Hundreds of Turks Mowed Down by Every Russian Vol- ley. &ilfi @fihlmm& o will see, as did the Turks, rows of the same black mouths gaping straight into your face. Above, below, on either hand, are Russian in- trenchments. The Tarks saw these, and, to do them justice, did not falter. Up the winding road marched the solid columns. In the front ranks were men USED TO MOUNTAIN WARPARE,— men who had hunted Montenegrins through their wildest fastnesses. Word was given to charge, and, with savage yells, Suleiman’s veteran butchers sprang to the attack, but those black-mouthed guns were not there for nothing. They broke forth IN ONE LONG GRY that was echoed from batteries on the hill- tops on every side, and re-echoed from the forest of Russian rifles that were suddenly thrust over the redoubts. The Russian fire The Mountain Sides Covered. | was so well planned and exocuted that for & with the Dead and Dying. Piles of Corpses Obstruct the Narrow Road of the Defile.

THE DEADLY DEFILE. SCHIPEA. [By Cable to The Chicago Tridune.] Loxpoy OFrIcE oF ThE CHIcAGo TRmMUNE, No. 6 ParoravE Prace, Sreanp, Aug. 26—1 a. m.—For five days the Balkans have re- echoed an almost continuous roar of cannon- ade, and smoke-wreaths are still twining around the jagged peaks and crags that line the Schipka Pass. The whole of the strange story of the battle in the heart of the mount- aing WILL NEVER BE TOLD, for eye-witnesses were few, and the officers and soldiers of the line were alike too deeply interested in maintaining their own positions to take note of the general progress of the fight and incidents which would give color to any subsequent narrative. Latest dispatches from your correspondent give a more vivid account of the successive engngements than we have yet had. 'When Gourka re-entcered Schipkn Pass, after the famous raid almost’ to Adrianople, he occupied a number of intrenchments ORIGINALLY CONSTRUCTED BY THE TURKS, but abandoned by them soon after the Rus- sians penetrated into Roumelia. These re- doubts of earth and loose stone are situated ench side of a-narrow river bed which formed a road, and are placed at advan- tageous points for a distance of two or thres miles. It was these which Gourka re- ferred to in Bucharest when he said they conld be held AGAINST THE COMBINED TURKISE ARMIES by 10,000 men. The great General himsclf, as is known, left his commsnd to take charge of the Imperial Guard, now being mobilized in Russia. Gens. Drouschinsky and Leuchtengers were placed in joint com- mand until Radetschky should arrive with reinforcements. After fortifying the pass with sach guns as they had, seven in num- ber, after a long march the Hussians lay upon theirarms and WAITED FOB THE ATTACE. which they momentarily expected from Suleiman Pasha, The latter, however, in- stead of following them immediately up, sent around alarge force through Hainkoi Pass to attack them from the north, while he, with twenty battalions, was to fall upon them simultaneously from the south; but he misealculated, and found himself OPPOSED BY THE RUSSIANS not far from Kezanlik, while 'Salih Pasha enconntered a part of the Thirteenth Corps near Gobrova. On Tuesdsy morning Suleiman had ad- vanced s far as the first line of redoubts in the pass, having graduslly beaten back the Russian outposts after a series of skirmishes. Then i THE RPAL BATTLE BEGAN. Do you see. that long, narrow, crooked channel worn through solid rocks by the swift torrent, which, after completing its work ages ago, dwindled away into a petty brook? Do you sce how the chasm is widened here and there, allowing * PATCHES OF VEEDURE to obtain a slender foothold, and even clam- ber up the lower slopes of the rocky wall, while o few fir-trces stretch their bare arms lielplessly over the cliffs far above? Look closer, and among the dark green firs you will seo stall darker objects, which gradually resolve into BLACE MOUTHS OF CANNOX. Gaze shead of you at that ugly heap of debris il‘llf whore the rosd turns, and you few moments the Turks were beaten back, but gathered themseclves, and,” clambering over the dead bodies, PRESSED FORWARD. Men fell by hundreds, and in falling hin- .dered their living comrades. Frantic with rage, the Turks rushed to their death, for the Russian rifiemen behind the trenches coolly movwed them down, until the road was liter- ally paved with corpses. e ‘The Montenegrin regulars suffered most, but not until two battalions had been cut to picces did Suleiman order his favorite troops to withdraw. ) A COUNCIL OF OFFICERS washeld. The blood of the Turks was on fire, and it was determined to take the re- doubts at all hazard, The men needed urging forward. Battalion after battalion charged with all the impetuosity and reck- lessness for which the Moslems are noted. Time after time they were repulsed with tremendous slsughter. When darkness set in, no Ieg than 2 THREE THOUBAND DEAD BODIES ‘were piled up on one another in the narrow defile, and the Bussians were still uncon- quered. . At daybreak on Wednesday morning it was evident to tho Russians that the Turks ware about to adopt another style of attack, for hundreds of men were seen digging and throwing up breastworks. The experience of the previous day had taught the Turkish commander that the Russians were dangerous foes. A TWO BATTERIES WERE MOUNTED before noon, and from these shot