ADMIRAL HOBART PAsHA.-Admir-
al Hobart Pasha. of the Turk sh navy,
whose exploit in running by the Rus
sian batteries at Galatz was told in
yesterdays cable dispatches, is well
known in Washington. He was one of
the most successful and most annoy
ing OF the blockade runners of the late
civil war, in which service he was EN-
ployed by the formerly wealthy but
recently bankrupt London firm Alex
ander Collie IL Co. Admiral Hobart
was captain in the British navy, and
took advantage of leave of absence
granted him by the English govern
ment to go into the blockade running
business for Collie & Co. When this
matter came to the knowledge of the
Lords of the Admiralty he wa sus-
pended from his rank in the British
navy. Thereupon he entered the
Turkish service, and, besides being
invested with the rank of admiral, was
made pasha by an imperial firman.
he next became conspicuous in check
ing the rebellion ia Crete, where his
knowledge of the blocked running
business was of great service to him
In preventing the Greeks from fur.
nlshing supplies of arms and ammun-
ltion to the insurgents. By subsequent
decree in council of the Lords of the
Admiralty he has been restored to his
rank and number in the British navy

AT PLBvNA.
LONDON, Dec. 12.-Further details Of
the great Russian victory at Plevna arc
given, and the fight is pronounced one
OF the most terrible ones ON record. No
quarter was claimed or given. When
the first redoubts were captured not a
prisoner was taken. St0rm!ng column
then advanced on the inner lines, wher Q
the main force OF OSman Pasha's army
was massed. The Ottoman chief, seeing
That further resistance would be USE
less, ordered a retreat norLhwards
towards Widdin. At this critical mo-
ment the Russo-ROumanian field artil-
lery reserve advanced as far as the
heights Immediately commanding the
upper portion OF Plevna, and opened an
eutiiading fire, which made terrible
havoc among the Turkish troops in the
valley below, who were proceeding to
attack the positions just occupied by
the enemy. The Russian batteries were
| attacked over and over again, but in
vain, the object Of these repeated on
| slaughts being to divert attention from
| the main body that was advancing in
| the opposite direction.
In the heat Of the fray Osman Pasha
| placed himself at the head of his troops
and pressed forward as tar as Oponeson
situated about three miles from PleVna,
with every hope of breaking through the
Russian lines. But before be could dc
so he was met by the Russo r Juma nian
reserves. Oponesch lies on The right Of
a high road that borders the Vid, and a
large reserve force had been posted
there, in expectation that Osman Pasha
| would attempt retreat on Widdin
This force was well supported by artil
lery that had been placed on the heights
in front Of Dolny Etropol. 1t was In the
plain between OpOnesoh and Dolny
Etropol that Osman Pasha and his
brave followers met with their disaster
| The Russian guns swept down whole
companies, ana the ground was soon
covered with dead and dying. Here
| loo, Osman himself was badly wounded
in the hand, aud fell senseIess from his
horse, receiving other injuries from his
| fall. Seeing their commander h0rS d,
combat, and possibly supposing him te
have been killed, the Turks began TO lay
down their arms. The Russians had al
ready entered PisvAa. Victory was Ii
