TIE EASTERN WAR.-No very inn
portant events appear to have recently
transpired ii the Turko-Russian war.
The dispatches, as usual are conflict
inc, each side apparently claiming ad-
vantages and apologising for slight de-
feats. The garrison at Bayazid cita-
del, which, according to previous tele-
grams, was attacked by an investing
force Of 10000 Turks, il said to have
been relieved by Gen. Perguhasson,
who captured four guns and eighty
prisoners, Completely defeating the
Turks, which, to us, seems to be q
small result from the complete defeat
Of % large an investing force. The
town Of Bayazid, it is said, was de-
stroyed. A Varna telegram states
that a Turkish frigate is bombarding
the town Of simferopal in the Crimea.
The Russians, despite the protests Of
The Danubian international commits
sion, have sunk ships laden with stores
at the mouth Of the Danube. Under
date Of July 18th, Monkhtar Pasha
telegraphs that the Russians have raised
their camp On the East Of Kars and
have retreated and that the Turks
now hold its site.

Mr.. HAYES il quoted as saying that
the evidence taken before Dndley
Fields committee last winter failed to
show that the members Of the return
ing board had any knowledge Of the
lterations made in the return from
Vernon parish. It is pretty difficult
to believe that even Mr.. Hayes would
thus deliberately fly in the face Of re-
cent history, for the most that the most
ardent Of his supporters claim is that
the commission had no right to 60 be-
hind the returns, and that its decision
to that effect was irrevocable. Mr.
Hayes is confessedly . fraud, but We

that the cabinet has virtually decided
to recognize Diaz as President Of the

for this favor that usurper has agreed
to settle the disputed Mexican claims

NEW YoRK, Sept. 4.-The Evening
Post says the scene of the great fire at
35th street and 10th avenue yesterday;
was wilderness of ruins. The burn
ed are between 10th and 18th avenue,
extends from the middle of the block
on the north side of Saith street to
the middle of the block on north side
of 36th street. In addition, num-
Der Of buildings were Quilted or dam
aged on the west side Of 10th avenue.
The ruins resemble those of burned
town. The blackened walls still
stand at irregular intervals, the space
between being covered by immense
piles of brick and fragments Of iron
large and small, twisted and warped
out of all resemblance to the original
beams, girdcrs, or machinery.
Reports in regard to the loss Of life
by the fire are as conflicting as yes
terday. Many persons still believe
that . large number of bodies will
finally be dug out of the ruins of
Hates piano factory. Others believe
the loss OF life to be comparatively
slight. Among the latter is Capt.
Washburn, who thinks the workmen
in the upper stories had time to cs-
cape to the roof Of the new factory
before the latter took fire and down
Its stAirWays to the street.

SLAMS, who at first met the oncoming
rush of Turks with great bravery,
were soon forced to yield. They
were driven precipitately down the
heights commanding the valley Of

Sabid Pasha attacked tho Baschilsler,

position, but it was successfully &C.
complished, the guns silenced and
captured, and the Russians killed or
driven back In headlong haste. The
attack, indeed, had been successful ct
all points, and the troops shouted
"ALLAHl ALLAH"
with q fierce enthusiasm that told of
their citation.
A general advance was now order.

over the LON was reached, and the
Turks crossed, unopposed, to the left
bank. The villages on that side
which were held by the Russians
were soon captured, and were short.

Russians now evacuated Popkoi.
As might be expected, this victory
has created the widest enthusiasm
throughout the whole army.
