The BayaZid GarrlsOn-The Place
Evacuated by the Russians.
New YORK, July ia correspondent at
Tifls telegraphs that after the first excite
ment and mutual congratulations over Bayazid,
Gen. Tergukassoff found the garrison almost
starved and suffering from disease The Tur-
kish cannon mad made sad havoc with the orig
inal force of 1900 men. Many of the dead
were lying unburied in a confused and horrible
mass. The dead and wounded numbered 800,
and the remainder of the garrison were in no
physical condition to fight. They had lived on
horse-hesh long time, vermin tormented them
and bad water and facilitating effects of the
blazing sun had placed them in state of weak
ness and ineficiency.
The Russian victory was of short duration.
Fresh arrivals of the Turkish troops, and the
necessity of completing movement to join the
main body of troops at linn, caused Capt.
Tergukassoff to determine to evacuate the place
and push on. In doing so he had a sharp en-
gagement with the enemy, who were on the
way to Karabalak, and lost 200 men and a
heavy ambulance train. The Turks were inn
mediately reinforced from Alaschguerd and the
crescent once more floats over Bayazid.
All the tribes in the Caucasus are in armed
revolt against Russia and have taken all the
important outposts.
Gen. Melikoff is entrenching himself and
other forces have been hastily recalled from all
| the available points to Barukdara, where they
will make stand and wait for reinforcements
but Mukhtar, flushed with his recent vctori es
may be tempted to make an attack. Should he
be successful the Russians will retreat on Tiff;
and Alexandropol with the Turks pursuing
| them into Russian territory.

EGec. of ,he Tidal Wave a, marquesns

SAN FRANCISCO. July 1.-THE Alta publish
es a statement of Capt. Resser of the brig Po-
tomac, recently from Marquesas and Tahiti,
who says that the tidal wave of May 10 was
not felt at Tahiti but at Nukiha in the Mar
quesas group and Bay of Tailohae the water
rose and fell all day, the greatest rise being IA
feet. On Capt Harris plantation, on the other
side of the island, the tide swept away houses
and other property. The warehouses were all
washed away, and the inhabitants compelled
to flee for their lives. The most remarkable
phenomenon is that it had not rained for years
on the island, when it commenced just prior to
the tidal wave, and at the time of the Potomac
sailing it had been raining heavily for twelve
days, washing bridges, etc., away and doing
considerable damage.

one or two cents. How long this condition of things
will remain it is hard to tell. Sugars are strong at

The 50. Louis Financial Panic

ST. LOUIS, July 17.-The report about tie
close of the Bremen Savings Bank proved true.
The bank did its clearing through the Frank
lin Avenue Savings Bank, but assurances of
further accommodation from that source will
not be forthcoming. The directors adopted a
resolution that the bank suspend for ten days
with q view to final liquidation. The original
capital of the bank was 100000, but this was
reduced some time since to $4,000 by reason of
bad securities. The deposits amount to about
100000. The assets are placed at $3.50. 600.
The officers of the bank assert that deposltors
will be fully paid. The run today was very
light, and long before the close of business
hours practically ceased.
