FRESU DETAILS OF THAT TENNIDLE BATTLE. (By Cable to The Gdteago Tribune. Lonpon Orrice or Taz Onicaco ‘Trinuxe, Sauusnvny Straver, W.C., Friday, Aug. 3,—4 8, m.—The recent movomonts of tho “Lurks denote a military policy quite different, from that which provailed until three weelas ago. Abdul Kerim left the Sultan's forces scattered over a large territory and-was unablo to act anywhere with effect, Under Mohemed Ali and Suleiman n different system bes been introduced. It {is now the ‘Turks who concentrate, while tho Russians have reason to regrat that thoy have permitted themsolves to distribute their corps over too wide anaron, For the past ten doys: Tirnova has been the point towards which ‘fhe vari- ous Ottoman armios have been tending to converge. ‘'Thither Oaman Pasta was mov- ing whey Gon. Schilderschuldner znct him, near Plevna, To the samo point ‘Mchomed Ali is said *to be marching with natrongcolumn by Eski Juma ond Osman Bazar, From tho south Suleiman Pasha was advanced to Jenistgra to push the Russians back into the Shipks Pass, and cotope! them tosurronder. It is o masterly plan, ond hitherto extraordinarily successful, Further detaila of ~ THE BATTLE BETWEEN LOFTCICA AND PLEVNA aro arriving to-night, and confirm very folly the account of your correspondent. Tho second day's fighting began sat half-past 0, Gen, Skobeloff led on a brigade of Cossacks across the plain bofore Loftohs, which hero widens so -a8 to form o natural fighting ground. A strong division of ‘Turkish in- fantry, omboldoued by the succoss of the pre- vious day, camo out tomeet thom, and a hand. to-haud combat raged with groat violonce for about three hours, when the Turks wore driven back to thelr intronchments. Mcan- while Gen, Krudever was engaging tho ‘Turkish centro, and heavy artillory was nsed effectively upon Osman Pasha's force at Garinos, whilo Gen? Schackofuky attacked the posittons back of the River Vid. All theso operations were going on at onco, ond covoring a territory from ton to fifteen miles in length. Just in tho rear of tho Rugsian contro a broken rango of hills ter- ininated ino single crag, whose rocky face wos shattered and furrowed with shot and shell, Here, unmindful of the fron hail, GEN, KRUDENKR SURVEYED TUK DATILE and issued orders. Looking down the valley, thera was seon in the distance thick rolling clouds from Gon, Bchackoffsky’s guns, Lut their voices were drowned in the londer thunder of tho artillery in front, The Turks from. their carthworke kept up 6 tremendous cannonado, and all: efforta to drive them back wore unavailing, Again and again whole columns of brave men rushed to the charge, but when they returnod thelr ranks were terribly dopleted, ond told the stubbornocas with which the Turks will Aight when Put to the test, The Third and Ninth Battalions sufferod most, After a single sally scarcely one-third of tho men came back, Gen, Schackofleky’s division succecdod about noon in advancing thelr batteries across the neck of land to a ridge trocently occupied by the Turks, and captured tho villago of Nadisova. From this point THR TIDW O& BATTLX TURNED in favor of the Turks, who were spparently tireless in their ferocity, Thoy began a s0- ries of sorties, falling ueck and heely upon the enemy everywhere along the Jincs, . Ut. terly recklesa of their own life, they plunged at the Russian infautry, sabreing them and using even the butts of their muskets, Ag if dranken with the taste of blood, there was no power that could stop their mad onslaught, and tho Russians, wearied with tighting all day on the offensive, were forced gradually back, fighting courageously to the last. As the gloom began to settle upon tho landscape the blazing fires of the cannon died away, and the flower of the Russian army, which had so boastfully marched into Bulgaria with the fiying ben- ners ‘of conqueror4, melted {nto the dorkne as defeated and disheartencd. The. defeat inflicted upon Gon. Kridener’s army, which formed about one-sixth of the Rersian forces sonth of the Dannbe, is MOST MOMENTOUA. It will be noticed that this was not a battle irathe open feld. The Turks chosan posis {aon naturally strong, aud wisely fortified it with defensive works of every kind, so that their troops fought under — shelter. Under theso circumstances there could be no maneuvring. The Russians were led on to attack them whero they were protected in their trenchos, and fell by thousands. Tho :| Jatest authentic report places the total of 4 killed at 6,000; the wounded not yet com. puted. By thus attacking a strongly-defended po- sition Gon. Kradener has rapeated the orror of Gon, Hoinman at Zewin, ‘The losses of an infantry force which attacke troops under shelter and armed with the Martin-Henry rifle must always bo cnormots, CONFIRMED. To the Western Astoctated Press, ConstantinorLy, Aug. 2.—Mr. Layard, the British representative here, has adyicea confirm- Ing the Turkish victurics at Plevna. ‘The Rus- fan right wing, numbering 40,000, was all cu-. gaged. RUSSIANS NOCTED. e Bucwanzst, Aug, 2.—One hundred thousand troops wero engaged on each aldo at Plerna. ‘The Russtans were ronted, and poured over Bis- tova bridge, retreating into Roumania. ESKI-SAGURA. Mr. Layard also has news of an important ‘Turkish succces near Eski-Saghra, The Russians lost several guns, and the Turks occupied Eski- Saghra. OFPICLAL. The Porte has the following official dispatch: “Tho Russians on Tuesday attacket Raouf Pasha at Eskt-Sachra. After seven hours’ fight- ing Raouf Pasha retreated apon Kara-Bunar, but Sulelinan Pasha coming up. repulscd the enemy and recaptured Eski-Saghra, capturing several Guns and fuflicting considerable loss on the Rus- slaos.’* NEW COMNINATIONS, Loxpoy, Aug. 2,.—A Tirnova dispatch says tho Russian Grand Duke has already started for Plevna. Preparations are making for a Great effort to retrieve the recent misfortune. The division at Selvi is ordered; to attack Lovatz. It Is reported that they have already taken it, but this {s probably untrue. The position fs evidently serious. Ae long as the Turks hold Plevna the army corps bere cannot be further weakened to re{nforcy Gen. Gourko. There are some doubts whether he will be able to hold his advanced position beyond the Bal- Kans, ‘TE OTHER atDE. Loxpon, Aug, 2—A Times Aispatch from Bucharest says persons of bleh standing arriy- ing from Simuttza state that tho Ruaslans occu- plea Plevna on Aug, 1, and routed Oeman,Pasha’s army. <A Vienna spovint reports that a aimi- jar rumor has beon tolegraphed there. It fs to be noted that the Bucharest correspondent. of the Times is the same who recenUy ane" nounced, also upon the authority of high per- sonages, tho defeat of Ahmed Eyoub Pasha, which PROVED ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS, Morcover, the detatiod account from the Dally Neva’ correspondent with the Russian army be- fore Plevna shows that tho great battle af Plevna, the report of which was cabled yester- dey, of which he was an: cye-wituees, really oo- curred July 81, so ‘the Russians could hardly, o8 alleged by the Jimes’ Bucharest correspoudent haya had tine to receive rein- forvemeuts from Tirnova, aud resume the offensive the following day. Tho News, in its detailed narrative of the hattloof Plevna, gives the Russtau forves as 32,000 infantry, sixty feld guns, and three brigades of cavalry. It says this defeat makes tho Russian bold in Bulgaria EXTREMELY PREVAROUS, and must compel the withdrawal of the troops from sotne other point where they are nearly as badly needed to beat the Turks at Pleyna, Beaten they must be, anid that speedily, If the Ryssian army ts not forthwith to retire in- Gloriously futo the principalities, A Bucharest correspondent telegraphs that the Russtan foreo recently engaged at Plevna hava retired beblnd the Osma iver. The Sixteenth Division of the Fourth Corps is cross- {ng ot Simnitza, and will probably reinforce then. All ecatterod Russian troops now in tho principalitics have been SUMMONED INTO NULGARIA. Tunderstand the Turks are not advancing eastward from their Plevna position, but are passing stroug forces from Plevna northward towards Louca, Berlin papers consider that the battle puts an end to all hope of terminating the war this year, and lessens tho chances of interyoution by Aus- tris or England. — MORE FIGHTING, MASOHAD.

