LONDON, June Is.

Special dispatches from Paris agree
that Saturdays sitting of the Deputies
was the most violent ever witnessed. The
Times correspondent says it extended
over five hours and half. During that
long time there was one prolonged roar
of Yociferations. At one time, when M.
Gambetta said that power was in suspi-
:cious hands, the Minister of Public
Works sprang with a threatening air to-
wards the Tribune and members of the
Right and Left dashed forward. Ushers
had to separate the hostile armies. 1t
really seemed as If there would be hand:
to-hand fight. Ell instinctively waited
for the reports of revolvers.
A correspondent at st. Petersburg tel
epraphs that advices from the Russian
headquarters in Armenia report the gar
rison of Kars have made another desper-
ate sortie. The Russian left wing, under
General Heiman, repulsed the attack and
inflicted severe losses on the Turks. The
Russian cavalry at Kugala succeeded in
turning the Turkish flank and rear by a
bold movement. The fighting was very
brisk. The TURKS lost 200 men and the
Russians 1T.
A correspondent at Athens telegraphs
an explanation Uf the defeat Of the Cir
cassions at Beukli Ahmed. The Circas-
SLAMS in the Turkish army became mutt
nous owing to inaction, and demanded to
be led against the enemy. Moussa Pasha,
their leader, applied to Muhktar Pasha
to be allowed to bring them to the relief
of Kars. Permission was granted
Moussa with 1900 men started for Kars,
and reached the village of Beukli Ahmed,
situated on the plain of Kars, and en-
camped there for the night. The Rus
slams observed Moussa, and coming upon
them suddenly, surrounded the village
and took the Circassians by surprise.
The Circassions had scarcely time to form,
but made desperate resistance. They
fought singly or in groups, and the fight
ing was almost entirely hand-to-hand.
Eleven hundred Circassians were killed,
and the rest either dispersed or were
taken prisoners. Moussa Pasha is sup
posed to have escaped. Hundreds of
Turkish soldiers are deserting, owing to
the ill.proyided condition of the army.
Their condition is growing daily worse
and worse. They are poorly fed and
clothed, and are in want of almost every
necessary.
New YORK, June lS.
A cable special reports a terrible fight
between the Turks and Montenegrins.
The cable says the advance of the Turks
from Podgoritza to Albania has been
carefully watched by Montenegrin spies,
and every precaution has been taken in
selecting suitable point at which to re-
ceiye the invading party. The Turks
moved forward to Spuz, reaching that
place Friday night and encamPing. On
Saturday morning, at daylight, the ad-
vance into Montenegro began. The
Turkish force numbered 10000 men, un-
der command of Ali Saib. The Monte
negrins had taken up their station at
Plana, 5000 strong. About 10 o'clock
the Turkish advance came upon the Mon
tenegrin pickets, who fell back to the
main body. An hour later fourteen bat
tallions Of Ali Saib came up, and without
halting attacked the Montenegrin posi-
ton. Four determined attacks were
made by the TURKS, but in each instance
they we're repulsed by the Montenegrins.
Boursa Petrovich had thrown up two
rows of entrenchments behind these ram
parts. The Montenegrins fought with a
safe retreat into wooded hills always open
behind them. The third advance of the
Turks was made with eight battalions,
led by Ali Saib in person. Flushed with
three victories, the Montenegrins saw
that their enemies came up to the attack
with little heart; therefore they refrained
from firing unti they were within 200
