delays cause confusion OF dates of the dis
patches from the theatre OF war, and lead
to transformation There has been no
serious engagement since the defeat of Gen
Skobelof on Wednesday in which he lost
half of his command The DAILY News
a strong pro-Russian paper thus sums up
the mornings intelligence: Looking im-
partially at the faces presented this MORN
ing We are unable TO form any conclusion
than that the attack on Plevna
HAS NOT ONLY FAILED
but so failed that it cannot be renewed
under the conditions in which the Russian
commander finds himself placed. He has at.
tempted what the great German command
ers never attempted in their French cam
paign, and has used up his slight superior
ity Of men with extraordinary rapidity.
He is
LIABLE To BE ATTACKED
at any part of his front by force larger
than any which he can assemble there. In
a word, he is beaten" The battle reported
at Dubrik, in which the Russians were said
to have been defeated, must have been. ii at

which he will retire if driven from Plevna
Anyhow, the Roumanian attcmp; To cut

SEEMS To HAVE FAILED.
Chefuet Pasha, the leader in the Bulgari-
an massacres, has been sent to command
Osman Pasha's reserves at Orkanick and
guard his communication, and possibly also
with view OF keeping an eye on Servia.
The main body of
THE RUSSIAN ARMY
is concentrated between Tierstenic and BIZ
ella. The headquarters OF the twelveth
corps are at Yabelama, near Batan, on the
Danube, where a ferry has been established.
\ new bridge is building to replace the
one given up at ,Pyrogas. The Caro-
Nitch's headquarters are AT Lower Monster.
This position, from Contra to the Banica
LON,
Is CUT Up
by georges, ravines and small streams, and
has been further strengthened by formid-
able earth works. 1t has been evidently
selected as the best cover on that side for
Sistova communication.

but we think a great deal of land in this
country that is lying idle, and its value
being rapidly eaten up by taxes and interest,
would be much more profitable to itsowners

detailsof the preliminary movements in the
recent engagement between Colonel Sturgis
and the Nez Perces. The Indians were
we'll surrounded, having Howard and Mer-
rift on either side and Sturgis on the flank,
Sturgis, however, being the only command
which struck the hostiles. The Indians at
tempted to secure a junction with band of
hostile Sioux, but were intercepted. General
Howard telegraphs that they buried on the

scouts, killed just in advance of the regu-

are denounced as sensational; the Crows are
loyal, and have done good, active service
with Sturgis- The report of the battle Is
