REPORTED BATTLE At PLEvNA-HESULT NOT
KNOWN.

cram from Constantinopie at 800 o'clock
| this morning says: .. \ battle commenced
at Plevna on Friday morning, the result OF
which is unknown. No details have reach
| ed here
THE CAPTURE OF LoyATZ--0SMAN PA>HA EN-
ROUTE TO EETAKE IT.
LONDON, September S.-A Reuter- dispatch
| from Constantnople Of September eth says:
| ..Thc account received here OF the capture
| OF Loyatz states it was attacked by 10000
Russians and was galartly defended by
eight Turkish battalionS, who were forced
to give way to superior numbers. They
retreated in good order, taking with them
the Mussulman inhabitants" The dispatch
adds: Osman Pasha had left Plevna with
Itwenty-eight battalions to retake LovatZ."
FICTITIOUS REPORTS OF DESPERATE FIGHTING
AT LOyATZ-ITS CAPTURE NOT so IMPORTANT
AFTER ALL.
LONDON, September S.-Thc accounts Of
the fighting at LovatZ sent from Bucharest
by special spondents turn out pure fic-
ton. The nine assaults OF the Turks cX-
isted only in Roumanian imagination. The
| Turks never attacked at all. nor is the Rus
sian success OF the Stb Of such proportions
as represented. LovatZ is an open town in
the valley, important chiefly in covering
roads to Traian and Gelvi. The use the
Russians will be able to make OF the posi-
ton must depend on their driving back the
| force Of Turks on the northwest Of LovatZ,
spondent of the Times had to pass on the
9TH instant when returning from Lovatz to
| Poredin. Undoubtedly the capture OF Lo-
vatZ must he regarded rather as part OF an
| important system OF operations than as an
| independent achievement. That this is the
Russian view is shown by the fact that they
brought the overwhelming odds Of $4,000
against 1000 to make success certain. This
view is further confirmed by reports OF con-
tinued lighting in the region OF Loyatz and
| Plevna
Perhaps the Russians are trying to finish
with Osman Pasha before it becomes indis-
pensabe to meet Mehemet Ali Pasha's adj
vance. 1t seems beyond doubt that the
Czarowitchs army has been greatly weak
ened, and that after several important sue
cesses Mchemet Ali now threatens the line
CT communication with Tirnoya, while
Ahmet Ajoub Pasha, operating from Rust
chuk, threatens not only the new bridge at
| Pvrgos, but even the SistoYa crossing.
| That the Russians permit these operations
| to 60 forward is the strongest support to
the repeated assertions OF CORES pondents
that every preparation was making ana
every nerve would be strained to bring
complete destruction to the Turkish army
at Plevna.
THE TIME FOR INTERVENTION NOT YET AR
| RIvED-THE PROBLEM TO Be SOLVED BY
THE SWORD.
| LONDON, September S.-The rumors OF
Intervention circulated during the early.
part of the week have drawn forth identl-
cal answers from the cabinets Of London,
Berlin. and Vienna that the time has not
