! 9Th. 5000 Turkish cavalry attacked the
Russians between Lascar village, near
Pleyna, and the River Rusica. Inc nus,
slams. who occupied a fortified line, and
who now outnumbered tho Turks, re-
nnlsed them without difficulty, but made
no attempt to follow, as the Grand Duke
Nicholas does not wish TO- waste any oil
the energy of his troops In partial en-
gagements.
The Porte has informed the English
embassy that after two days OF marc
, fighting at Lovatz tho Russians suffered
severe defeat.
Two regiments of Russian cavalry and
one battalion of infantry have be on re-
pulsed i'm two attacks on Jeslar, south Oh

waiting for the necessary reinforcements
and are thankful that they are not assail

feat has altered the whole plan OF th'

}, have vir .ually abandoned the expectation

the balkans. 1t will suffice them If dur
inc the three months still available TO
