witness: With the darkness Gen. Drag.
omiro.o began his disposition. His first
work was to plant in mode Of employ
ment, row of field guns all
along the edge of the fats to
sweep the opposite bank. This
was while the infantry was being march
ed over the fats to the cover Of the will
lows and the darkness and distractions
we're so great that all was not ready until
the first glimmer of dawn. There was
no bridge but numerous river boats
capable of holding Is to 40 men. Even
these were dragged through the mud and
launched in the darkness, the boats put
ting of singly and rowing across
for little cave, and later n
little steam tug was brought. The
Turks opened smart fire both on the
boats and the troops who were waiting
to cross. The leading boat contained
Major General Golchine. The Turkish
ritlemen were in possession about ffty
yards from the shore. He land.

mud. They opened skirmisbir G
fire to cover the landing of the boats
that followed. One by one those landed
their freight who followed the EXAM pie
of the rst boat losd At length enough
had accumulated. Among them were
General Scobilof and his son J.
General Yolchine bad his men
stand up and follow their
officers, There was rush and a cheer,
and the Turks fred An effective volley,
but did not wsIt. General Iolcbins's
skirmishers followed them some distance,
but for time could not press on far from
their base. In the meanwhile the Rus.
sian guns from across the river and
the Turkish artillery were firing briskly.
The Turkish shells kept falling
in the water and bursting among
the columns on the fiat. One shell fell
into boat containing two guns, gunners
and commandment and battery. The boat
upset and all perIshed. This WAS the
| only serious casualty IN crossing, but
many Of the Russian soldiers were fall
ing on both sides Of the river. The
Turkish gunners cling TO their guns with
great stsunchness, amid clouds OF dust
thrown up by shells that burst around.
The Turkish monitor had been hemmed
in by torpedoes within the channel
south of the island. aud Russian bat

their battery and then come down on
the pickets and made some hesdwsy, but
only tor a moment. Soon after noon
the Russian infantry had gained the
heights. A Turkish detachment tried TO
work around and down upon Sistova
but was twsrted by the Russians. The
loss is estimated at 900. Probably