INSURRECTION, The news fs published here of an Insurrection- ory inovement agalost the Turks at Greyna, in Albania, The Turkish ficet hos returned to Sada Bay, CONSTANTINOPLE, A RELIGIO’S FEAST. = ° Translated from the French, Prana, Jone 1.—Althongh M. Auguste Cholsy has graphically deHneated Turkish manners and customs {n his recent work on that subject, strangers visiting Constantinople are astonlaled at sizhts which take place in this city of domes and minarets, On my arrival here I fuund all the public offices closed and great excitement on every hand, which J. soon discovered was on account of the approaching fcast of the Balram. During tuts festival, all night as well na through out tho day, artillery salutes are heard; crowds run througa tho streets sluging, squeaking on flutes of recdas, beating tambourines, and mahing all kinds of hideous sounds. At Stam- boul, the southern division of Constantinople, the excitement {fs at its climax, and. when the mountebanks iinese thelr discordant nolscs with the orchestras-champetres, TUR VERY DOGS ARE PRIGUTENED, and mingle thelr howls with all this uproar In a fearful inanner. The eyono less than the car 1s unmercifully strained, Mussclmans, and women are all in new attire, with dresses of einnamon-yellow, pletache-green, brick-red, sky- blue, rose-tendro; and, as thelr reliiion ortains that all bellevers must renew their wardrobe on the fete of the Batram, the effect is that of a fancy ball, The Bairain fs the Christmas of, the Turks, and, according to the adage, “ Alinaly vermaly* (take and ive) congratulations and presents are exchunged. The wotnen generally recelye perfumes and bonbons. For a long tine the clegant hanoums, or Jadfes, have pre: ferred Veau de Lubin, the ea de Cologne of Jenu Maric Farina, the extracts made by Rim- nel for the handkerchief, and the poudre de riz of Piver, to the ottar of rosca and other Oriental odors used by thelr anices- tors, Poetry loses something by this, but Eu- ropean Industry Is increased. Besides, tlie hanoumns have very little aentlinentality. ubout them. When one offers them a flacon of putn- made, they give in return o pocket-handker- chief, a shirt, or perhaps A Paint OF sTOCKINGs, One of my friends, a young Turk, recolyed in one day forty-two shirts, ifty handkerchiefs, gut several dozens of palrs of stockings.

