Crossed Frontier Aug. 20.
Our troops in the LOnthk, Dubno
and Proskuroff districts crossed the
frontier on Aug. 20, and marched on
Lemberg for the purpose of thwarting
the Austrian covering movement and
acting against the flank of the enemy.
In the period between Aug. II and
Sept. 3, the Russian left wing advanc-
ed 220 versts (about 147 miles), fight
ing all the time. The bulk Of the hos
positions at Kamenka and Dalitch, Of
fered battle and were thoroughly de-
feated in q desperate contest.
Austrians Lost 10000.
Between Aug. 81 and Sept. /, in
one district of the upper course of the
Guila Lipa alone, where the enemy's
line was broken, the Austrians lost 49,
900 men in killed or wounded.
The retreat of the enemy after his
defeat at Lemberg assumed the char
acter of disorderly fight and panic,
and the Russians took 200 guns, to-
gether with the baggage and tens of
thousands of prisoners. 1t is believed
that the remnant of the second Aus
trian army is now no longer of any
