second edition says :" We have just received .

describing his visit TO the Shipka Pass on Fri-
day last He says: Sulciman rasha has abans
doned the attempt on the Russian position. and
marched away from TIM ncighbDrhood of Ship.

that he Is searching fvf another pass. My own
belief IL that he s engaged trying to reorgan.
zc his shattered forces. There remain still

and few more miscellaneous battalions in the
village Of Shipka. Several Russian reGniorco-
ments have been marched back. and Gen.
