RUSSIANS At BAY
NEAR PRzEMYSL
Offer Resistance to Pursuers at
Medyka Heights, Ten Miles
Eastward.

LONDON, June 5.-While reports from
both Berlin and Vienna tell of street
parades and other Manifestations of ex-
uitation over the fall of Przemysl, the
official statements record the progress
of the German and Austrian armies in
following the retreating Russians.
During the day." says the official
Austrian communication, "Przemysl
was cleared of the enemy, who Is re-
treating in an easterly direction. Offer
ing resistance on the height southwest
of Medyka (ten miles northeast of
frzemysD. The Austro-German troops
there are attacking.
Meanwhile the army of the Austrian
Gen. Boehm- Ermolli has succeeded in
breaking through the Russian defensive
position from the south and advanced in
tie direction of Mosciska ION the
frzemsyl-Lemberg railroad. twenty
miles east of PrZemSy), within a short
distance of that town.
On the other hand, reports from Pet
rograd all minimize the Importance of
the loss of Przemysl. 1t is regrettable,
the Russians say, that they were unable
to hold the fortress. but they had fore.
seen for more than week that it must
be given up, and they had made all
preparation. removed everything remov.
able. and systematically blown up the
forts and bridges before evacuating it.
The official statement of the Russian
general staff says: I'VE carried away
from Przemysl the materials taken from
the Austrians. and on Tuesday we re-
moved the last of our batteries. The
following night our troops evacuated the
forts on the north and west Of the town
and formed a more concentrated posi-
tion to the east"
Semiofficial statements from Petro-
grad, supplementing this. declare that
Przemysrs fortifications have been so
nearly demolished that the town is of
little more value or Importance now
than any other Galician town on a river.
