BULGAHEaN CAMPAIGN.
Russians ROmberding Elevna Another
Attsck on the Griyiiza Redonbt Kepais-

LONDON, Oct 2O-Rossiaa official bulletins
from PlevGa say the siege opera tons are pro-
gressDg The Russian batteries fire in c0pcen-
trated s2lvas directed simultaneously upon one
point. Tue ire appears to have considerable
effect on the positions since the bombardmeut
has been carried on with great violence. The
Roumanians have not yet occupied the second
Grivitza Tedobut, though TIE report is again
telegrapbed that the Turks have evacuated it.
The movements on the LON indicate that
Suielmau Pasha is concentrating ia front Of the
CzaTowitch's left wing, with the intention of
attacking as soon as the weather permits. bat
the Czarowitchs line is a long Que, and the
Turks may break through at some other points
while feinting gainst The left wing.
Osman Pasha telegraphs that the enemy at
tackled his positions on the right wing on Fri
day. The attacking party consisted of only one
battalion and some sappers aud was repalsed.
THIS affair seems of Itself to have been utterly
unimportant bat it was probably feint to
draw O4man's attention from Grivitza, as the
Bucharest semoffcial paper, Romaueel of
Saturday evening announces that the Rouman-
ians have thrice heroically attacked the second
Grivitza redoubt, but were repulsed. Details
are wanting.
A special 70 the Standard from Bucharest
says that the Russian official account reports
the Roumanisn loss on Friday as officers and
13S men,. Another account says that 80 we're
killed and wounded.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Oct 21.-A despatch saws
Suleiman Pasha tslegrapbs that the Russians
have incorporated $4,000 Bulgsrians into their

Fighting ssiH Going ON at Eievna
A report is current that the Ronmanians re-
captured the second Grivtza redoubt Saturday,
but this is not yet Sunday EVENING" confirmed.
1t is dent that as the redonbt was taken by
the ROumanians and recovered by the Turks
Friday, the losses of the former must be much
heavier than officially stated
A me mber of the Red Cross society told me
that orders have been received for the reception
of 5000 wounded. This evidently is a gross ex-
aggeratlon. The loss is probably 800 or 500
1t is said The Turks had mined the redoubts and
were waiting till it was full of Roumanians,
explode and then make the assault. 1t is
thought the fighting is still going ou,and in my
opinion the final result will be the capture of
the redoubt By the allied forces.
Kadaki EvacuRtca by the Turks.
The Times special from Torlak. Saturday
says that the Turks have evacuated Kadaki for
fear the Russians would block their communi-
cations with Rutschuk, and they have retired
to Rasgrad A Russian cavalry from the Deb
rudscaa have advanced as far as Kayaroa
4 later telegram from Rasgrad ,ys detact-
ment of the army has arrived AZ that place but
the positions at Soenik and K4d ,koi are re-
tanned for the present by the Turks. 1t seems
evident however that retrogade NOV ment
has commenced Suleiman Pasha has gone 10
make personal inspection Of the fortifca-
tions of Rustctuk.
