ALBANIAN TROUBLE.
BURNING AND KILLING. Constantinople, June 24. Torgut Skevat Pasha reports that the Malissori have begun to surrender, and the situation is improved. Vienna, June 24. The situation in Albania is threatening. It is stated that Torgut, under the semblance of offering an amnesty and an armistice, is gathering his forces in readiness to deliver a crushing blow. He has already violated the armistice, and is now destroying the fruit trees and vines, and killing sheep and cattle, hoping thereby to compel the Malissori, after the declaration of peace, to emigrate or die of hunger. The intention is to colonise the country with Mussulman immigrants.
The newspapers declare that unless the Powers promptly intervene for the protection of the Christian race, Macedonia will shortly bo transformed into a shambles.
