A Journey into the Herzegovina: Fate of a Turkish Spy, from a sketch by our special artist, 1876. '...the death of a spy who had ventured in disguise to get information for the Turkish Pasha among the insurgent troops of that wild highland country...The insurgents are resolved...to prevent the revictualling of the Turkish fortress of Niksics, a place of great military importance near the frontier of Montenegro. Prince Nikita, of Montenegro, seems resolved at length to enter openly into the war against Turkey, and his troops were ordered to prepare this week for a march into the Herzegovina...the Turkish demand of explanations from Servia appears to have met with a pacific reply...The war is...still confined to the Herzegovina and some districts of Bosnia'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
