ARRIVAL OF PRISONERS FROM WORTH SOME
DETAILS OF THE BATTLE.
lPRoM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT
BERLIN, Aug. 9.-Another batch of 60 French
prisoners through Berlin Sunday night their
way to Grandeur. 1t appears that have already
to expect 1000 The official numbers as usualwere
considerably behind the truth. The distribution OF
the French prisoners our fortresses goes
on in this way that those who are first
taken are brought further east. In the
fortresses they are in safe keeping of the Land
wehr and may even accompany such Landwehr men, or
get leave for helping to bring in the harvest in the
neighborhOOd. We extremely startled that at Worth
"a WeissenbuTg at FOrbach such considerable num-
bers of French officers have been taken prisoners with
out being wounded. The French, very certainly,
never will see Prussian officer surrendering his
sword without being wounded. Noblesse oblge-
and then how the man in rank and file be expected
TO resist the best of his abilities If his officer does not
set him the example. The resistance may, tactcaly,
have become quite superiuous morally, it has not The
hundred than hundred officers taken prisoners at
Worth without being wounded tell the whole German
people that the war is virtually over.
Part of the French fleet was seen yesterday on Ros-
tock part off Kc 1t is very strange that yet no at
tack attempted The conclusion here is that the
French waiting for some as yet occult support, and
the Danes consequently watched with growing sus
picion The Danish newspapers in Northern Schleswig
have suppressed, and two Danish clubs at Fens
burg Enigheden and Broederen have been closed.
Details from the three sanguinary engagements at
weissenburg at WORTH and at FOrbach now come in in
abundance Everywhere the number Of killed and
wounded on bohdes has been great The Prussians and
other German troops have already lost many
fe on the Prussan side K0nggratz The most arduous
feat OF all taking the town OF Weissensurg,
where the Germans had to wade through ditch filed
with water and then force their way through the
windows the houses The practice highly cultivated
py the French of ntrenchng themselves in villages and
nv sold as "A
committed against the non-belligeren part of the peo
pie, and unfair fighting This feeling is so strong
that our Generals avoid resOrtng TO this practice
much as they How soldiers are exasperated by
It, and how little they expect it, proved for instance
In the Austrian war; at the weknown affair at Fraute
nsu When they had forced their way weissenburg
the first hand-tohsnd fight in this war took place.
We have a lot Of men here who were engaged In
it-Slesians mostly, and some Western Prussans, not
much heavier and taller than the French. They all
praise the bravery of the French but they unanimously
and of their disadvantage relate that the
French bayonet fighting is all sham. They have re-
eeiyed no bayonet wound whatsoever and have mostly
knocked down the French, after having disarmed
them with thet6st The most proongedstruggle was in
the cave, which mentioned yesterday. The men who
forced their way into this have been freed from all
further service in this war; reward for having saved
the lives OF very many their comrades which the con-
tinued fire from this would have killed.
French soldier would have taken this for no re-
ward but a Prussian does. The Frenchmen whom they
killed in this cave almost all killed by blows and
kicks or being trangled with the bare hands The
remainder were the prisoners who passed Sat
uriay Most Of the Turcos have likewise been
taken prisoners with the bare hands. They
Welded far more easily than the native French,
and were quite powerless in the hands Of their
captnrers who made 1t point OF honor perhaps even
az forethoueh individually to catch live Turoo They
were unite right; the capturers Of the first ten Turcos

,rther service during the war They had done their
duty.