and shell were poured into the Russian dofenses with considerable effect. Ab the same time 8 corps of workers were busy digging zigzag trench- es through which the men might be able to advance under the Russian guns, but the latter speedily transferred their light artil- lery so as to . COMMAND THE PITS, and no serious attack was made. . Affoirs began to sssume s critical shape,. | however, for the Russians were in greatly inferior force, and cpuld pot endure a regu- lar siege. Their hope now lay in reinforce- .ments. The Krapp guns of the Turks that day again asserted their superiority over any other cannon, as the Bussians suffered A LOSS OF SEVERAL HUNDRED MEN, while the Turks remained quite out of reach. Anticipating that Drouschinzky might be reinforced, Suleiman, on Thursdsy morning, renewed the direct assaults. The fighting was begun as early 8s' 5 o'clock. In the midst of a terrific cannonade, with desperate courage the Turks advanced along the trenches, which gave so little shelter that they finally abandoned them and dashed across the open space and up the sides of the redoubts. N THREE TDIES THEY WERE REPULSED, but the Russians were greatly exhausted, and could not hold out much longer. Just ag they wero despairing, and ready to_yield, a fresh battalion of Turks swarmed up the field with fierce yells, but they were respond- ed to by stift louder shouts as Radetzky's troops appeared on the other side of the in- trenchments and hurled themselves upon the fated asspilants. THEY WERE JUST IN TIME. An hour later, and the Turks would have had the Russian positions and been masters of the situation at Schipka Pass. It was one of the dramatic events of the war,.and as such will go down in history. Our correspondent, who accompmuied RBadetzky, estimates the Turkish losses during these threo days' fighting at 6,000 men, while the Russians lost nearly 1,000 in killed and wounded. The very latest dispatches indicate that the fighting is still going on. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. To the Watern Associated Press. LoxpoN, Aug. 25.—The Turks fn strong force violently attacked Schipka Pass an Tues- day on three sides. All the onslaughts were repulsed. At 9 o'clock in the evening a rifle corps reinforcement stormed the beights on the Russian rignt, and desperate fighting continned till nudnight, when an eclipse of the moon stopped the fighting. The Russians maint.alned all their positions, notwithstanding the Turk- ish numerical superiority and cross-fire. The Rusmans have now fought four days the whafe of Sulciman Pasha’s army without partaking of rest or warm nourishment. Further consideralie reinforcements were expected during the night The . fighting_Friday was tonfined toa lively cantonade. The Tarkish lefc wing, threatening* the Russian rear, has been driven from ita po- sition. All quiet at Loftscha and Plevna. Suléiman Pasha telegraphs confirminz the re- port of Wednesday's desperate fighting without decisive result: *‘Fighting was resumed Thurs- dny. The Russians were completely surronnd- ed. We command their line of retreat to Gab- rona. To-morrow a decisive assault will be made. As the Russians bave not profited by darkness to retreat, they risk being all ap- tured.”? SENSATIONAL STORY. MARSHAL BAZATNR THE LENO OF PLEVEA. Naw Yorx, Aug. 25.—The Army and Navy Journal of yesterday publishes the following: «]t is coufidently asserted in England from. PRICE FIVE CE private information that Osman Puasha is none other than that celebrated fugitive from French prisons, Marshal Fraocois Ochilre Bazaine. Ba- zaine was always an active and stirring man, and the circumstances of his public trial in France were such as to shut htm out froma career in -any army of Christian Europe. Like most" French officers of rank, he had served in Algeria, and in so do- ing acquired a considerable kumowledgze of Arabic and of the Arabs. Besides this, he served in the Crimean war in command of the Foreign Legion, and afterwarda as French .Gov- ernor of Sebastopol. During that period he naturally made many Turkish acquatntances, and thercfore there is nothing more natural than that he should go to Turkey in the hour of hisneed. Itis mo secret that Bazaine wasa strong Bonapartist, and that his treason to France in the interest of the late Emperor is indulgently looked on by the Imperial Govern- ment. 1n Turkey, where Bazaine’s master was the best friena of the Sultan, Bazaine would be received with open arms by those of his friends, who koew his value in any capacity of trained soldier. That he should have concealed his identity with the utmost care is equally natural, and iad not war come it is possible he might have concealed it till his death, but war with Russia, his antagonist of twenty years ago, could not fail to bring Osman Pasha in contact with the people who knew Gen. Bazaine as-Governor of Sebastopol. Whether the secret leaked out through some Russian officer prisoner in his hands, or some English or French attache who had served in the Crimea ,and recognized Osman Pasha, is uncertain, but the character of his fighting at Plevna, a stub-" born, defensive battle, ia curiously like the first day at Gravelotte, though the difference of forve on the encmies’ side led him toa bappier issue.” GENERATL.

The Russians were repulsed along the whole line, and suffered heavy loss.
