LONDON Sept. io.---Perticulars Of the
fighting In the Eastern theatre OF the war
are contained In dispatches reaching Lon
don to-day from Russia. Thousands OF
men are said 10 have been wounded In the
fighting around Lemberg. principally Aus
tr!an cavalry encountered In Yermeiintsi.
The Russian soldiers are said to admire
the elaborate uniforms of their enemies,
particularly their steel protected helne t,
and shoulder suards. All agree that tho
Austrian troops fought only half hesrtedly
and We're easily induced to surrender.
The Cossacks did splendid work. and
such was the ferceness of their attack
that groups of twenty or thirty Cossacks
often captured Austrian detachments OF
from 100 To $50 men. The enemy seems
increasingly reluctant to meet these in
trepid horsemen, especially those armed
as lanccrs.
Turnips n1d other vegetables torn from
the fields are found in the pockets OF
many OF Tho Austrian wounded. The
Russians have been informed by captives
that they lacked food. Wounded Aus
