saults during the day which were defeat
ed. The recapture is attributable, to the
refusal of reinforcements by the Russian
commander in chief. The Russians

Turkish batteries and the ground was
thickly covered with their dead killed in
Tuesdays assaults. English accounts
represent reinforcements coming to the

represent the Russians in Schipka Pass

to drive them out and as constantly ex-
posed to murderous artillery fire; also

Plevna that it cannot stay the advance
of Mahomet Ali which threatens to cut
off the supplies of the Russians in Schip-
ka Pass. ID - -
