REPORTED ADVANCE ON TIRNOvA.


Concerning Suleiman Pashas movements reported
from Constantnoplc yesterday, when it was stated
that Inc was believed to be engaged in strong effort
near Osman Bazaar, The Daily Ietegraphs Shuma
special, dated sunday night, says:
No official has leen received here since Thursday
Important movements imminent, II not aroa ~ IN
progress Great anxiety prevails aud many rlmos are
circulating among them, that heavy lighting occurred on
Friday in the direction Of TInOva upon winch pace tle
Russians UI ately driven back losing ever 5Vp'
men. and that the Turks are now bombareng llrnoVa
All available surgeons and dIessers are going hence to
Osman BlZar

man Pasha is cndaayoring to effect an important

and the fact that the Russians say nothing about 1t
must not be taken as contradictory. They would
be likely to reserve a report until the movement
was cOmDletcd,
