PERA, August ..
A correspondent says: The Mussul-
man population il a unit. and will
fight to the last ditch, unfnrling, If
necessary, the green flag. 1t Is believed
there that the Russians have so long a
line of communication for supplies
that the Turks are almost certain OF
attaining the same result as in Arme-
mia. Battles north of the Balkans are
believed to have been adverse to the
Russians. The attack of the Turks
was against the line of communication,
and, if successful, will greatly embar-
rass aud possibly defeat the advance oil
the Russians.
South of the Balkans three great
battles are in progress. 1t is almost
certain thai the Russians have extend.
Ell their advance toe far beyond their
base of supplies, and defeat is inevita-
BILE.
England is endeavoring to secure an
alliance, Austria being totally unable
to cope with Russia. The English
army is capable of defense, but inca
pable OF offensive operations against a
first class Power.
LONDON, August 9.
A great battle is still going on at
Saftcha. The blow struck at the Ninth
Corps by Osman Pasha at Plevna, on
the 10Th, was so severe that the
Eleventh Corps on the outskirts OF
Rusichuk was compelled to move 10
miles west. 1t was not until yester-
day that the Russians were prepared
to renew the engagement. AT that
time the entire force of the Russians
consisted of about 60, 900. They were
drawn up in three columns on the
plain beside the river Vida. The or
der was then given to advance on
Sattcha, where Osinan Pasha with
$4,000 men was eatrenched behind
hastily thrown up earthworks. Great
embarrassment was caused 10y the tar
diness of the artillery train, which
could only be dragged through the
mud with the greatest difficulty. A
halt was made on the heights over
looking Saflcha, and upon the spun
putting from the ridge one could see
the white tents of the Turkish army
hard by the river side beg ond the
town. The attack was decided on at
all hazards, and the artillery was
brought into position. The first roar
of cannon was promptly echoed from
the Turkish entertainments. Then
began a most furious artillery
duel, from which the Russian
troops did not escape unharmed.
The Seventeenth and Eighteenth Reg.
iments OF the Infantry of the avant
garde were swept through and
through by iron missiles, piling the
dead in sickening heaps together.
In the midst of this, the order was
given to storm the positions in accord
ance with the usual Russian tactics,

of the Ninth Corps rushed to the At

carry off the wounded, so fearful was
!, the slaughter, when at last the order
was given to retire and the Russian
guns gradually ceased firing. The
Turks did not follow up their success
evidently expecting a renewal of the
/ attack on the morrow. The total loss
OF the Russians so far is not less than
, 5000 killed and 5000 wounded.
