THE EASTERN WAR.
Multar PaShaS Defeat.
The Russian Forces Will Not
Remain Idle Longer.

VIENNA, October Is. Mukhtar Pasha's defeat
leaves the Russians free to act on the wings.
Further operations by lsmsil Pasha against the
lgdyr are out Of the question, and if he does not
retreat promptly he may share the fate OF Mukh-
tars Aladja division.
The Russian force at Arabian, which has been
kept IN check by Mukhtar's position rather than
by any immediate opposing force, will not>remain
idle longer.
Thus with one blow all the advantages gained
by the Turks during the summer have disappear.

of supplying the Russian army interfere, march
