It was dotermined at 12 o'clock to deliver A COUNTER-FLANK ATTACK' on thoright edge of the Turkish ridge sim- ultancously with a ronowed nt;_ennniu attack, The tirailleurs and men from below,two bat- talions of the Gitomer regiment, each having ono company bohind as support, emerge {from the partial sheltor of the - peak at the TRussians’ first position, and march in com- pany columns across the more level grass land at the head of the intervoning valley. ‘They have no great dip to traverse, and the way is good marching-ground, but the Turk- ish mountain guns from a battery higher up onthe wooded peak of the Turkish poaitions, ARE READY FOR THEM, s alao is the Turkish infantry on the Turk. ish right edge of the ridge. The fire sweops through them, and many a gallant fellow goes to grass, byt the battalions press stead- 1ly on, and dash into the wood at double- quick. The Russian artillery lad done its best Lo propare for this battery on the peak, had fired hard while thoy were crossing over, and aressrve battery near Khan, down below, ‘HAD COMYE INTO ACTION, but now the artillery had ceased, for thers ‘was danger in tho blind firing into the wood whon our men were in it, The arbitrament had to be left to the rifla and bayonet. The crisis of the battlo had now arrived. It remained for us bt to gaze into the per- ploxiug mystery, the forest, and hopo Yer- vently, The fighting between the infantry on the Turkish front and flank lasted fora long hour, and " BAGED WITH OREAT FUBY, but it was clear that the Rusxians were grad- ually gaining ground. 'The Turks were seen withdrawing this battery of mountain guns nearor the right flank, & sure sign that dan. ger monaced it if it stayed longer. Then tho left battery followed thew example, a sure sign, too, that the tiraillours aud bre- anskis, who hyd gained the ridge on the Turkish left, also ronn}nod, bat the central peak Turkish position that carried the ridge was ours, and onr right flank wounld be set free from the dangerous pressure on it.

Raditzky in persou The correspondent says: %The Turks endcavored to retake it, but were repulsed. As well as thus clearing his flauk,” Gen. Raditzky slso pushed back the ‘Turks {rom bls frout, Tho Turks will doubt- less renew the attack to-morrow (Sundsy) with fresh troops, probably both in front zud on the fanks, pressing ou through the narrow and dif- ticult pass on the east ¢lde of Schipks, leading down into Triavna; but [ know<that the Grand Duko Nicholss bas ordered a brigudgto that point, with moro troops to follow; also that re- inforcements are streaming on to Schipks. The position of Gen. Raditzky has broken the dan- Eerous pressure on his flanks. All dangeris not yet over, but the stmosphere looks much clearer.” RUSSIAN LOSS. The correspondent cstimates the Russlsn loss on Friday at 1,500 killed and wounded. * NUSSLAN OFFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. 8. PaTagsnpng, Aug. 97.—The news from Constantinople «noounciug the cspture of sev- eral forts in Schipka Pass i3, according to pres- eat information, unfounded. The following offictul intelligence (s published: “According to the Iatest Bows Lrom beadquarters, our troops have not ylelded an {nch of their positions fn 8chipka Pass." . NOT CONFPIRMED, Comstaxtivorle, Aug. 27.—Up to 11:10 o'clock this forenoon, no official dlspatch has been recefved confirming the announccment telegraphed yesterday by the Governor of Adrianople that Sulelman Pastia had captured Bchipka Pass, THE RUSSIANS CONFIDEXT. Loxpow, Aug. 37.—From the manner in which the Russians are pushing forward rein- forcementa to SchioRa :Pass it scems they aro confldent of being ablejto resist any sdvance from the River Lom or blmlfi Bazar. , BUNDAY)§ PIGNT. ¢ Loxnox, Aug. 27.—A Russlan offlclal balletin dated Gorny-Studen, Bunday evenlug, says: Yesterday our troops Tnaintalued thelr posi- tlons In Schipka Pass. Durlngthe day's fizhting, which lasted from 9 fa the morning until 10 in the eventog, we fost thirly officers and 400 men killed and wonnded. 'During the night the Turks rencwed the engagement with fresh troops, and fighting was .still going on desper- ately at noon Sunday. When the dlspatch contalnfog this information left the Pass tho Ruselsns still maintained their posilons. THE OERERAL SITUATION, Lownox, Aug. 27.—A correspondent at Bla- tova telegrapha on Mondayas follows: “Flaht- Inge In still going on at Schipka Pass. Radetzky coutinues to maiatala his ground, although his losses are serious. 1. hold to my conviction that Schipka {s eafe, and that thus fs defeated the great strategic scheme of the Turkish leaders to hem the Russlans within the large tete de pont in Bulgarls, with the ultimate latent of driving them over the Dau- ube. The noxt fow days will be full of Inter- est.

