RETREAT OF THE RII&SIANS IN CENTRALO

ASIA.

Before beginning his march into the steppe General
lemakin, it a collected three thoumnd camels neer
the wells of urn , Kabil. and Sulmen, about forty
unite north-east from Krunovodak.

The Tekke Turcomane having closely watched the
proceedings of their enemy, on April 15 attacked Barna,
defeated the Russian guard, consisting of nearly two
thousand men, and captured a large number of camels,
which they carried away with them. Pursuit being made
by reinforcements immediately sent from Kresnovodsk,
the Tekke. whose march was impeded by the captured
animals, were overtaken, and forced to confront the
Russians.

And now happened an event which forms • period in
the history of Central Asiatic warfare. Instead of having
recourse to their usual tactics of dispersing the camels and
attacking the Ruseians in loose order, the Tekke dis-
mounted, occupied a strong position half-way up a hill
side, and making the camels kneel down in front, fired
from behind this living wall with the steadiness and
rapidity of European sharpshooters
The encounter lasted till night, when the Tekke as well
as the Russians retreated in opposite directions. The
Tekke, leaving a dozen dead and some forty camels on the
spot, marched east, carrying the rest of their booty with
them; the Russians, having buried their dead, retraced
their steps to the wesSfinding it too dangerous to follow
an eei whose strength had suddenly so very much
increased.
Obviously the Tureomans, for the first time in their
history, were armed with modern weapons, or they could
not have resisted the Russian onslaught This changes
the aspect of Asiatic affairs If any large number of
Turcomans are armed with breechloadlng sines, the
Russians, to fight them, will require brigades where
battalions have sufficed so long But brigades ace not
easily moved and provisioned in Central
In the present instance the resistance made by the
Tekke seems to have forted the Russians to abandon all
hope of penetrating into the interior until strong reinforce-
ments can be sent across the Caspian San
