NEWS SUM MARY
THE WAR In THE EAST.

Adyioes through Turkish channels report
signal victory for Suleiman Pasha, he having
oantured Elena, a Russian position about twen-
nv miles southeast of TirnOva, taking 5000
prisoners and six cannon.
Russian accounts acknowledge defeat, with
heavy losses, al Elena.
A Paris correspondent publishes letter from
person holding a position OF trust connected
with one of the highest personages of the Otto
man empire declaring that the Turks are hope
Less Of success, and az soon as Erzeroum IS
taken and the Adrianople road threatened they
will treat separately with Russia, and cede the
free passage of the Bosphorus to the Russians
rather than permit them to advance on Con-
stantinople.
A Constantinople dispatch says: Ghaza
Mukhtar Pasha's army numbers $4,000 men.
This is considered insufficient to hold Erie
poun. Reinforcements will be sent him."
Mehemet Ali has confded to Baker Pasha
Cool. Valentine Baker, command of division.
It ia officially announced that the Russian
loss between Nov. 10 and II was 1858 men.
The total loss since the commencement Of the
war is "a, 858 men.
The strength of the alliance between the
three Emperors is daily becoming more appar-
emit. During the early part of the summer
campaign in Bulgaria it was the fashion for En-
glish papers to assume that Austria was friend
" to the Turks and jealous Of the encroach-
rnents OF the Russians upon the Danubian
provinces. But that favorite illusion has long
since been dispelled, and now, according to the
latest advices, an uneasy feeling is becoming
apparent in London lest the settlement of the
Eastern question may be made in manner I'M
favorable to English interests.
The most important event of the war in
Europe 80 far is the fall of Plevna, the chief
stronghold of the Turks north of the Balkan
mountains. After a severe engagement before
the town on Sunday, the 9th INST, Osman
Pasha, who was wounded, surrendered IN
conditionally. On Saturday, the 8th says a
special cable dispatch Of the 18th,
"after Osman Pasha had found his
escape impossible, his army starving
and perishing with cold, and no hope of
success, he sent parlemeAtaire to the Rus
tS4hn ASdNGuHL CC1o WACLA o. cPOOAdA AOpIOA WA
dressed personally to the Grand Duke Nicholas
as chief of the army investing Plevna. The
Grand Duke declined either to accept the let
ter or to receive the parlementaire, and direct
ed HIM to be escorted to the headquarters OF
Prince Charles as Commander-in-C Chief OF
the allied armies besieging Plevna.
, The purport of the letter was re-
quest for favorable terms Of capitulation,
and an especial request from Osman
Pasha to be allowed to surrender his sword to
the Grand Duke Nicholas. This being impos.
sible, the parlementaire returned. On Sunday
another desperate assault was made on the
Russian right, in which Osman Pasha himself
was wounded, and about 5000 Turks put hors
de combat Nothing remained but uncondi-
tional surrender, and thus closed one of the
hRavest defenses of modern times"

A Horse Defends His Master.

Last Saturday, across the river, in
this county, an enraged horse attacked
and bit a boy, the son of Mr.. Hum
phreys, nearly to death. The boy, aged
about II, went out on the prairie to
catch his own horse, which was in a
herd, and as he approached the herd a
strange horse attacked him, and he
threw an ear Of corn at him, but the
horse came on and grabbed him by the
hand, tore it to pieces, and also his arm
In several places was bitten. While the
horse was biting the boy the boys own
horse ran in between them and cut the
other horse off. Citizens came then and
killed the enraged animal Freestone

CORPORAL RYAN.


Confir mation of the Report that White
Man is Held by Sitting Brll-The Gov
eminent Taking Steps for His Release.
1t was some time ago stated in news
papers that there was white soldier
held as q prisoner in Sitting Bulls
camp, but everybody supposed that it
was merely campfire story in print.
Gen. Terry, however, gives it official at
tention, and writes as follows to the War
Department -e
SIR: On my recent visit to Fort Walsh I
was accompanied by q young half-breed named
Baptlste Shane, who acted as interpreter for
the Commission to meet Sitting Bull. After
we had left Fort Walsh and were on our vray 3,
Fort Buford, he informed me that last spring
he was In Sitting Bulls camp, and there met s
white man, who said that his name was Martin
Ryan that he had been corporal in the
Seventh Cavalry; that he was taken prisoner
IN the action Of June &c, 1876; that he had
been held as prisoner ever since that time
although he had made several attempts to es-
cape. Shane also said that while talking to
this man he was interrupted BY Sitting Bull.
who ordered him away from the lodge in
which they were cOnversing, and that this man
Ryan is kept painted by the Indians, SO as to
be hardly recognizable as a white man.
and is married to q daughter of Spotted Eagle.
Shane is, think. truthful and Trustworthy
young man, and moreover, reference to the
list of killed and wounded in the action
of June rs, 1876, shows that Corporal RYAN.
of Company c. Seventh. Cavalry, was reported
as killed.
respectfully suggest that q demand be
made on the proper authorities fer the release
of this man from Imprisonment, aud his resto-
ration TO his country.
have the honor to be, sir, very respectfully
your obedient servant,
ALFRED H. TERRY,
Brigadier General Commanding.
Secretary McCrary at once sent a copy
of Gen. Te1ry's statement to the Secre~
tary OF State, with the following letter:
To the Honorable the Secretary of State:
! SIR: have the honor to transmit for your
action copy of letter from Brig. Gen. A.
H. Terry, relative to the reported capture of
Corporal Ryan, Of the Seventh Cavalry. in the
engagement of June 90, 1876, and his retention
IN captivity by Sitting Bull, and beg to request
| that you will cause the matter to be inyestI-
gated, and, if the facts are proven to be as al
| legged, that demand be made on the proper
authorities for the release of this man from
| imprisonment. Very respectfully your obedient
| servant, GEORGE W. MoCRARY. N
Secretary of War.
Secretary Evarts has addressed letter
on the subject TO Sir Edward Thornton,
at the British Legation, who in turn has
communicated with the Governor Gen-
eral of Canada, under whose supervision
Sitting Bull now lives, and through him
Maj. Walsh will be instructed to asoer-
tain in some way if this remarkable story
is true, and, if such o man is held by
Sitting Bull, to demand his release. :

An Enterprising Reporter.

A San Francisco reporter, who is as
lazy as he is clever, was once detailed to
report the sermon of an eminent divine
OF that city. When the preacher was
about half through the reporter be-
thought himself of yacht race, and,
folding up his notes. made his exit
through the vestry room. The next
day the sermon appeared in print The
reporter had given correct report up
to the time he left, and then, getting the
general idea of the theological argument.
tackled on an extra column of brilliant
metaphor and highly-colored descriptive
matter, without much regard to theology.
The Doctor came round in wrath next
day. and wanted the reporter discharged.
During the week those of his congrega-
ton who had not attended the church
congratulated him on the last half of
his superb discourse.
