T8 OPEBATION,8 [By Cable to The Chicaqo Tridune,] Loxpox Orrice or T Cimicaso TRIsUNE, 6 PALGnAVE Prace, 5ianp,Oct. 5—4 8, m,— Despite the alinost winter weather, the Russtans in Armenia have renewed the offen- sive, and, according to their own nocounts, havo directod au attack upon the entirs front presonted by Mukhiar Pashs., For some timo reinforcomonts have poured into tho -comps near Alexandropols, and rumor has fixed their number gt no fower thon 20,000 . men., In ordor to strongthen bimself, Grand Duke Michaol hod, it is reported, drawn upon the soldiors commanded by Gen. Torguknssoff, leaving lim only with a body of troopa Jjudged sufliciont to cheek the incursions of Ismael Pasha, who, after the rolief of Baya- zid by the tho gallant Armonian, boldly crossed the frontier and kept up a series of skinnishes botween the monutain boundary and Igdyr, It wos cortainly sound policy to weaken Torgukassoff, sinco Ismael, with the forco ho commands, could not msko much way, in- flict serious damago, or nssail tho Alascovite communication, Thoe fortress of Aloxan. dropol, built mainly of materials purchased in "Corkish® Armenis, is 8o strong a.support to the principnl army detatchment fronting Mount Arrarat that the worat consequences of defent would be avorted by its protecting influonce. BINOE TIE PLAN OF INVASION COLLAPSED and slege of Kars wns raised, Mukhta Posha has gradually de. voloped & front running In a lino which is, roughly speaking, from a point near the supporting fortross enst and wost, facing the Russian host, which apparently occupied n more concentrated but near- ly paralll line about Kurrudare, on thoe ryond from Kars to Aloxandro- plo. The Ottomans wero rmnged on rolhng country tending towarls the Arpaclal, a plentiful tributary of the Arai, oud forming the frontior botweon Russian and Turkish Armenia, By extending his right to Kiziltpo, Mukhtar approached the river, and, 03 tho enomy could operate with facllity om either bank or hill, the position scemed open o onset from the rear. It Is roported that Tnesday Gen, Molikoff, under direction of the Grand Duke Michnel, made n serions attack on tho Turkish lines at Ghazi. >Mukhtar seems to have been surprised. Tisintelli. genco dopartinent was misinformed by its sples, and the Russlan assanlt was delivered at o point where it was not expected. The Ottoman anuy, though apparently at first taken aback, scems to havo held flrmly a position a short distance in the rear of its advanced guards, and, TUESDAY EVENING, made some counter-attacks, with the object of recovering the gvound lost early in the day, When tho sun wont down no deoisive result had been arrived at. Telograms from Constantinopls aver that victory inclinod towards the Turkish side, buteven these accounts acknowledge that the Ottoman soldiery had falled to regain the hills it held when first attacked by the troops of Gen. Melikoff. The Ruasian ver sion of the slory tells that tho Muscovite army bivouscked on the ficld of battle, and that o renewal of the action was expected the following day. e ASBIA MINOR, HBECENT BATILES. LoxpoyN, Oct. 4.—According to unofficial accounts, the Russlans, under Grand Duke Michael, havo been defeatea between'Anni and Kars, Two Russtaan Gencrals were killed. WEDNESDAY'S BATTLE. CONSTANTINOPLS, Oct. 4.~Mukbtar Pashs telegraphs a long account of Wedaesday's bat- tle, which appears to bave been indecisive, He says his outposts withdrew from Great Kanilar, which s probably thp position the capture of which by Gen. Meltkoll was described in the dispatch from Karajal yesterday. The Kusslan attscks on Little Ksullar and Kixil-Tape wero unsuccessful. On the right, the Turks belng threatened by six FRIDAY, Lattatlon, arsumed the offensive, They storm- el Gladi-Dagh, and, after tive hours’ fighting, pursued the Rusiana (o Arpatchal. Night stopped the conflict. Both sides malntained thelr positions, - Makhtar Fasha cstimates the Rusaiun loss at 5%0. The Turklsh loss Is un- known. Fazlt Pasha was wounded. There was no fighting on Thursday exeept near Karajal, of which the dispateh gives no de- talin, The rumor that two Russlan Generals wero Ttitled is unfounded, The Porte, i o dispateh to jts representatives nbroad, claims that Mukhtar gained an over- whehning victory, IN EUROPE, TAE RUSTCIUUR BOMBARDMENT, Loxnoy, Oct. 4.—A Rustchink spedal of Oct, Jeays: The renewal of the bombardment by the Husslan batterles at Glurgevo has loflicted enormous damage upon the Town of Ruatchuix, A great proportion of the houses are in utter ruina.

