TURKISH POLICY IN BULGARIA.

LONDON, WtuIltrIIy' hUE l. Iof''
Out of the numerous conflicting reports from
Bulgaria the past week. the one substantial and
very important fact is CLEANED that the Turks have
abandoned their Fabian policy, and are making a
serions attack on both TANKS of the Russians. The
latter have been forced to suspend aggressive move
ments, and concentrate on their central line from
Bela to Tirnova As pointed ont by The 1pness
Vienna correspondent to-day. If Osman Pasha and
Lieut. Gen. Mehmet Ali succeed in joining hands
between Tirnova and the Balkan passes 1t VIII be
fatal 10 the Russians south Of The Mountains Thus
far only Turkish reports of fighting have been re-
ceived since the first battle at Plevna but 1t Is
surmsed, with strong appearance OF probability
that if the Russians were faring prosperousiy we
would have official bulletins from St Petersburg.

LONDON, Wednesday Aug. l. 1877
dispatch to The Daily Telegraph, dated Pera,
July 81. midnight. says:
Intelligence just received here from Osman
Pasha announces a great Turkish victory. The
enemy were completely ronted after two days
severe fighting with loss of 5000 killed and
10000 wounded. The Turks captured great
quantity of arms and ammunition. The Turkish
casualties were comparatively small. owing to the
fact that they fought upon the defensive"
In regard to renewed operations at Pevna it is
clearly established that the Russians defeated
in the first days fighting July 30) as an official dis
patch from 1irnova. published in st. Petersburg,
savS On July 80 Gen. Krudcner again attacked

All advices as yet received 60 TO show that the
second days fighting was equally disastrous to the
Russians

Gen. Krudener. yesterday, again attacked Plevna,
but after desperate struggle, repulsed by the
Turks, who greatly superior in numbers"
An official telegram received at Constantinoplc
from Osman Pasha, giving account Of Tuesdays
fighting, is almost identical with The Daily 3elc-
qraphs account but estimates the Russian wounded
at "a 900 out of force of ten divisions, and says
the Russians retreated to their encampment.

assaulted several of the employees both in the shops
and Office and many Of them sustained painful
though not serious wounds.

same time sent word to volunteer organization OF
young men, which had been guarding the extensive
stores Of the Lackawanna Iron and Coal Company
for about a week past. The Mayors arrival at the
scene of the melee was the signal for general attack
upon him. and except for the nterpositon of Father
Dunn. Catholic priest, he would probably have
been killed. He escaped, however, with double
fracture Of the Jaw Meanwhile some forty or fifty
of the volunteers marched down Lackawanna-ave.
