New YORK, July IL.
Dispatches from the New York
| Times correspondents at Shumla and
bucharest describe the brilliant on,
ward march of the Russians in Eu-
rope. which is furnished, however. by
the atrocities committed by the Bull
g~arians and Circassians, unhlndered
| by the Russian troops. Like the IA
nous Uhlans of the Franco-German
war, the cavalry push their way ahead,
their sabres flashing even i'm the detiles
| of the Balksn mountains far beyond
the main body of the army, spreading
terror in every direction in the coun
try through which they are passing.
Musselmen families fly before them
terrified and panic-stricken, and sav-
age Bulgarians fall IN the helpless
crowds and massacre them in cold
blood. Fugitives are pouring into
Shumla and Narna with horrible tales
of death and suffering. The country
is alive with Russian troops. Hill and
dale echo the noise of martial hosts.
They hold the road from Biela to Tes-
think. They are marching by way Of
Demir and CapOn pass TO Aidos and
Jamboli. They threaten Rasgrad, where
the Turks are posted. They are, while
l am sending this dispatch, in the
midst of a desperate engagement with
the Turks at Drenova, battling fieicely
for possession Of the road to Kasaulik
by way of Schipka pass. The Turks
have fled before their victorious stand
ards at Biela, and the latest news
places their eagles triumphant on the
Notifications of Nicopolis.
NEW YORK, July IL.
The Herdld's cable correspondent at
Jeni Saghra, reports that Monday
afternoon, the Turks under command
of Leman They. had an engagement
with the Russians, defeating them.
and driving them back into the Bal
kans with heavy loss. The battle
ground was at Febitch, twelve miles
from Jeni Saghra. At first, the Rus
slams seemed to be successful, but the
determined fighting of the Turks,
afterward appeared TO promise the
Turks victory. The Russian forces
consisted of infantry; their cavalry
outnumbering the Turks. whose first
attack was repulsed, and a thanking
column of superior force of dismount-
ed DRAGONS greatly imperilled the
Turkish position. The Turkish artil-
lery was splendidly handled, raking
the columns of the Russians, and thin
ming them at every charge. Perceiv-
ing the terrible havoc caused by the
Turkish fire, General Gourkos ordered
the Russians to charge, and a fearful
hand to hand conflict ensued. The
Turks formed in hollow squares.
After losing several guns, the Rus
slams attacked desperately, and fear
full carnage followed on both sides.
The Russians thanking movement and
desperate onslaught threatened to ex-
terminate the Turks, when suddenly
brisk firing on the left announced the
arrival of Turkish reinforcements,
under command of Raouf Pasha. The
Russians had no artillery, and the
rapid advance of Turkish reinforce
ments compelled them TO face the new
enemy, thus affording their opponents
an opportunity to abandon their hol-
low squares, and throw forward their
TANKS, and the attack vigor-
ously. The Russian line, thus held
between two rows OF bayonets, Was
completely overwhelmed. The Cos
sacks made a splendid resistance,
fighting with the utmost but unavailing
bravery. A Turkish charge was made
over heaps of dead bodies, driving the
Russians back into the mountains.
Flight was precipitaied, and the Turks
pursued the flying Russians until the
pass wac ICSONCAOos LUIS
Russian advance column, consisting of
Circassians and Cossacks, were COM
handed by Colonel Judolmir. The
fnain body was commanded by Gen
eral Gourkos. They we're in light
fleeing order, without wagons, trans
ports or artillery. 1t is impossible to
estimate the losses. The Russian
main army intended to cross the Bal
kaDs at this point, the Eighth Corps
leading. Ii is n known what effect
this repulse of Gourkos' flying col
umn will have on the main advance.
CHICAGO, July II.
A special. giving an account of the
capture Of Nikopolis, says: As soon
AS the Russians came within range OF
the Turks they were met by a severe
artillery fire. which, however, did not
check the advance, and TO which they
replied with still more formidable
fire. The Turks, being posted on a
