PETROGRAD REPORTS
REVERSE FOR TEUTONS
Claims the Austro- German Forces Have
Been Hurled Back Between the
Dneister and Pruth Rtvers-Italians
Attack Frontier Defenscs.

LONDON, June 70, 1902 p. m. -
The forces of Russians are at bay IN
Galiaia, to the west of Lemberg,
wrcte, with her vulnerable flank well
protected by the marshes Of the Dneis-
ter, she will defend Lemberg, the cap
ital Of Galicia.
Neither side, however, reports mueh
activity during the past 2f hours, the
outstanding claim being from Petro-
grad, to the effect that the Austro-
Germans have been hurled back into
Austrian territory between the Dneistr
river and the river Pruth.
The French, according TO the latest
news. are holding the Germans to the
north of Arras, They now occupy
positions ON both sides of the Souchc2
and may soon make the German posi-
tion on this front untenable, in the
opinion of British observers.
Italy is attacking the Austrian
frontier defenscs with energy, but the
only evidence of an advance is the re-
port of the shelling of the railroad
station at Goriziz, a fact which would
indicate that the Italian batteries have
been considerably advanced.
Rumors as plentiful as contradictory
come from the Balkans that tho allies
have offered Bulgaria generous terri
torial terms, which special despatches
from Sofia declare to be absolutely
satisfactory
it is evidence that no actual alliance
vet has been signed nor win be unit
