On the twenty-eighth OF August, the Russians
encountered large masses OF Iekks Turco-
perate resistance. The Russians for six hours
| commanded the position occupied hy 10000
Tekke Tureomans. In the evening the Rus
slams. obtained possession OF the outer on
trenehments, and at night the enemy fled,
losing several thousand.
The Russians lost officers and 1T8 soldiers
