what in the shape of horseshoe, but more
pointed. Baron Kriidener was to attack the
Turkish left flank from Crivca toward the
River vid. Schackoskoy was to assault
their right from Radisovo, also toward the
River Vid
PROTECTING THE pLANKs.
On the left flank of the attack stood
Skobeloff with brigade Of Cossacks, bat
talon of infantry and one battery to cope
with the Turkish troops on the line from
Plevna to Lovca and hinder them from in
terfering with Schackoskoy's attack on the
right flank. On the right flank Lascarof
was posted with two cavalry regiments to
guard Krudener from counter attack.
GLOOMY MORNING..
The morning was gloomy, fact which the
Russians regarded as favorable omen, and
the troops cheered vigorously as they passed
the General.
SPLENDID CONDITION OF THE MEN.
Physically there are no finer men in the
world. In the pink of hard condition, and
marching without packs, carrying only
great coats and n haversack with rations and
ammunition, they seemed fit to 60 any,
where and do anything.
MOVING INTO POSITION.
Schackoskoy's right column marched over
Pelisat and Sgalienica. The left column
headed straight for Radisovo. The artillery
pushed forward from the first and worked
Independently. Marching forward we
found the cavalry toreposts on the sky line
above Peisat and on the sloping downs.
The infantry dcployed as they advanced,
according to the Russian practice, on open
ground. The formation was in column Of
double companies, with rife company in
| front Of each battalion.
RIFLES AND RANGE.
! The line and rifle companies have the
same weapon. The rifle company Is made
up of marksmen whose rifles are sighted up
to l, 200 yards, whereas the rifles of the COM
panies of the line are only sighted up to 600
yards. the maximum fire range of tho Prus-
sian infantry in the Frnnco-Gcrman war.
OPENING THE BATTLE ON THE RIGHT.
Baron Kriidener, on the right, opened tho
action ct half-past nine o'clock, bringing q
above the village. At first it seemed as if

troops from Nisch and Sophia, and some
schooled in warfare through the terrible
experience Of the Montenegfin campaign
His total force numbered from forty-6ve to
fifty thousand men, strongly supported by
artillery and well intrenched in the villages
and natural strongholds about Plevna.
HEAVY WORK AHEAD.
On the 2sth July Prince Schackoskoy had
taken up his headquarters in the village of
Karajac -Bugarski, twelve miles east of
Plevna, he having marched from the foot of
the Balkans in six days. Here the HERALD
correspondent joined the Princes headquar-
tiers. 1t was soon learned from cavalry
scouts that the Turks were in great force in
front, and that meant heavy work ahead.
KRUDENER AND sKoBELoFF.
The senior officer in command, and
directly at the head of the Russian forces
from Nicopolis, was Baron Kriidener, whose
headquarters were in the village Of Kasilo-
Wit, on the road from Nicopolis. General
Skobeloff. the younger, who arrived from
Tirnova during the night, was ordered to
take the Cossack brigade and occupy the
town of Lovatz, which 10y southwark, an
important point between Plevna and the
Balkans.
A Reconnaissance.
The next morning (2yth) Prince Schackos-
koy made reconnaissance along the road
toward Plevna in the direction of Crivica
The Turks were not felt, but cannon firing
being heard southwark the Prince marched
in that direction and encamped near the vii
LACE of Pordin. The Russian scouts sent
forward at various points touched the Turks
at Radisovo, Tusevica, Bogot and Slatina.
At night Skobeloff returned with the news
that Looca and the villages between were
occupied by Turks, and il was evident that
their forces had been greatly strengthened.
POSITIONS OF THE FORCES.
It will thus be seen that the Russian line
was long one and aiming concentric at
tack on the position at Plevna. The Turk
ish position lay in semi-circle around
Plevna, both TANKS resting on the River
vid, with its foreposts at about five miles
from the town, occupying the villages, from
sovo, Turcirici and Bogot, and its extreme
advance at Crivica.
WITH THE ARMY.
The HERALD correspondent ut the head
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1877-08-04
THE RUSSIAN PLAN OF BATTLE.

