NOT READY FOR HOWARD YETI
The Indians heretofore reported as
having turned back under Joseph to fight
Howard were merely on horse stealing
expedition, and coming within twenty
FIVE miles of Virginia City drove off over
three hundred horses from the Madison
valley in the direction of Geyser Basin.
RUSSIANS DISCOURAGED.
Since the battle of Plevna the Russians
offensive policy has changed into timid
and dillatory defensive, and SO far from
again attacking PIevna they have gone
to fortifying their positions. Suliman
Pasha has captured nearly all the Russ
ians positions at the opening Of the defile
of Schipka, with loss to the Russians of
three thousand. It is also reported that
the Russians have abandoned their works
and Suliman is in pursuit. Fort Nicho-
las, Schipka Pass, is still held by the Rus
slams.
