Infantry, 500 cavalry anu ten guns.
No less than 10000 Turks formed the

eight hours before the Russians left the

tinuous during the whole day after
the Turks had entered portion of the

for two hours more hot firing ensued,

iatisable in their exersions. When the
retreat began, our position was an ugly

we went each time until the fire was

Cossscks and Hussars were sent down
to meet them. Our position was finally

OF the loss at Karzan is not important
unless the enemy succeeds in forcing

vitch's army Is necessarily divided
into small masses at different places
along the whole line Of the front from

OF troops; second, OF account Of great

Russians' loss 1t five thousand killed
and wounded ia battle.
