Montenegrins In San Giovanni.

New York Times 100 years ago today, November 18, 1912:
Strong Division Occupies Town Which Servians Hoped to Gain.
    RIEKA, Montenegro, Nov. 17.— A strong Montenegrin division, after severe fighting, has succeeded in occupying the port of San Giovanni di Medua as well as all contiguous territory.
    In taking possession of this seacoast town of Albania the forces of King Nicholas have apparently anticipated the project of the Servians, who have been reported to be moving to seize both Durazzo and San Giovanni di Medua.
    Before taking the port the Montenegrins, under command of Gen. Martinovich, encountered stubborn resistance from 3,000 Turks, who occupied the slopes of Mount Barbalusche, near the Drin River. The fire of the Montenegrin artillery, however, proved too much for the Turks, and they finally abandoned their positions, thereby opening up the way to the port.
