The War in the Herzegovina: Risano, Dalmatia, 1876. Austrian seaport town '...from which the insurgents have...obtained supplies to carry on this struggle...The continuance of this fierce struggle of the insurgent Christian subjects of Turkey against their Mohammedan rulers, with the apparent failure of the peaceful intervention attempted by Austria and the other great Powers, now threatens a wider disturbance. The Turkish Government contemplates going to war against the half-independent principalities of Servia and Montenegro, to punish them for giving assistance to the revolt of Herzegovina'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
