LONDON, Oct. II. 1877.
The latest advices from the Grand Duke
Nicholas headquarters report that the Rus
slams have retired to their old positions be-
fore Plevna.
PLEvSA REALLY PRovIsIoNED.
The Turkish War Office confirms the re-
port Of the junction of Chafvet Pacha with
Osman Pacha and the entry of reinforce
ments and supplies into Plevna.
oUTFLANKING MoUKHTAR
battle was fought on Tuesday last October s)
near Aladja Dagh, an important height, quite near
to kars. Armenia A telegram from correspon
dent In Kars, dated Wednesday, says that the losses
were heavy on both sides. Movements were dis
cernble from Kars on the morning of Wednesday
which seemed TO indicate renewal or the lighting
but the Daily Nescs' correspondent, telegraphing
OH Wednesday from the Russian camp, said the
lore Tuesdays battle.
CAUSE OF THE BATTLE.
Moukhtar Pachas official despatch to Constan-
tinople explains that the battle fought on Tuesday,
near Aadja Dagh, was caused by an attempt by the
Russians to surprise corps OF observation which
he had posted at Hozkan to cover the concentra.
tion OF his forces at Aladja-Dagh. Moukhtar claims
that he repulsed the Russians with the loss OF
1900 men.
sERvIA AS RUssIAs ALLY.
A HERALD correspondent telegraphs from Bel
grade that Servias participation IN the war is In
svitable She has gone too far now to withdraw.
Encouraged by the success which has been secured
BY the Montenegrlns the Servian Ministry have
literally forced the principaity into war;
RUssrA's AID TO sERv1A.
Aspecial despatch from Belgrade to the Vienna
Political Correspondence says Russia has under
taken to pay Servia million roubles monthly from
the time the servan army is sent to the frontier.
THE IRREvocABLE STEP.
Belgrade special despatch OF yesterdays date
says:-"The Servian Cabinet has unanimously and
definitely agreed upon terms OF agreement with
Russia" This probably refers to the agreement
concerning the subsidy Of million roubIes to be
paid to servia monthly from the time her army is
sent to the frontier as stated in the Political Cor
responsiveness Belgrade special.
HARDLY READY YET
According to the most trustworthy intelligence
the clothing, provisions and transport OF the
Servian army are still very defective.
1t is not thought likely that Tur.
key will, as reported, address an
ultmatum to Servia, as every day during which
the Porte can avoid bringing fresh enemy into
he ded is a clear gain to Turkey, and the Powers,
whom Turkey intends to consult by means or
circular, will certainly advise moderation.
ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT FACT.
NJ Cristics, the Servlan agent at Constantine
pie, is expected TO return home shortly.
RUSSIAN LOSSES BY SICKNESS
The Standards Nicopolis special correspondent
lays he has trustworthy information that cold rain
and lack OF winter clothing are causing great NOR
Iality in the Russo. .Roumanlan army. The number
Of deaths within the last twenty days are:-Of the
army before Plevna, 5000; OF the CZarewitchs army
100; In the Dobrudscha, $1,000 and at Tirnova and
Shipka, 1000.
TOO HIGH AN ESTIMATE.
The Standards Frankfort correspondent saws he
can state on the highest authority that the Rus
SLAMS In Bulgaria, including reinforcements, nun.
Der only 100000 combatants. Troops are contInu-
ally marching to the frontier, ready for any ofYen-
sve movement on the part OF the Turks.
MARQUIS OF SALISBURY on THE WAR.
The Marquis Of Salisbury In a speech at Bradford
last night said the war was not likely 10 be aban-
doned until one OF the belligcrents was strikinry
defeated or utterly exhausted. England he said.
was not at present in position, without departing
from her neutrality, TO offer anything but mere
general pacific advice.
CONFIRMATION OF A MONITORS LOSS

Inst Turkish monitor struck a torpedo near
Sulina and blew up.

ABANDONING THAT RAID.

burg says the Turks destroyed their bridge at

RUSSIAN FINANCES

The lowest rate since the Crimean war There seems
TO Lave been kind OF panic ut st. Petersburg yes
