FIGHTING NEAR ERZEROUM-A
REPULSE OF THE RUSSIANS
REPORTED.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. Is.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. Is.
A special dispatch to the Golos from
the Grand Duke Michaels headquarters
at Veran Kaleh, on Akbaba hill, seven
miles south of Kars, says: "Generals
Heimann and Tergukassoff's corps are
besieging Erzeroum, The Ardahan corps
is on the Soghauh mountains. Russian
administration is being introduced into
the vilayet of Erzeroum. General Schel-
kovnikopp has been appointed military
governor"
| CoNsTANTINoPLE, Nov. 1S.--The
Russians have been repulsed near Kars
after prolonged fighting. There has been
a heavy snow in Asia. A council of war
under the presidency of the Sultan has
decided to largely reinforce Meheme
Ali. The rumors of peace are negotia-
tions denied.
LONDON, November 15.-The Times
Pera correspondent in letter says:
"The Turkish exchequer occasionally
comes to stand still, and it is wonder
full how it ever moves on again. Recent
ly an offer of arms was rejected because
$4,000 could not be raised to complete
the payment for them"
The Manchester Guardian has spe-
cial from Cettigne which states that of
S00,00 rubles sent to Montenegro for
the relief of the inhabitants the Russian
agents have applied over 100000 in buy
ing political influence. A Reuter- tele-
gram from Ragusa says: "The Monte
negrins have taken Fort Soustas. They
, bombarded Antivari all yesterday. They
, have captured all the Turkish provisions
and depots."
3 The Times Vienna dispatch says :
"Mehemet ALI is moving with the forces
T at Sofia, to position at Chaikovtze, ten
miles west of Sofa, where the road from
Lom Palanka intersects the road to
Nish. Here he will be able to watch
:. Sofia, and if needed cooperate with the
force at Orchanie."
, A Reuter- telegram from Erzeroum
\ contains the following: '1he Russians
a captured Fort Azizie on Wedn esday, but
: were Immediately expelled. The inhab
itants of Erzeroum have participated il
the recent fighting. The loss has beer
8 considerable. There is general enthusi'
: asm. The Russian cavalry have appear
!, ed on the north of Erzeroum."
