THE RECAPTURE OF BELGRADE.
SERVIANS’ GREAT CAPTURE.
United Prkbd Association. (Received 8.45 a.m.)
London, December 22
‘ Belgrade was recaptured after a desperate struggle. Until the demoralised Austrians put up a good fight, the fall of Torlak caused a general sauve-qui-peut (panic). Members of multifarious races commenced fighting to decide who should go first. The Austrians held a bridge which was thrown across the San to the last man, enabling the retreat, though wild and disorganised, to continue. Eventually the Servians destroyed the bridge, causing one hundred and fifty officers, 10,000 men, 1000 horses, and much material to fall into their hands.
