THE RUSSIAN INVASION.
MrKHTAR PAsHA VICTORIOUS.

A slRAIEGIC MOVEMENT ACCOMPLISHED Bl ulI IN
THF FACE or THE ENEMY.
Mukhtar Pasha has retired To a strong position,
which enables him to keep his forces in closer order.
ChefAet Pasha has been in Plevna and reports that
communications between il and the country west
ward is uninterrupted. In the Dobrudia, General
Zimmerman appears intent on hostile movement.
THE RECENT FIGHTING N ARMENIA.
MUEHrAR ATTACKED While MAKING STRATEGIC
MOvENfNr-THE RUSSIANS REFUSED WITH
HEAVY Loss.
LONDON. Oct. II. 1877.
Nothing has been received from the Russians
about the latest battle in Armenia since the bulletin
dated October Q, which stated that the Turks had
abandoned most of their positions, and began re-
treating. IN consequence IF the occupation Of new
positions by the Russians. From private and
official reports coming through Constantnople.
1t appears that Mukhtar Pasha in consequence pro-
baby Of the fighting from October 2 TO October
4, thought it advisable to occupy a less extended
line, and Withdrew his right wing, which stood near
Sarbaan, holding the advanced position on the
Kizil-lepe, and retired to Hadjyeli and yezinkoi.
The line occupied till lately the spurs OF Alada
Dagh was a very formidable one, most Of the POSI-
tions beng weI-ngh impregnable in front but 1t
extended. at least. from fifteen 10 seventeen miles.
that it would have required an army much larger
th?n Mukhtar Pasha had az his command 20 keep IL.
He has, probably, all told about 30 900 or 10000
men. and it was clearly the plan Of the Russian
attack 20 break through this long line. especially
as the advanced position on the right, extending
10 Sarbatan and the KiZl-Tepe left a gap
between his right and left, where % road from Alex
andropol by Gitlczan, Slrbatan and Hadiivel sinks
away down toward FeZnkoi and kars II was,
according 10 Mukhtars account, while this move
ment was being effected. on Thursday mornmg. that
the Russians began attack IN strong force, with
go pieces OF artillery. The Turkish guns and two
columns of infantry speedily took MP pos tion.
ard d1cl between heavy cannon took
place all along the line from kh0dan 90 liadyelI.
The bat l. ragged from afternoon oil an hour aud
half after sunset when the Russians despite being
frequently reinforced duyng the conflict were thor