SULEIMAN, It fs ammounced from Constantinople that Buletman Pasha has arrived at Rasgrad, MONTENEGRO. ‘The Prince of Montenegro lins decided to con- sider this year's campaign terminated with the occupation of the district of Banjant, The fPrince has written the Czar that hie ind succceded in obtatning s principal ob- Jeet, namely, the acliverance of the population of Upver Herzegoving, and did not intend to go heyond the Daujuni country. Tho Prince con- cluded with the request that the Czar would, in the event of a concluston of the war, consent to the tucorporation of the district of Banjanl with Monteoegro. GENERAL, * A HINT PROM GERMANY TO TNZ PORTE. VIENNA, Oct. 4,—Trusty reports from Berlin state that, by Emperor Willlam's special order, annte has been sent Lo Constantinople very caruestly urglog that principles of humanity | should be no longer violated, The note does not exactly threaten tho Turks, but leaves no doubt of the high indignation feit, and that the German Guyermnent docs not intend silently and judifferently to look on. CRUELTIES OF TIE TURRS. Loxvo, Sept. £8.—The Times® Therapla cor- respoudent eays the tullitary authoritics of Roumelta will not send the Gueschofls to Con- etantinople, because they are afrald their lves would be spared. This apprehension of the Roumanian militury autborities, which fs fn ac- cordance ‘ith the opiniou generaily entertained liere, cstablishes a strome presumyition that the Gueschofls_are funvcent, for the Turks are not Just now disposed to show mercy towanl Bul- garinus agalnut whom there Is even a vague suspiclon, and far less against men of mark when a - chaigze of couspiracy cun be brought home to them. According to one account, u Bulgarion, when on his way to executlon, promfsed to muke fmportant disclos- ures if pardoned. 1fis pardon was accordingly promniscid, aud he disclosed the sput where the miuutes of the Bulgnrlan Revolutionury Com- mittee bad been buried, The Informer was then hanced, His tale may he u fabrication, but there i nothing fnprobable In it. It is, howey- er, further nsscried that in the papers thue dis- covered was found ovideucs counceting the Gueschofls with last year's fnsurrection. The general opinlon seetns to bo that it s focredible men in the positiou of the Gucschofls ahould commit themselves n writing to such a feebly nnd unpromising enterprive as last year's so-called fnsurrection. = At this moment, for a Bulgarian to be sceused s to b condemned. An English cye-witucas, who has {ust returned from the disturbed Qistricts, ft- lorms me that the first thing usually done to o Bulgarian, after his arrest on susplelon, 18 to beat him soundly, he i- {gr from the sccne of tralhe is liuble to ba compelled to walk thitherwithout food or a drap of water. In one instance, vt of scventy prisoners thirteen died ou thelr way to trial, After such treatment the prisoners are too exhausted and scared o pro- verly defend thowmsclves.

Dispatch o Ctncinnals Gasette, Ricusmoxp, Ind., Oct. 8.—B8cnator Morton's improvement for the past five or six days ls very uotleeabls to those who sawhim prior to that time, and are therefore able to contrast his present condition with that of Jast week. Ilis principal trouble secms to be lack of appetite.