Unfortunately, the roports that come to us are meagre, and, with tho exception of the greatengagemont at Schipka Pass, no do- tails have reached London,: Numerous bat- tles have been taking place. Even regard- ing thajssue of the Schipka battle there is soma uncertainty, owing to some conflicting reporta from Turkish and Rusaian sources. The upshot of six days’' flerce activity Is, that the Turks have inflicted a loas on their opponents, especially in officers; that they have taught the Muscovites to re- spect them in battle, whether in attack or defense ; apd that they have compelled the Russian staff to divert at least the strength of the entire corps from places where their presence was essqntial to . the oxecution of other. schemes. Tho Turkish telegrams announcing the capture of Schipka Pass ' ABZ NOT CONTIRNED, Fighting in the pass, which was proceed- ing on Bundsy notwithstanding the previous roports of its capture, had at the and of last week become, in the words of the Daily News' correspondent, a question of endur. ane, but, plainly, it rested with the Turks, inorder (o take. posséssion of the pass, to turn upoh something more sclontific than thu‘ mere *slogging " watch into which it was degenerating. The forces on both sidus were sustaining serious losses, the Turks, in endeavoring to get posssssion of the heoights which command ‘the flank and rear of the Russian position, and the Russians in striving to provent them. The correapondent 'describes the de. meanor of both combatants, who certainly |- deserved a belter fate tlan to be brought up for . 5 MUTUAL ELAVGBTEZR, Fridsy the Turks, who ‘were nearly all ni- zams (trmned regulars), fought with stab- born valor, and 'would uob own themselves beaten. 'There were very fow Turkish pris. oners. The correspondent set. down the Russian loss on Fridsy at 1,500, and the ‘Turkish loss at something less. 1f Sulsiman Pasha is able to bring up one division after avotherin groater nuubers than the Russians, therq is no reason why that the Turks should ‘not outflauk thelr en- omy in the pass, although they will certainly not do so without miore desperate fighting, The News correspoudent expresses a de- cided opinion that the general disposition of Russian troops in Bulgaria is essentially faulty, and that they . DR A MIITAXE when they undertook to hold the ground they have gained by fosming a sort of ring fonce wound it. It would have been better to conocontrate their forces in one or two central positions, as, for instance, an army at Timova and another at Gorny.Stu. doni, now the ' hoadquarters of the Grand Doke Nicholas, with & strong dotachment thrown forward into Gabrova to provide for the defonse of Schipks Pass. This plan would certainly have given the Russian army a freedom which it has lost by ths arrangement which was adopted. It is quite true the aim of the Russian commandor ought not to bo to hem in the Turkish armies in de. fensive positions, but to tempt them to ven. turo into open places, and then, in pitched battles, to conquer them, but whether this odvantago wonld have been gained in the way suggested, can only be conjectursd. That . THE TURKS BOTH OAN AND WILL FIOET IN OPEN rizLD when circumstances favor and an sdequate advantage is to bogaingd, is well known and has Pecn shown in this struggle for Schipkn Pass, but that which most tompls them s the local Russian wenkness® Osman Pasha, with superior forces, doos not attack ihe Russions ot Pradin or Trestrenik. The correspondent thinks that, for the Russian army, the whole crisis is virtually pasaed, but that THERZ HAS DEEN A REAL CRISIS nobody doubts. flowing in a sleady stream, In these cir- cumstances, although the time for resuming an energetic offensive mny be delayed, the sdvauco of Mohomet All Pasha should be checked, and the troops ahould be forthcom- ing to hold Schipka Pass, ASIA MINOR. TROSPECT OF LIVELY WORK. Loxpoy, Aug. 27.—Renewed fighting In Asta is immincut. Russisn reinforcemants continuo to arrive at Alexandropol. Twelve thousand men and eighty-cight guas have reached Erivan for the reinforcement of Gen. Tergukassofl. SUNDAY'S BATTLE. f A correspondent at Kurukdars, telegraphing Bunday, gives fuller details of Saturday's bat- tle. Ha says the heights of Kiziltepe, which were captured by the Turks, were only Leld by one Russlan battalion. The Turks swarinel wupon | the mountains, protected by slege-guus, which they used with terrible effect. They made a desperate flank - movement from the direction of Kars to capturo Kurnkdara. The Russians had thetr teots loadod on wagons ready to move, but the perfect diseipline and admirable management of tho ofticers, together with the flerce Oghting, saved the day. The f{nfantry contest at the Bouthaton village and fort was terrible, the Turks retiring at sundown with leavy lusscs, ‘I'no Russians . lost before Kurakara two Geuer- als and cight officers killed, 237 soldiers killed, and 712 wounded. Descrters say the Tarks lost 8,000 men. : SUCCESS AND DEFEAT. ~ Loxpox, Aug. 27.—The Turks took Kizim- tepe, but in attempting to take Karakdora they wero entirely defeated.
