Conflicting Reports from Kars.
LONDON, May 8.
Times dispatches from Vienna says: News
| of the unsuccessful attempt of the Russians
| 10 carry Kars by a coup de main, is confirmed
| by Russian bulletins, which speak even OF
| two attempts to storm the Citadel. In conse-
| quence of this, the apprehensions entertained
| at Constantinople, about the fate Of kars, are
set at rest. The opinion that the Russians
| will not halt before Kars, bat will invest 1t
| and proceed with the bulk of their forces
| toward Erzroum, seems likewise, to have al
ready found confirmation, for the two wings
of the IN appear to be moving to turn the
position of Sogohaate and DAgh, and thus
force Muktar Pasha to withdraw and leave
| the passes open FOR Russian main forces.
Times dispatch from Paris says: It's al
| legged here that Kars is about to surrender;
that the Turkish army between Kars and
Erzroum is in danger OF defeat and immed-
lately on these events happening, Saivrt PashA
will be sent to treat Tor peace.