On the second duy of this fete the ccremony of “kissing hands” takes place, The Sultan, accompanied by all bls Mlolsters and bigh dig: nitaries,—the supe by pray and. thy navy, and the clergy, procee tho Mosque’ of the Six Miuarete of the Sultan Aliined at Stamboul, to muke the usual pniyer on these occasions.

The cause was the arsault on Jay Gould by Maj. For A. Q, Sclover, a well-Rnown operator. some time there bave becn rumors of a break between the two great ball operators, Gould and Keene, and this assault was doubly agitating as a confirmation of the ru- mors, The afiray occurred in Exchange place, just below New atreet. The place is one at which a weak person could with difitculty cs- cape harm if sesailed by one of superior strength, The roadway is narrow and filled with holes. The sidewalks are more ledges, not more than two fect wide, and stecp cellars and areas openlng from the walks are mere pitfalls for the discomfture of the stricken and the ad- vantage of the assailant. Oue of these areas came near being disastrous to Jay Goud, THE ZNCOUNTER between the renowned stock-operator and Maj. Selover happened inthis wise, according to the account In the Zimes: About 11:55 o'clock Mr, Gould turned out of Broad street and walked up Exchange place. At the same time Maj. Sclover was walking down Exchange place on the other side. As soun ‘as he saw Me. Gould ~ ho walked over to and stopped him. A very few words passed between the two brokers. Selover sald: I'l) teach you what ft fs to tell me lies," and grasped Guuld by the lappels of bis coat and shook him. To steady himself, Gould took hold of his oa- esallant’s coat, and a abort struggle took place. Releasing his right hand, Selover dealt his Httle opponent what would have been a terrible blow but for the fact that Gould turned bis bead and the fist of his assailant glanced atone the upper part ot his left cheek. The Major then pushed M18 BLIGHT ANTAGONIST off the narrow roadway and acrosa the bit of On the way he struck him several times on the chest, While backlug and en- deavoring tu ward off Selover's blows, Gould stumbled and fell upon the stoop of No. 05 Ex- change place, The Major, it scema, did not act sidewalk.

Gould's efforts were weak, aud his antagonist soon had him jammed against the front railing, where he shook bim roughly, After this the Major bunt his dimin- utive enemy backward sothat his feet left the ground and his hoad fell agaiuat the front of the house. In this position his body bridged the chasn, which “threatened to be bloody, Gould tried hard to get bis feet upon the ground,, but, in bts convulsive straggivs, made his situation worse by throwing one of his legs over the railing, so that {t dangled {oto the area. In the meantime 8 crowd had gathered, but no onc intervened to prevent what might have ended in murder. Selover continued to press Gould down, and goon had his head against the window-lattice. Then, HOLDING HIM With ONE HAND, he used the other to throw Gould's second log into the mouth of the area.

The struggto had thus far been too intense for cither autagonist to speak loudly, When Gould hung helpless, Selover gave vent to his wrath in words. His first audi- ble utterance was, “Gould, you are a d——dilar!” To this Gould responded in a feeble volce, “Lam not @ Mar.” Having said this, be found strength to cry pitevusly; “Won't somebody take thls man away} UB WILT.

Irvington, onthe Hudson, A gentleman, sald to be @ partner of Mr. Goutd, told a reporter of the Times Mr. Gould's account cf the fracas and tte origin: “Twas passing up Exchange place, when Iwas met by Maj.

In an interview Sclover nays: “Mr. Gontd’s conduct towards me has been stmply nfomous.

Notwithstand- iug the denlala of Keeno and his friends, the opinion is prevalent that they ave suffered largely from Gould's duplicity.
