How It Feels To Be Shot.

Capt Henry ROmeyn, of the Fifth
Infantry, is now in Detroit recovering
from the wounds which he received in
the last battle with Joseph's warriors.
He tells the story thus: "YOu see,
had been struck five times. One ball
shattered my tield-glass; another raised
a disagreeable lump on my left shoul-
der, and the others only damaged my
clothing. / ought TO say that very
early in the fight my horse was killed,
and when saw Gen. Miles riding close
up, apparently unconscious that he was
getting into hot corner, warned him
to keep back. had been lying COM

quicker than flash some warrior sin
gled me out and let drive. felt as if
a red-hot iron bar had been thrust
through me. stood rooted in my
tracks for moment, gasped, and felt
the air coming in at my back. The
next instant my mouth filled with blood,
and then knew that had been shot
in the lung. i walked about seventy
five yards and then fell.n

War on the Rio Grande,


81. LOUIS, Dec. Is.
Austin (TeX.) adyices say there was
fighting all day Thursday at San Eli
zario, in FL Paso County, Tex, between
MeXicans from both sides of the Rio
Grande and Texas State troops. The
Governor has telegraphed to the Presi-
dent for help, there being but POO State
troops at San Elizario and no other
State forces within several hundred
miles. The county of Ell Paso is MeXi-
can, and civil posse cannot be raised.
The latest kilograms from FL Paso
report five rangers and a merchant
named Ellis killed by the Mexicans
yesterday. The State troops are in
trenched at San Elizario, surrounded
by mob of several hundred Mexicans
from both sides of the river The Gov
ernor has telegraphed orders to recruit
men from the nearest points in Texas
and New Mexico to aid tie State troops,

ernment advices do not warrant the be-
lief that other than local troubles have
presented themselves So far as can
be learned the 'unfriendly movements
are nearly of the same nature as those
that We're the subject of attention some
months ago, when the question of
proprietorship of certain salt pits in
FL PasO County caused disorder there
The Government does not consider that
the troubles are in any degree interna-
tional. The dispatches were, however,
referred TO the Secretary of War, who,
after consultation with Gen. Sherman,
gave direction for the mastering of
forces in Texas in such positions as to
give whatever aid may be necessary TO
prevent assaultsupon American citizens
or their property.

PLEvNA. Dec. II.

GLENNA. DeC. IL.
For the last three days the Russians
knew that Osman Pasha's provisions
were exhausted, and that sortie was
preparing. They received news on
Sunday that he would concentrate his
whole army near the bridge over the
River Vid. This news was confirmed
during the night by Gen. Skobeloff,
who discovered that the Turks had si-
lently evacuated the Krishina redOubt
and all their positions on Green Hill.
Gen. Skobeloff occupied these at seven
O'Clock in the morning Osman crossed
the Vid by two bridges, and attacked
the Russian positions with such fury
that they captured eight cannon and
in few minutes almost annihilated
the Sibersky Grenadier Regiment. The
Turks then found themselves under a
fire of 100 cannon of the Russian second
line, and were attacked by the grena-
diers, who resolved to recapture their
guns. The Turks were driven back
after fifteen minutes bayonet fight,
but continued to fire from the shelter of
the banks of the Vid until 1890 p. m,
when the firing ceased on both sides,
and quarter of an hour afterward Os-
man sent an envoy to treat for surren-
der. Osman's wound in the leg is
not serious.

THE EASTERN WAR.
The Russians Capture PIovna.

BOGoT. Dec. 10.
At $3.50 this morning Osman Pasha' $
entire army attacked the Russian gren-
adler corps holding the line of invest
ment on the left bank Of the river Vid,
endeavoring to force passage, The
attack was made with desperate energy,
and portion of the Turkish troops did,
in fact, penetrate the line of intrench-
ments and batteries, but all attempts to
break through the position of the gren-
adiers were Intellectual. After five
hours severe fighting the Turks were
defeated. Osman Pasha, surrounded
on all sides, was compelled to surrender
with his whole army. .I
The ground which was the scene of
the sortie was literally strewn with
thousands of dead and dying. Osman
Pasha himself was severely wounded
before he would consent to surrender.
His valor, which is described as dcsper-
ate, is everywhere the theme of conver-
sation. The sufierings of the Turks in
the beleagured town were actually aw-
full. Cold, disease and famine deci-
mated the ranks and reduced the sol
diers to living skeletons. To aggravate
the sufferings there were no doctors and
no medicine could be obtained.
BUCHAREST Dec IL.
Osman Pasha's sortie was solely
prompted by the entire failure of pro-
visions. Osman crossed the river Vid
and attacked and took Fort Dolby Etro-
pelje. The Russians and Roumanians
were hurried up from Suzorla and
Buckova. After terrible carnage Os-
man attempted to re-enter Plcvna, but
it had meanwhile been occupied by
Roumanians and Russians from Grivitz.
Osman, on finding himself thus sur
rounded, although wounded in the foot,
personally conducted the negotiations
for surrender. He expressly announced
that he surrendered Internationally to
the Emperor. Simultaneously with the
main sortie the Turks made sortie
against the Roumanian positions on the
right bank of the Vid, but this was fee
bly, conducted. The Turks in that
quarter surrendered almost unresist-
ingly. The whole Turkish artillery
train was captured in the immediate
neighborhood of Plevna. The Russian
and Roumanian armies made tri-
umph3nt entry into the town at $3.50
Monday afternoon.
The number of prisoners taken at
Plevna is estimated at 10000, exclusive
of 10000 sick and wounded.
A Tie Deum was sung here to-day to
celebrate the Russian success at Plevna.
Prince Gortschakoif and the Russian
and Roumanian authorities were pres
ent. The Car after the surrender of
Plevna placed his own carriage and es-
cort at the disposal of Osman Pasha.
