Bucnangmst, Dec. 11.—The report current Licre that Osman Pasha's attempt to break out ‘was caused by tho continued Rusaian and Rou- manian assault on his positions, is purcly tm- aginary. ‘The sortie was solely prompted by the entlru fallure of provistons. Osman crossed the river Vid, attacked and took fort Dolny Etrop- olje. The Russlans and Roumsnians wero Lurried up from Susorla and Bukova, After & TERRIDLE CARNAGE, Osman attempted to re-enter Plevna, but it had meanwhile been oceupted by Roumanians and Russians from Grivitza. Osman, on finding himsclt surrounded, although swounded fn the foot, personally conducted the neeotlations for surrender. He cxpresaly suoounced that Le sarrendered unconditionally to the Emperor. Simultancously with the' main sortle the Turks made a sortle AGAINST TIHE ROUMANIAN TOSITIONS onthe right bank of the Vid, but thls w {ecbly conducted, and the Turks in that quarter surrendered ulmost unresistingly, while the Turkish artillery tenin was captured fo the fm- mediate neighborhiood of Plevna.

His valor, which 18 de- ‘scribed ns desperate, 18 everywhere the theme of conversation. THE SUPPARINGS of the Turks inthe beleaguered town were actually awful, Cold, disesse, and tamine docimated the ranks and reduced the soldiers to liviug skelotons, To aggravate their suflerings, there were no doctors, and no tnedicine could be obtained.
