RIJSSIANS ROUTED BY AUSTRIANS Czar’s Troops Arg in Full Eflreat. VICTORY ENDS THREE DAYS 0F FIGHTING Engagement Occurs in Russian Poland, Some Miles North of Galicia, London, Aug. 27.—Official reporte made public in Vienna and transmit- ted from Berlin by wireless to New York declare the Austrians have won a complete victory at Krasnak, in Russian Poland, after three days’ bat. tle. The Russian forces were re: pulsed along the entire front and are in full flight in the direction of Lub lin. This is the first official news of an Austrian advance into Russian ter ritory. Krasnak is about twenty miles north of the Galician frontier. Reports, though not officially con- firmed, that Austria has declared wai on Japan, if true, may have important bearing on the situation in Europe, as a declaration of war on Japan by Austria would give Nippon an excuse for landing troops on European soil, rather than confining its activities solely to the Far East. There has been no official confirma- tion of the reported plan of Italian mobilization, but some significance is attached to the announcement that the American embassy at Rome, through the consuls in Italy, has ad- vised all Americans in Italy to re- turn home while communication be- tween the United States and Europe 18 possible. Frontier Fighting Continues. The Fren b war offce was silent being made. Unofficial military opin- ion, however, is that fighting along the French-Belgian frontier contin- ues. A news dispatch from Paris says that in Lorraine the allied armies have_taken up a combined of- fensive movement and that the sit- uation in the Vosges mountains is unchanged. The battle continues in the region of Luneville, on the French-German frontier. The Russian embassy at London is in receipt of telegrams from the Rus- sian general staff announcing fresh Russian victories against both 'Ger- many and Austria. .The message de- clares that Russian troops now con- trol the whole northern and southern half of Eastern Prussia. The Rus- sian general staff announces the Rus- sian army is marching “silently, but with terrible force,” on Posen. | A dispatch from Antwerp to the | Exchange Telegraph company says the Belgian operations beyond Ma- lines were continued throughout the . night and that Belgian forces succeed- ved in destroying defensive works con- structed by the Germans. Official ! dispatches to the Belgian legation at }Washington confirmed the result of {the engagement near Malines Aug. 24 and 25. The Belgian army, the telegram stated, repulsed three di- visions of Germans near Vilvorde, east of the rafllway from Antwerp to Brussels. German Prince Killed. Official announcement in Berlin tells of the death of Lieutenant General Prince Frederic of Saxe-Meiningen, killed by a shell before Namur Aug. 23. Official advices give no news of the sitvation along the eastern and western front of Germany. According to advices from Rome, General Conrad, chief of the Austrian staff, has notified Italy that reports published in Italy that Austro-Hun- gary had ageoressive intentions on Italy in order to revenge itself for Italy’s failure to participate in the war are absolutely without founda- tion. The authorities at St. Petersburg have issued orders dismissing the German and Austrian sovereigns and princes from honorary colonelships in Russian regiments and depriving them of Russian decorations. This never has been done in any previous war. According to telegrams from Nish, Servia, the losses of Austrians in the battle along the Drina river continue to grow. They are now given as 15,000 killed, 30,000 wounded and 15,000 prisoners. Three hundred thousand Austrians are said to have taken part in this engagement. News dispatches received in Lon- don from Ostend, Belgium, convey the belief that Germany will occupy Ostend and use it as a base for naval operations against England. Ostend is sixty-six miles from the British coast. Diarrhoea Quickly Cured. “I was taken with diarrhoea anc Mr. Yorks, the merhant here, per- suaded me to try a bottle of Cham berlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrho ea Remedy. After takiay one dosc of it I was cured. It also cured oth: ers that T gave it to,” writes M. i Gebhart, Oriole, Pa. That is not a' all unusual. An ordinary attack of diarrhoea can almost invariably bc cured by one or two doses of thi: remedy.

Ten lives were lost. The Princess. Victoria is proceeding | to Seattle with most of the passen- gers and crew of the Admiral Samp- son, which was bound from Seattle to Alaska. It had fifty-six passengers and a crew of sixty-five. The air was heavy with smoke and fog and it is supposed this caused the vessels to collide. The Princess Victoria, bound from Victoria to Seattle, makes no men- tion of damage to itself, in a brief re- port to the owners. NO CAUSE FOR ANXIETY French Report Says Alllel Are Mak ing Progress. London, Aug. 27.—A Havas agency dispatch from Paris says: “The situation in the Vosges is un- changed. The battle continues in the region of Luneville and the French troops are making progress. “On the Luxemburg.frontier and in the district of the Samore river sev- eral unimportant engagements have occurred. The situation in the north- ern districts gives no cause for anx- iety.” Japanese Attack Failed. New York, Aug. 27.—The Japanese attack on Tsingtau, the fortified port of the territory of Kiaochou, has fail ed and the Japanese are preparing for a siege, according to a cable mes: sage received here by Count von Bernstorff, German ambassador to the United States, from the German em bassy at Peking. Russians Take 100 Cannon.

Peking, Aug. 27.—The Japanese forces have landed on Shantung pen- insula to begin their investment of the forts of Kiaochou and the Ger- man concession, according to infor- [gnation reaching the Chinese foreign office. The Japanese landed under a cov- ering fire from the light draft British cruisers, which were able to approach closer to the German position than the dreadnoughts and battleships blockading the port. The forts are reported to have got the range of the British and to have killed ten men and slightly damaged the British war craft. It is reported here that not only have the Germans completely mined their harbor, but they have strewn a line of mines outside, which endan- ger the blockading fleet. In addition the Germans have removed some of their guns in the coast forts to new positions, thus making valueless the maps of the defense possessed by the Japanese. ° Explaining ‘that the Japanese desir- ed to prevent needless loss of life the Japanese minister requested that the Japanese be allowed to operate be- yond the limits of the German con- cession. The Chinese ministry re- fused. ] The Chinese officials have again been assured: that under no circum- stances does;iJapan comsider holding the German concession when captured. The Japanese officials here declare that the onlyiobject in taking it is to remove the German menace to the trade of the Orient and it will be turned back to its lawful owner, China, as soon as possible. EMBARGO IS RELAXED ON FOOD SHIPMENTS New York, Aug. 27.—Further relax- ation of the embargo against the ship- ment of foodstuffs is one of the few interesting. developments connected with the financial situation. From many important points along the At- lantic seaboard freer clearances of grain and other cereals were report- ed, indicating that the railroads are earnestly co-operating in the move- ment. Improvement in this situation, it is generally recognized, will go far to- wards disentangling the many knotty problems which have grown out of the deranged state of the foreign ex- change market. AUSTRIA REASSURES ITALY Denies Aggréssive Intentions Against the Latter. London, Aug. 27.—A dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph company from Rome says that according to advices from Vienna General Conrad, chief of the Austrian, staff, has sent the fol- lowing messxga to the Italian govern- ment: “The report published in Italy that Austria-Hungary has aggressive in- tentions against Ttaly in order to re- venge itself for Italy’s failure to par- ticipate in the war are absolutely without foundation” and are stigma- tized as malignant efforts put forth by a third party.
