RUSSIAN RE-ENFOBCEMENT 0OIN0
TO THE sERVTAY ARMY.


Tho Turkish Forces Concentrating on the
Left Bank oftho M orava md Attacking the
servinn Positions-AG General Engagement.
LONDON, Sept. 2.-From the conflicting
statements contained In the servian oflcial bull
letins and the dispatches from special corre-
spondents, II seems probable the Turks volun-
tarily abandoned the right bank Of the Morava
and took new positions on'the left bank. The
battles reported from Belgrade are either wholly
fabricated or grossly exaggerated.
A despatch from Raeusa saysi "A represen-
tative OF the British Embassy at Vienna. accom-
panied by the Turkish Consul here, has been
to Moukhtar Pasha's camp at Trebinje. carrying
him dispatches from Sir Andrew Buchanan,
the British Ambassador at Vienna"
A special espatch from Belgrade TO the Ttrno
broadly intmates that the Servian soldiers
shoot their Russian officers. This Is hnted at
In previous despatch from the same corre-
spondent.
Tho special correspondent OF the DdQy Tcte-
graph at Belgrade says "Fresh arrivals Of Rus
Sian resnforcements continue to reach us and
TO pass on to the front. Fifty Russian officers
came last night, and forty others, with thirty
Cossacks, to-day. This contingent certainly In
Guard, and l learn on good authority that IA
OF their comrades have leave Of absence for Ser
via. Already there are more than 100 Russians
at the front, mostly officers. The presence OF
these auxiaries has completely changed the
aspect OF the servian cause. The Russian OH
oere themselves declare they have saved Servia.
II Is said that they drive the Servians to battle
when necessary-as notoriously 1t often is-wlth
remorsecssly."
A despatch from Belgrade says that the Turks
concentrated on the left bank Of the Moraya at
Adrovatz, and on the heights near Teschntza,
Yesterday began an attack on the Servan posi-
lions. The engagement became general bet ween
Adroyatz ana Jedcovatz, and continued until IL
Siock last night. Both Sides maintained their
positions. The battle was resumed to-day, but
the result is unknown. Prince Milan will leave

1he editor OF the semi -officlal newspaper Istok
mas received numerous letters from the Perma-
nent Committee OF the Skuptschina, tire munI-
cipalities OF Belgrade. and provincial al towns and
IRON mercantile corporations, thanking him for
nuvocatinx continuance Of the war. The letter
from the Skuptscbina Committee was signed by
all the members.
Montenegrins upon Dilek was only a ruse. Ii
ls stated that tho Turkish commander, Moukh-
Tar Pashs, succeeded In reviotualling Bllek and
ceeded to-day with 1000 men TO Barlani.