1t was decided at the council of war that
the action should begin next morning at
five o'clock by general concentric advance
OH the Turkish positions in front of Plevna.
1t was also settled that Prince Schackoskoy
and the general staff should move forward
at four o'clock. Several aides of the Grand
Duke Nicholas arrived and were detailed to
various points to make observations, and
after the battle to carry reports of the re-
suits back to the Grand Duke at Tirnova.
A SERIOUS UNDERTAKING.
The gravity of the task before the Russian
army was fully recognized by the command
ing Generals, and, indeed, by all the officers.
Reconnaissance had proved that the Turks
were in greater force than was at first be-
lieved. Twenty thousand regulars had
come from Widdin to reinforce Osinan
Pacha, and the Turkish positions were
known to be naturally strong and to have
been still further strengthened by art. Alto
gether the attack on Plevna was one of those
serious undertakings that call for the great
est ability and foresight in the commanders
and the utmost courage and endurance in
the troops
THE MORNING OF THE BATTLE
The night of the 30th was very wet and
uncomfortable. The troops did not begin
the march forward before six o'clock instead
of four o'clock, as arranged the day before
Leaving, in many instances, their sleeping
places on the damp ground, the men did
not appear to have suffered in the least in
morale from the nights discomforts, but
stepped sturdily forward when the order
was given to march. The number of in
fantry combatants was actually about thirty
two thousand, with 16O fold cannon and
three brigades OF cavalry.
DISPOSITION OF THE RUS IAN FORCE.
Baron Kriidener was on the right, with
the whole of the Thirty-first division in his
fighting line and three regiments of the
Fifth division in reserve at Karajac- Bugar-
ski. He was to attack in two columns, O
brigade in each. On the left was Schackos-
koy, with brigade of the Thirty-second
division and another of the Thirticth di.
vision in his fighting line. Another brigade
of the ThirtIeth division was in reserve at
Pelisat.

ment that followed
THE GREAT BATTLE.


THE GREAT BATTLE.
On THE FIELD
PoRDIN, NEAR PLEvNA, August /, 1877.
After my ride with Prince Shackoskoy
through the "Reminiscences of the Goth ult.,
we encamped near this village The night
which succeeded was spent with tents
struck and horses saddled, waiting for the
order to advance in anticipation of the COM
mencement of fighting at sunrise.
PRUDENTIAL DELAY.
But Baron Krudener had determined to
wait yet day longer in order to perfect his
dispositions and give his troops, who were
much fatigued by severe marching, some
rest The 30th was, therefore, spent in in
action, except that the troops were drawn for
ward somewhat in order to be within strik-
ing distance for the morrows Battle The men
lay around their bivouac fires discussing the
chances of the coming struggle, and ap-
peared to be filled with enthusiasm and
anxious to begin the struggle. The officers
gravely smoked and chatted in groups, but
there was no installing their looks of quiet
determination. As night fell silence--the
calm before the storm--fell on the camp.
One could hardly realize that, within almost
hailing distance of each other, two hosts
lay ready for bloody battle by sunrise.
NEWS FROM THE SCOUTS.
Returning scouts who had been sent for
ward on both TANKS of the Turkish position
reported that no more Turkish troops were
marching from Plevna on Lovca This SIM
plifed matters very much, because fewer
troops were needed to watch Lovca. 1t also
indicated that although the Turks we're in
strong force at Pevna, they had still but
enough troops to defend that place and
could not spare any detachments
COUNCIL OF WAR.
A general council of war was held ut Por-
dim OH the afternoon of the 30th to deter
mine the plan of action to be followed in
the operations of the next day. There were
present Baron Kridencr, Prince Setback
oskov and the generals Of divisions and
brigadcs. The colonies Of regiments and
the officers of the staff waited to receive
instructions as to the final dispositions and

[BY CABLE TO THE HERALD.

LONDON, August 4, 1877.
The disaster to the Russian arms in West
ern Bulgaria is recognized at it's full magni-
tude as the details Of the battle at Plevna
the account of the HERALD correspondent
with the Russian headquarters Of the move
ments preliminary to the great battle Of
Tuesday. 1t will be recalled that when
General Kridener advanced against Nico-
polls he neglected to protect his left flank
by occupying Plevna with cavalry This
blunder he afterward attempted to correct
by sending thither three infantry regi-
ments. He was too late. The Turkish col
umn which had been sent to hold Nicopo-
lis. lso too late for its original object, had
taken position at Plevna.
THE FIRST FIGHT AT PLEvNA.
Upon the advance of the Russian infan-
try some hard fighting ensued, but the Rus
SLAMS got into the town. Hardly had the
men, believing the fight over thrown aside
their accoutrements to rest, than deadly
fire was opened upon them from the houses,
which had appeared untenanted. SO sud-
den and heavy was the fight of
missiles that the Russians began falling by
dozens before they could regain their arms.
Even then no formation was possible, and
the swift result was that the Russians
were in full retreat, leaving nearly three
thousand dead and wounded behind them.
This, which was practically an affair of out
posts on large scale, was the first check
the Russians received. The Grand Duke
Nicholas when he heard of it was very
angry, and sent word to take Plevna at all
hazards.
BOTH SIDES REINFORCING.
It was known that the Turks, elated by
Iheir success, were hurrying troops to the
point, and hence the Russians made provi-
lion for larger force on their own side,
but. still undertaking their enemy, did not
send enough
THE RUSSIAN FORCE.
On the 22d Of July Prince Schackoskoy
was ordered to bring about ten thousand
men from Osman Bazaar, leaving ten thousand
behind him. The Thirtieth division of the
Fourth corps was ordered from .Simnitza to
act under Schackoskoy. The Ninth corps
encamped about Nicopolis was also ordered
to cooperate. This gave in all about thirty
two thousand men and 1GO guns with
cavalry.
THE TURKISH FORCE.

Widdin. occupied Plevna, and had other
