Retreat of the Servians
Firing Their Villages as They Go
Russian Excitement 1ntenss.
T.oNpaN AuuuSf -

LONDON, August z;
Late telegraph advices received
here state that the Servirn Gener-
al Harvatovitch ascribes the evac-
uation of Gurgusovatz to the su-
pcrior numbers of the enemy A
later dispatch to Reuters Tele-
gram Company says Gurgusovatz
is in flames, and the Turks are
BURNING and destroying every
thing in thsir way, 1t is said that
the Servian General Tchnaryeff is
daily Losing popularity. The ru-
mors Of political arrests in Bel
grade are unfounded. The Stand
ards Vienna dispatch asserts that
the Servians and not the Turks
fred Gurgusovatz. AS the Turk
ish troops march into the interioa
the villages are deserted by their
inhabitants. The Servlans lost B.
600 men at Gurgusovatz. Rein-
forcements sent them by Tchera-
yeff, consisting of four battilions
of MALTA and ,threet ofvolunteers,
arrived too late, and were cut to
pieces. two thousands men killed.
Accounts agree that the Russian
governments making the utmost
exerlions to spread tevcrish feel
ing among the Russians in behalf
ofScrvia. The Russian troops in
Bessarabia ARE constantly receiv-
ingreiuforsements. Largr purchas-
csof armshavebeen madefor Servia
in Berlin, for which Roumainiu
promises liberty of transit through
her territory.
The new Roumanian Ministry
means war or a neutrality favor
able to the Servians. Tie Porte
has automatically limited abroad
that it is willing to make peace if
Servia and Montenegro jointly ask
for it and will allow the Turks to
garrison certain places in Servia.
1t is reported that, in consequence
of the defeat at Gurgusovatz,
Prime Milan has asked for the
mediation ofthc European powers.
General Lescbianin was routed
and has been forced to abandon
Saitschar. Osman PaSha is marh-
ing to Chupria, from which point
the road is open to Belgrade.
General Tadijeff is to replace Gen
eral Tchernayeif. Russian volun-
teers are arriving to rescue Servia.
A meeting eff the diplomatic corps
was held on Sunday in Belgrade.
1t was resolved that Russian and
English delegates be sent to Prince
Milan to advise him to accept an
armistice, with the object of per-
mitting European mediation
Despair reigns in Belgrade, The
foreign Consul are removing their
archives to places of safety, The
richer families are leaving the town.
The London Times declares that
the fall of Gurgusovatz decides the
fate of Timok valley, between Cur
gusovatz and Saitschar, and makes
the capture of the latter place in
evitabie. Preparations are max
ing for the complete abandonment
Of Saitschar. The families have
been ordered to the interior.

THE UNITED STATES AND SPAIN
The correspondence between the United
States and Spain, arising out of the
Cuban question, was transmitted by
the President to the House of Repre-
sentatives yesterday. The text of the
correspondence shows that the United
States has been very firm and persistent
throughout the entire controversy, and
that during the last few months de-
mand has been made upor Spain for
n compliance with the terms of the Vir-
ginius protocol. Secretary Fish in his
very last note to Minister Gushing
states that the delay of Spain has been
$" great that it is almost beyond en-
durance, and urges upon Mr. Gushing
the necessity of the trial of Burriel.-
This delay and the neglect of Spain
to comply with the protocol, Mr.. Fish
says. is causing great injury to both
countries. The last dispatch from Mr..
Gushing is not given in full in the CON-
munication, but the extract which is
given SAYS: ''Note from the Madrid
Cabinet received. Is contains assur.
ance of the trial of Burriel."

the parliamentary success of ex.Speak-
er Bl.ine. Sixth, several Legislative
measures of great Importance have
been introduced ia the House by Dem.
ocrats. and several more are preparing
in committee rooms. The principal bill
Of national concern which has been
brought to the attention of the House
is the one fathered by Mr.. Payne, of
Ohio, which steps directly onward
towards Specie Payments by securing
an accumulation of gold at the yearly
rate of per cent. by the Government
on the amount Of legal tenders, and bv
the banks on the amount Of national
bank currency, and winch also repeals
Sherman's sham Resumption act. BY
these simple processes this bill proposes
to accumulate gold in the Treasury at
the rate of about s35. 100000 year.
Seventh, preliminary moves for the re.
trenchment of national expenditures
have been made by Democrats, aud
sanctioned by the House. Every stand
ing committee has been instructed by
the House to inquire into and report
upon the expenses and expenditures of
every department of the Government.
The War Department, the Navy De-
rartment, the Department of the Inte
rior and its adjuncts, the Postoffice De-
partment, the Printing Bureau-these
and all the Test are to render their ac.
counts for the first time in years to
the peoples representatives, and that
through the regular committees of the
House, without the expense of special
committees. To Mr.. Kerr is due the
credit of thus squirting the regular CON-
mittees to their work, and rendering the
appointments of special investigating
committees needless. 't

In the contested election case Of Lynch
IS. Lawrence, little Roadway seems to
have been made since our last report.
Both parties bave been heard bycoun-
sci before the election committee and
we print the following synopsis Of the
debate, promising that Mr.. Henry Ais
quith appeared on behalf of DR.. Lynch
and Col. Crane on behalf of Capt. Law
renee.
Mr. Aisquith said that their case res
ted upon the question of fact that the
recount showed that DIR. Lynch had
been elected by FIVE votes.
Mr.. Crane made argument against the
legality of the recount, hut held that,
even admitting its legality, the differ
ence between the result of the recount
and the returns of the Judges of Elec-
ton had arisen becarse in making
the recount ballots had been counted
for Lynch which the Return Judges
had, after careful consideration, given
to Lawrence. He also stated that there
were four men who would have voted
for Lawrence whose votes had been re-
fused by the Judges because their
names were Incorrect on the registry
list, and also one in Leonardtown who
was not on the list, but had voted
the year before He held that in n
contest which went behind the official
returns these votes should be counted.
He also claimed that the evidence basel
on the recount Of the ballots was vita
ted by the fact shown in the testimony
that the ballots had not all been under
the control of the proper officers since
the election.
The argument lasted until near IL
o'clock, after which the committee held
short conference, but came to no con.
clusion. 'f',.
