The ~Telegroph's special from Ba-
toum says: About 5 o'clock Friday
morning the Russians, largely aug
mented, advanced with field artillery
and made a furious attack upon tue
heights defending Batoum IN the
land side occupied by Basbi Bazouks.
The Ottoman troops were e~ntrenched
and opened a terrible well-susiained
fire of canno and musketry, which
literally moved the Russians down.
They fell by scores and hundreds on
the plain below the Turkish position.
During their attempts to make away
against this fire a body of Turkish
troops, horse and foot, taking advan-
tage of a thick forest, broke forth upon
the flank of the Russian column and
effected great slaughter, the Musco-
vites being upon ground perfectly
open and having no choice but 10
fight or fly. In a short time the

flank movement became covered
with dead bodies and diving Russians,
but the enemy quickly brought up
reinforcements and the battle was re-
newed with much determination for
many hours. The efforts of the as
sailants were desperate, but toward
midday their artillery fire gradually
slackened and they at length with
drew after suffering considerable
losses. Eye witnesses to this inpor-
tant engagement testify that the Otto
man soldiers behaved admirably.
They had, however, during a great
part of the action the advantage of
entertainments of high ground, AMI it
is due to this fac no doubt that their
losses compared to the Russians were
Insignificant.
The I~elegraph's Batoum dispatch,
dated Saturday, says: The victory
was won by the extraordinary cour-
age of the Bashi Bazouks. trhe dead
and wounded Russians exceed four
thousand. The engagement lasted
over eight hours actual fighting. The
last OF the Russians did not withdraw
until near midnight. The Russians
lost many guns. The only Turkish
officer of note killed was Khalim
Bey, Major of I%rregulars.
