CATTARO BOMBARDED BY SEA AND LAND. FORTS GRADUALLY BEING DESTROYED. (Received October 23, 1.30 a.m.) Cettinge, October 22. Nine forts about the Bay of Cattaro are being constantly breached by shells from the French guns placed on Mount Lorchen, and are gradually being destroyed. Only one fort has attempted to reply. The allies' fleet continues successfully to bombard the outer fortifications. The Servians repulsed the Austrian batteries, which retired. Not a scrap of bread was found in the Austrian knapsacks. Many contained cars of corn.
