New York Times 100 years ago today, November 19, 1912:
People Will Oppose Servian Occupation, It Is Said.
By Marconi Transatlantic Wireless Telegraph to The New York Times.
Dispatch to The London Daily Telegraph.
DURAZZO, Nov. 18, (by Wireless via Castelnuova, Dalmatia.)— As there is no land telegraph here, I am sending this marconigram through the Austrian Lloyd steamer Graf Wurmbrand, which is now lying in the harbor ready to remove the Christian population in case certain contingencies arise.
At this moment nothing is known of the advance of the Servians upon Durazzo. The Servians are certainly not within 100 kilometers of the town. The Mussulman population, nevertheless, are anxious, for they are totally ignorant of the cause of hostilities, and the people are determined to oppose a Servian occupation. They demand Albanian independence. Otherwise there will be continual trouble.
The Montenegrins have occupied San Giovanni di Medua. Scutari is surrounded.
