[By Cable to The Chicago Tribune.] Yoxpox Orrice oF TeE Curcaco TRIBUNE, G PsrgrAVE Prace, Straxp, Sept. 9—fa m. —The Russians seem to have been routed nt Kazelev through the operation of the same cause that led to the defeat of Osman Pasha at Loftcha. In both instances the defense was so vastly outnmmnbered by the attack that resistance was quite hopeless. It isnow an interesting question whether Mchemet Ali or the Grand Duke will be the first to turn their respective successesto account. ‘The former has contented himself hitherto by FORTIFYING THE POSITIONS WON, and it does not secm likely he will follow up his advantage immediately. It may be that the receut fighting nlong the Lom Valley was in- tended as a diversion against the rear of the cnemy tomake him desist from his purpose of erushing Osman Pafha. Whether this can be the case or not, the resolute though gradusl advanc of the Shumla_army has unquestionably placed the Russians IN A CRITICAL POSITION already, and, in case of 8 successful attack on Biela, the Grand Duke will have to fall back from Plevna to save his communication with Sistova. Everything depends just now upon the relative quickness and audacity of the antagonists. They are now so close to each other in ail parts of the field that any daymay decide the fate of the campaign.’ 1IN ASTA MINOR. the hostile Generals continue to watch one another from their intrenchments, but neither cares to make 8 move which wounld give the enemy advantage ground. Practi- cally the campaign in Asin is already at an end. . BATTLE BEFORE PLEVNA. To the Western Associated Press. CoxsTANTINOPLE, Sept. 8.—A battle was begun st Plevna on Friday morning. The result is unknown. No details have reached here yet. LOFTCHA. ITS DIPORTANCE AS A STRATEGICAL POINT. Loxpox, Sept. 8.—Accounts of the fighting at Loftcha sent. from Bucharest by some cor- respondents turn out to be pure fictions. The Russian successs is vot of such propor- tious as at’ first represented. Loftcha is an open town in a valley important chiefly as covering the roads to Trajan and Sclvl. The use the Russisns will be able to make of the position must depend on their driving back the Turks on the northwest of Loftcha. The cap- ture of Loftcha must be regarded rather as part of AN IMPORTANT SYSTEM OF OPERATIONS than an independent achiesement. Perhaps the Russians are trying to finish with Osman Pusha Defore it becomes indispensable to meet Me- hemet Ali Pasha’s advance. It scems beyond 3 doubt that the Czarowitz's army has been great- 1y weakened, and that, after several important suceesses, Mchemet Ali now threatens the line of communication with Tirnova, while Achmet Eyoub Pasha, operating from Kustchuk, threat- ens not only the new bridze at Pyrgos but even the Sistovacrossing. Every preparationis mak- ing and every nerve is strained to bring com- plete destruction to the Turkish army at Plevna. TURRISII REPORT, CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. §.—The agcount re- ceived here of the capture of Loftcha states that it was attacked by 40,000 Russizus. It wus gallantly defended by eight Turkish battalions, Who were foreed to give way before superior numbers. They retreated in good order, tak- ing with themn the Mussulmaninhabitants. The dispatch adds that Osman Pasha had left Plev- Dna with twenty-cight battalions to retake Loft- chia. ASIA MINOR. ON THE DEFENSIVE- Lospoy, Sept. $.—A telegramfrom Erzeroum says the Russians are coufiufug themselves to a defensive attitude. The Russian centre is brinzing up artillery from Alexandrople to de- fend their camp at Baldirval fn the event of an attack by Mukhtar Pasha, while on the left Gen. Terzukassoff is fortifygz his positions near Igayr to command tue roads leadivg to the plain of Eriran. GENERAL. GERMANY AND SERVIA. LoxpoN, Sept. 8.—A speciul from Belgrade says that in diplomatic circles it 13 reported that the German Consul Geperal confers very often with Prince Milan. Itis asserted that Germany entirely approves of Servia’s participation in the war, and is prepared to guarantee her status quo in the event of defeat. Italy seems to ba going with Germany. Austria still keeps up the position of strict reserve. INTERVENTION RUMORS. Rumors of intervention, circulated in the early part of the weck, have druwn forth answers from the Cabinets of London, Berlin, and Vien~ na, that the timeis not yet arrived. It isfelt that, since for the settlement of the Eastern questiou war has been appealed to, a solution, if ot final, at least of some duration, can only be arrived at by the decided superionity of one or the otherof the contending parties, or else by the thorough exhaustion of both, and the conviction is brought home to both that nefther of them is able to solve the problem by sheer force. Auy premature attempt to inter- fere,and thus prevent s decislon, could only lead to hollow peace and to the prospect of see- ing the strugele rencwed after a comparatively short time. The tremendous sacrifice of life and property alrcady made would not then have advanced the solutivn of the Eastern difficnt ties ope step. ITALY. A telegram from Rome denies that Ttaly would approve of Servi’s entry into the war The [talian Government continues to counse) Servia to be prudent. TIIERS. THE FUNERAL OF TUE GREAT STATESMAN. Paris, Sept. S.—Deputations from many pros vincial towns arrived duriog the morning ta witness the funcral of M. Thiers. Large num- bers of people arrived from the provinees, and wany English visitors were present with the same object. Notwighstandiog the weather wag rainy, a great crowd cullected outside the lata residence of M. Thiers, In the Place St. Georges, and in the adjoluing streets. The attitude of the ARCHBISIOP OF PARIS provoked much remark. Paul Remusat, on be balf of M. Thiers’ family, waited on bim for permission to have the service at the Madeline, instead of at the parish church of Notre Dama de Lorette. The Madeliue, with its surround- ings, was the only spot spacious enough for the thousands who would follow the procession. Notre Dame de Lorctte: has little epace around it, aod is small, without ex- teuded fromtage. An ordivary funeral blocks up the street, and whatever may be done, it would be ditficult to avoid a frightful - crush in the limited space. Archbishop Guibert declared his - readiness to officiate at the In- valides or Madeline had it been a State funeral, but refused to sanction the change of parish for an unofficial burial. Happily the procession moved from the church by the Rue Lepelleter, aloug the inner boulevards to the Chateaud’Eau, and thence by the Boulevard Voltace to Pere Ia Chalse, about two leazues, and cven this space would scarcely accommodate the multitude which collected. e THE POLICE had taken great precautious, and the head ot that department had given the strictest in- structions to his subordinates to prevent an ex- cess of zeal endangering the general tran quillity. TUE FUNZDAL. Rain continued falling in torrents. At 9:30 the police cleared Place St. Georges and the strects adjacent to the church The cortege left the place at noon in the follow- ing order: Bearers of orders and decora- tions worn® by deccased, Iasters - of ceremonies, family of deceased, Senators, ex- Deputics, members of the Freuch Academy, members of the Academy of Moral and Political Sciences, other classes of the Tvstitute, Council of the Scine, deputations from various councils, zeneral and municipal councils, deputa- tions from Ansien, other deputarions, fnvited fricnds of deceascd. The open learse, drawn by - six horses, on which the coflin rested, was covered with palm branches, wreaths of flowers, immortelles, and tri<colored bows and rosettes. The whole route was lined by an immense cumber of people, notwithstanding the rain.
