REPORT OF GENERAL VON GAELENZ,
VIENNA, FEB. 15.

The following is an extract from a report by
General von Gablenz, commanding the Austrian
troops in Schleswig. The report is dated :
"Austrian Headquarters, Froerup, Feb. 10.

"After the engagement at Oversee upon the 6th,
and the exhaustive marches attendant upon the
pursuit to Flensburg, in the most trying season of
the year, it became necessary to grant the troops a
few days of rest, and to bring them under shelter
after several days of bivouac.
" The Prussian Guards division was to advance
towards Apenrade on the 9th, at the same time
occupying Gavenstein, to reconnoitre Duppel from
that point. The quarters in Flensburg, vacated by
this movement, will be occupied by troops of the
6th Corps.

"Since the last engagements the public feeling
in Schleswig is enthusiastic for Austria and the
Imperial army. It was intended by the inhabitants
of Flensburg to prepare a festive reception for the
Austrian troops.

" Seven waggons were sent from Kiel with re-
freshments fur the Imperial troops and the head-
quarters, and supplies were also forwarded to the
headquarters by the Hamburgers.
" The rural population, in spite of its apparent
phlegmatic apathy, is willing to give assistance.
The peasants were especially kind to the numbers
of wounded, who were at first necessarily left without
sufficient aid, as the medical establishment and field
hospitals, left behind in the positions before the D an-
newerke, were unable to follow the extraordinarily
rapid advance of the troops with the requisite speed.
The wounded are now partly under careful treat-
ment in Newmiinster, partly in Rendsburg and
Schleswig. In the latter town the establishments
have been given into the care of civilians. Professor
Esmarch, of the Kiel University, with all the sur-
geons of that institution, hastened to Schleswig,
and undertook the surgical treatment of the sufferers
with as much readiness as skill. Saxon surgeons
havo also arrived from Rendsburg, where 15 of
their number had volunteered for service in the
hospitals. The superintending staf•surgeon of the
army corps has further made arrangements for the
engagement of civilian hospital nurses, and the
arrival of field-hospital No. 12 is daily expected in
Schleswig.
" The spirit of the troops, in spite of all their
hardships, remains excellent. The men bear fatigue
cheerfully and without a murmur, and look forward
to the coming engagement with courage and hope.
They have shown themselves, without exception,
worthy of the confidence placed in them.

"After the engagement at Oversee, the com-
mander of the corps remarked touching instances of
military comradeship. 'He met imperial soldiers
carrying a wounded Dane, while a few steps further
on were encountered Danish prisoners carrying
wounded Austrians.

"Snow has fallen incessantly for the last three
days, and it is to be apprehended that the commu-
nication, already greatly obstructed, will be entirely
interrupted in places by the heavy drifts."
