zegovian Her-zegovian insurrection would spread to Bosnia, arrested the elders of the villages and Boine of the most influential influen-tial men under pretext that they were accomplices of the brigands. Thirty were thus arrested in one village, and were only released upon payment of a large sum. Upon tue threatened repetition of these outrages the villagers vil-lagers lied to the mountains with their families and flocks, and prepared pre-pared to resist. The rising assumed the character of retaliation up to a date as recent as the 8th of August, but the next day the insurgents fled in consequence of the mass of emigration emi-gration which had set in. The fugitives fugi-tives disclaim any connection with ithe Herzegovinian insurgents, and declare they never Bhould have thought of rising if they had not been provoked. I |
