LONDON, June 2l.-We have now
detailed information respecting the first
conflict in the open field between the
Turks and Russlsns, IN Armenia. 1t
will be remembered that Mukhtar Pasha
reinforced the troops at Deli5abs some
days ago and ordered the commander,
Mehemet, to advance through the passes
from tE9 the Tsss valley and Pssin plain
posltion it Zeidikan, or Sandschan,
which is ten or twelve miles southwest
of Toprsk Ksleh and just in
front Of the passes above mentioned.
His artillery strength is not stated, but
1t was not strong. His infantry was not
above eight thousand, and he had little
or no cavalry, and that was bad. The
Russian lett, under Lieutenant. General
Terguktosoff, had on either hand about
10000 infantry and plenty OF cannon,
besides an etiectusl cavalry force. The
Turks brought on the fight by advances
on the 18th. The whole day was spent
in an artillery duel, but on the 10th the
Russians began the execution of an evil
IDENTIFY settled plan. Six bodies o: Russian
infantry advsL ced at Six o'clock under
cover of terrible artillery fire. Not
withstsnding the Turks returned a
steady FIRE the enemy continued TO ad-
vance, and finally by detsching q strong
body turned the Turkish right, seized
the commanding hill, quickly threw up
hreast works, and there established four
field guns, which enabled them TO retain
almost tbs entire front of the Turkish
line from the movement. The losses o
the latter were serious, Their men tel

which says that General Tergukassoi
has left Jeidiksn, and is now marching
upon Kupriko. On the other hand
Mukhtsr Pashss main position was q
Ksr,ouch, near Zwein, and it is certain
that the Aras, which is not tordsble a
this season, flows between him and th
troops beaten on saturday, and who
would protect him from the Russian lei
wing. Another report says, however
that some OF the army around hsrs hs
advanced toward Er8eroum, which ma
explain Mukhtsr Pashs's threatened po
sition.
The latest Turkish sdvices, dated Jun
18th, say kbst the Turkish left wing
rsllylng on Erzeroum, followed by
Russian General.
