The Horrors of Plevna.

SICKENING SIGHTS-TURKISH CRUELTY.
New YORK, Dec. 90. Details of the
condition of Plevna when captured con-
firm thereported horrors there.
The famished dogs were feeding on
the cOrpses of the dead and the bodies
of still living wounded. The savage
howls of the greedy brutes as they tore
the putrid flesh of the dead or crunched
the bones between their teeth, and the
cries and grOans of the wounded as they
vainly struggled with the dogs, might
be heard for miles around and made
the soul sick. Birds were pecking at
skulls, hopping from body to body with
beaks and plumage besmeared with
human blood and screaming with fiend-
ish delight. Dogs fought among them
selves, and bird struggled with bird fer
possession of a morsel of human flesh,
and the most indescribable horror pre-
vailed. In one house alone 81 dead
and SO wounded Turks were found,
some of the former half decomposed
and putrid, and the wounded in a
condition that can be more easily
imagined than described. Some of
the wounded were able to crawl about
and clntched at odd mOrsels of food
found in the hands of the dead,
devouring it with feversh avidity, but
thousands We're utterly helpless and
awaited death or succOr with a IistIess
fatalism. Eighteen hundred prisoners
were huddled together on the l,sats of
the Vid, and the horrors of their posi-
ton equaled those of the plague. The
living and dead were piled together
prOmiscuously in heaps like wood and
carted away. There were only three
carts available for this work, and the
confusion was indescribabie.
Osman Pasba's bravery is stained and
blackened by his treatment of Russian
wounded that fell into his hands. His
gallant defence of Plevna for a moment
blinded the victors and Europe to the
fact that all prisoners were butchered
by the troops under Osman's command.
