London, Sept. 29.-The Austrian
army Of Galicia is now divided in
three parts. One part is bottled up and
bombarded in the remaining forts of
Przemysl, and another fort there was
captured during the day, rendering
the situation of the garrison more pre-
carious than ever.
Another division of the Austrians is
retreating across the Carpathian
mountains into Hungary, closely pur-
sued by the Russians. And the rest,
excepting those who are fighting
Servians in the southern part of the
empire, are retreating to Cracow. The
Russians everywhere in the Aus
trian theater of war are masters.
They are in force at Tarnow, so miles
east of Cracow.
In the Russians northern fighting
zone, in East Prussia, the situation
is reported to be quite different, al
eyes. A dispatch from Petrograd
says:
Great Battle Commences.
1T Is officially announced that a
great battle has apparently COM
menced between the Germans and the
Russians along the line of the rail-
road Just inside the East Prussian
frontier. The battle line extends from
far to the north of Eydkuhnen
through Goldapp to Lyck. The Ger
mans are declared to be strongly in
trenched and heavily REINFORCED.
THE right wing Of the Austrians
has been driven back beyond the Car
pathians into Hungary. The Aus
TRAN debacle is complete. The Aus
TRAN left has retreated to Cracow.
The Przemyel garrsons situation is
reported to be desperate"
The general direction Of the Rus
sian maneuvers in Galicia continues
to menace about equally the cities of
Vienna and Berlin. The next object
i've, of necessity, is Cracow, from
which strategic point an army may
be launched with equal facility
against the German or the Austrian
capital.
Tells Of Cavalry Charge.
A vivid description Of an encounter
between Russian Cossacks and Aus
trians is telegraphed from Petrograd,
where 1t is published by the Russko
Slovo. 1t follows:
"A considerable force Of Austrians
fell upon the advance guard of Gen
eral Broussilof, which was composed
Of infantry, Cossaks and light artil-
lery.
cat first the Austrian infantry
moved out for the attack. 1t was met
with deadly fire of cannon and
machine guns and the enemy wavered
and fell back.
Maeyars In Daring Charge.
Then the cavalry was sent out.
The flower of the Austro-Hungarian
army, the Budapest guard division
formed of Magyars, galloped furiously
down In close order. 1t appeared
as II nothing could arrest their i'm
petuous course, not even the awful
shrapnel fire of the artillery, which
brought death and destruction to their
ranks, nor even the rain of bullets
from machine guns.
THE Magyars did not hesitate for
moment, but continued to charge
at our trenches.
"All at once the thud of hoofs and
the clatter of steel were heard, and
the Magyars were met by whirl-
wind of Cossacks.
General Kills Himself
AT the end of two hours, of the fine
Budapest guard division not one man
was left and the whole field was
strewn with the enemy's bodies, sew
cred heads, hands and legs and dead
horses.
THE commander of the division,
General Frohreich, could not stand
the disgrace of defeat and shot him
self on the battle field.
