Turks Preparing to Invade Montenegro.
By Associated Press.

LONDON, Sept. 5.—The 'Times' Vienna special says the Turks are preparing to invade Montenegro from the northwest and southeast.

Simultaneously Mukhtar Pasha has already entered Montenegrin territory by way of Klobuk, burned the villages of Zastafas, and is now encamped at Grabsua. Five Montenegrin battalions are opposed to him, but have not ventured to attack yet, and all the Montenegrin force in Herzegovina are hastening toward Grahova. Dervish Pasha's army on the southwest is not yet reported in motion, but its mere presence there is sufficient to keep Prince Nicholas and a Montenegrin army of ten thousand men from moving against Mukhtar Pasha.

The military situation therefore is greatly in favor of the Turks.
