There is some confusion in our teegraphic dis.
patches relative to the great battle between the
Hungarians and the Russians. 1t is stated that
the battle took place at the defile of Rotherhum,
and that after its defeat the Russian army retreated
to Cracow. The pass of Roiherthum is short
distance from Hsrmanstadt, a town of Transyvla-
MIA, which province is situated in the Southeastern
part Of the Austrian do.ninions. Cracow lies on
the extreme Northern frontier Of Austria, and is
therefore far distant from the scene of operations.
II is scarcely possible that in the time intervening
between ,he battle and the date OF the letter giving
an account Of il, the Russian army could have
marched from Hermabs,adt to Cracow. In per-
forming that operation 1t would have to traverse
Hungary and Gallicia, which would be the ma
nGuvre ola victorious rather than of beaten army
There is no doubt that the battle has been fought
and the Russians defeated, but think it highly
improbable that they at or near Cracow 1t is |
possible the telegraph has given incorrect name.
