An official dispatch announces that Eyoub

Duke Nicholas north of Trivona and defeated
them with loss of -, 900, and that the Grand
Duke is surrounded. The report of the defeat

New York, July II.
Dispatches from the New York Times cor
respondents at Shumla and Bucharest describe
the brilliant onward march of the Russians in
Europe, which is furnished, however, by the
atrocities committed by the Bulgarians and
Circassians unhindered by the Russian troops.
Like the famous Ulhans Of the Franco-German
war, the cavalry push their way ahead. their
sabres flashing even in the defles of the Balkan
mountains far beyond the main body Of the
,i,,n Jtrnc in
country through which they are passing. Mus
selmen families fly before them terrified and
panic-stricxen, and savage Bulgarians fall on
the helpless crowds and massacre them in cold
blood. Fugitives are pouring into Shumla and
Yarna with horrible tales Of death and suffer
ing. The country is alive with Russian troops.
Hill and dale echo the noise of martial hosts.
They hold the road from Biela to Testinik.
They are marching by the way of Demir and
Capon pass to Aidos and Jamboll. They threat
eped Ragsrad, where the Turks are posted.
They are while I am sending this dispatch, in
the midst of desperate engagement with the
Turks at Drenova, battling hercely for possess
sion Of the road to Kasaulik by way of Schipka
pass. The Turks have fed before their vic.
places their eagles triumphant on the fortifca.
tions Of Nicopolis.
The Herald's cable correspondent ut Jeni
Saghra, reports that Monday afternoon, the
Turks under command of Leman They, had an
engagement with the Russians, defeating them,
and driving them back into the Balkans with
heavy loss. At first the Russians seemed to be

infantry; their cavalry outnumbering the Turks.
whose first attack was repulsed, and fanking
column of superior force of dismounted dra-
goons greatly imperilled tho Turkish posi-
ton. The Turkish artillery was splendidly
handled, raking the columns Of the Russians,
and thinning them at every charge Perceiving
the terrible havoc caused by the Turkish fire,
General Gourkos ordered the Russians to charge,
and fearful hand to hand conflict ensued.
The Turks formed in hollow squares After
losing several guns, the Russians attacked des
perately. and fearful carnage followed on both
sides. The Russian fanking movement and
desperate onslaught threatened to eIterminate
the Turks, when suddenly brisk firing on the
left announced the arrival Of Turkish reinforce
ments. under command Of Raouf Pasha. The
Russians had no artillery, and the rapid ad.
vance Of Turkish reinforcements compelled
them to face the new enemy, thus affordin9
their opponents On opportunity to abandon their
hollow squares, and throw forward their tanks,
and renew the attack vigorously The Russisn
line thus held between two rows OF bayonets
was completely overwhelmed. The Cossacks
made splendid resistance, lighting with the
utmost but unavsiling bravery. Turkish
charge was made over the dead bodies, driving
the Russians back into the mountains. Flight
was precipltated. and the turks pursued the fly
Ing Russians until the mountain pass was re
covered. This Russian advance column, con
sisting OF Circasisns and Cossscks, were com
handed by Colonel Judolmir. The main bod.
was commanded by General dourkos. The!
were in light fleeing order, without wagons
transports or artillery. 1t is Impossible to esti
mate the losses. The Russian main army in
tended to cross the Balkans at this point, tn
Eighth Corps leading. 1t Is not known wha
effect this repulse Of Gourkos' flying column
will have on the main advance.
