The Defeat and Retreat Of the Left
Wing OF the Russian Army In Asia.

As most Of the younger generals Of the
Russian army, for instance, Loris-Meli
kof, Heimann, Dewel, Oklobschio, Tsch-
awtschswadse, Scheremetjew, 10 too, Ter
gukassow, attained his generals sepaulettes
in Caucasus. All Caucasus generals
are brave and daring war-horses, who,
trained In the schools of war they at
tended. had seldom had large armies TO
command. The present campaign is the
first in which they have, relatively speak
ing, larger divisions 10 command, and at
present are trying TO carry on war accord
ing to the principles which twenty years
since were crowned with success in eau
casus. These principles are to surprise
and whip the enemy, to advance, circum.
vent fortified places, and by rapidity OF
movement demoralize him. Thus we are
made to understand the attempt of
marching against Erzeroum, circumvent-
| ing Kars at the same time, which was
| the object of three Russian divisions, of
! which the very weakest-that of Eriwan
had dared get ahead Of the other
columns, and thus compelled Gen. Nell
koff, Notwithstanding the numeric super
iority Of the hostile army, TO advance to-
ward il in double-quick, and, by a forced
division of the Turkish strength, relieve
the division of Tergukassow OF position
which might have easily become most
critical. How very critical that position
must have been at that moment may he
learned from the fact that, for the bring
ing Of some dispatches to Gen. Tergukss-
SOW and his reply, Gen .Melikotf promis.
ed and paid Kurd 1000 roubles. The
weakness of the forces of Tergukassew,
moreover, is rendered evident by the fact
that to cover the rear of the division
there could be left at Bajasid but six
companies and three sotnies, and that
after the 'retreat to lgdyr being com.
pleted and the provisions fully supplied
but eight battalions and fifteen sotnies--
in all from 5000 to 1000 men, advanced
to relieve Bsjssid.
At this critical juncture, after the
battle near Dsisr, the high qualities Of
Tergukassow, the Caucasian officer, were
demonstrated, who, accustomed TO carry
on war in the mountains, had attacked
and retreated with but very smallstrength
under manifold perils. Tergukassow
hastened to Surb-O Ohanes, and, instead o.
choosing the way to Bajasid, as the enemy
would have anticipated, be took private
road to Igdyr, leaving Bsjasid on tht
,sorth, and thence TO Bajasid to relieve it

Forty mine Days In an Open Boat.

Capt. Crapo and his wife. who arrived
at Penxxncc On July -, from New Bed
lord, in the smallest boat thstever cross
Ell the Atlantic. had most tedious and
perilous voyage of forty-nine days. The
drogue which they took with them WAS
found to be OF little use, because it was
too light. While of the hanks they saw =
keg floating, which luckily they were
able 10 secure. Capt. Crapo knocked of
the iron hoope. and with some canvass
made new drogue, which answered ad
mirably. During the voyage the rudder
broke, but happily there was spare oar
on hoard, which Was used until the first
could he repaired. The seas were run
ming mountains high, and during all
that time, even when lying down 20 rest,
they had to lie on wet clothes, everything
being wet on hoard. On one occasion
the captain wss for seventy hours steer
ing without relief, the weather being 70
frightfnl and on another he was eigh-
teenhours oonscutively attending to the
drogue. Capt. Crapo says he could not
have stood another fifteen days: indeed,
he had not slept for seventy hours when
he landed. His average Of sleep while
going across was under four hours dsy
Among the many extraordinary things
connected with the voyage is the fac,
that it had to he run by dead reckoning,
As the craft was not equal 10 q chronome-

one Of the London newspapers tha, II the
captains wife, who during the last three
days o; the voyage was 20 i'll as 10 he
unable to render any assistance, had died

been morally guilty Of nanslsuehter.
