MONDAYS GREAT BATTLE-LovATz
TAKEN.
An official despatch from Prince Mere
tinsky, of the Russian army says
Lovatz h"S been taken, after twelve
hours fighting along an extended line
despite its natural strength, its strong
Notifications and the stubborn resistance
of the Turks. Skobeloff was the hero of
the day. Our loss is not yet exactly as
certained. General Kasgildiajef T was
wou nded.
DETAILS OF THE CAPTURE.
A Bucharest correspondent says the
battle was commenced by the Turks, who
disquieted by the great increase Of Rus
SLAMS before the town, attacked them
fiercely. The Russians repulsed nine
successive Turkish assaults, and finally
drove the Turks back into tho town,
which they entered with them.
FIGHTING IN THE STREETS
The struggle continued in the streets
| until the Turks were driven out from the
other side of the town in great disorder.
They retreated, followed by General Sko-
balof7s cavalry brigade, which had by its
gallantry, largely contributed to the Ru,-
sian success. The slaughter was great,
especially among the Turks. .,. ......
THE FIGHTING EXTENDING To p1EvNA.
The Telegraph's Pera correspondent
under date of Tuesday evening says:-
"Rumors are afloat Lere that great bat
tie is now progressing before Plev na."
CONTRACTING THE RUSSIAN LINES.
The Russians have abandoned the Up
per Lom line and have withdrawn their
] right wing on that side, which was at
! Popskoi, to line where they can keep
in contact with the forces guarding the
road from Osman Bazar. Mehehet Ali
has thus gained an undoubted strltegeti-
cal success by his victory at Kara$an. All
depends on how he will use it.
STRONG TURKISH . 'ITIoNs.
The News correspondent, telegraphing
from Gagovo on September l, shows that
the Turks, as the result of their victory
at Karasan, occupied large mountain
forming the key of the Rasgrad position
and and commanding almost equally the
Lom and the Kara-Lom and the Russian
positions at Obaka and Gagovo,
THE WAR IN ARMENIA.

A Belgrade dispatch states that the
grst class of the Seryian militia has been
ordered to be at points Of concentration
by the 18th inst. The second class of
militia has been ordered to hold itself in
readiness to march,, Prince Milan will
take chief command. --
L. WHO. WILL MEDIATE? -- -
A despatch from Berlin states that ac-
cordingt to semi-offlcial advices Austria
and Germany haye declared that they do
not deem the present state OF affairs one
to induce them to offer their mediation
to either belligerent, yet they would sup
port vigorously an offer of mediation
from any other Power. .I
WILL ENGLAND STEP IN?
The Times leader urges very strongly
that England should offer mediation,
with the concurrence of the other neu-
tral Powers. Offers of mediation couid
be based on the recommendations made
by the Constantinople conference. In this
connection the Nelos' Bucharest CORES
Dondeut says peace is impossible until
the Turks are completely crushed. The
war has become a dyneFtic one for the
Romauoffs as much as the Franco Prus-
sian war was for the Napoleons. If the
Gar entered Moscow after concluding
an unsatisfactory peace, it would have
to ha at the noint of the bayonet. This
should be we'll known abroad az IL Is In
Russia. D.. q
