THE WAR A Renewed Assault on the Shipka Pass. DRAWN BATTLES AT BJELA ee Two Days’ Severe Fighting; but Few Troops Engaged, MONTENEGRO FREE OF THE TURK. Italy Supporting the Demands of, Greece. [BY caBLE TO THE HERALD.] Lonpon, Sept. 24, e877. A Russian official bulletin confirms the main facts of the following account of the fighting at Tzercovna. A correspondent, who was an_ eyewitness Friday's battle between the Czarewitch and Mehemet Ali, telegraphs from Tzer- tovna on Friday:—‘Five or six differ- ent attacks were made to-day by the Turks with from one to three battalions, tach and all unsupported. The atiacks failed. ‘The loss to the Turks was very of heavy. A number of killed and wounded ! can be seen lying on the open ground over which the combatants passed. ‘The Rus- ns maintain their positions, which con- sist of a series of formidable trenches. ANOTHER SMALL ENGAGEMENT. There has also been some fighting at Kudickler by a division of Ahmet Eyoub’s corps, and at Verbatza by two battalions, detached by Mehemet Ali, but the Turks were unsuccessful at these places also. The whole action has been totally different from what it should have been. A feint has been turned into an attack, and the real attack has not been carried out. The same correspondent telegraphs on Saturday that all is still quiet. Each side is apparently fatigued after yesterday's hard fighting. Doubtless we shall soon attack again. i NOT A TURKISH VICTORY. The News’ Vienna correspondent says the encounters on Thursday and Friday near Bjela are said to have been greatly exagger- ated by the Turks. According to informa- tion received here they were drawn battles and the forces engaged were not large. MEHEMET ALI’S POSITION, Mehemet Ali telegraphed to ‘the Porte yesterday as follows:—‘The weather pre- vented operations until noon on September 21, when a furious engagement took place. We advanced to the enemy's intrench- ments. Darkness stopped the fighting. The enemy's losses were twice as great as ours.” ANOTHER ASSAULT ON THE SHIPKA Pass. A Russian official bulletin, dated Gorny- Studen, Saturday, says:—“The Turks re- newed the bombardment of the Shipka Pass ‘positions on Friday from fourteen mortars. At one o'clock in the afternoon they began an assault on the right flank, but were re- pulsed. They then attagked the left and centre, and were likewise repulsed. The fighting lasted until night. It is thought the attack will be renewed on Saturday.” THE RUSSIAN LOSSES, A Russian official despatch admits a loss in the Shipka Pass on September 17 of thirty-one officers and one thousand men killed and wounded. DO THEY SPEAK BY THE CARD? A telegram from Bucharest says persons arriving there from the headquarters of the Czarewitch, at Dolme-Monastir, think the Turks will not renew the attack of Friday, but will endeavor to cut the route to Tirnova. A STARTLING ANNOUNCEMENT. A telegram from Vienna says:—‘News has been received here that 20,000 men, under Chafvet Pacha, have reached Osman Pacha The Journal des Débats has a despatch from Con- stantinople making a similar report. It is hardly probable that Chatvet Pacha himself has reached Plevna; but the convoy under | Hitsi Pacha may have arrived there. NEAR HIS JOURNLY'S END. witha fresh supply of ammunition.” The reasons for this opinion are found in the fact that Chafvet Pacha telegrap hed from Orchanie, September 22, that Hifsi Pacha, commanding the convoy of pro- visions for Osman Pacha, bad arrived at | Dubnik, two hours’ march from Plevna, having defeated fifteen Russian. battalions | on the way. Osman Pacha has been re- quested to make a sortie to establish a junc- tion with this force, CONFIRMATION OF LAST WEEK'S FIGHT. The Hxnary's special correspondent at Shumla telegraphs, under date of the 19th | inst., announcing that Osman Pacha was attacked by the Russians on last Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. On the last day the Russians were repulsed with great loss, THE DUGA PASS OPEN, The Hxraty correspondent in Monte- negro telegraphs from Astorg, under date of Friday last. He announces that the Duga Pass is now wholly cleared of Turks, One gannon and 160 prisoners were taken, ‘The NEW YORK HE Prince of Montenegro and his staff have ar- rived at Nicsics. ‘THE GESHOFFS CASE, Lord Derby has iniormed the signers of the Memorials in favor ol the Geshotls that he has tele- graphed Minister Layard to use his best efforts With the Turkish government on behalf of the Geshofts unless he sees very strong reasons agaist doing 80, The 7imes? Constantinople special, via Syra, Sunday, states that repeated orders have wone trom the Porte that the Geshoits shall be brought to Constantinople, but it is feared the mili- lary authorities will not obey and that the Geshons will be executed, GROWING COMPLICATIPNS WITH GREECE. A Constantinople correspondent sidys the Porte has not yet replied to the Greek pote protesting against restrictions on the entry of vessels into the Guill of Arta; butitis thought that it will re- fuse compliance with the Greek demanaa, and that diplomatic difficulty with England will ensue. Itaiy has sent a note to the Porte supporting Greece. TRYING TO PROVOKE GREECE, A correspondent at Athens reports that the story of negotiations between the Greek and Russian governments for an offensive alliance Was entirely unfounded, and that the myvention has been clearly brought home to the Porte, whose purpose is to secure England's support or toleration in the aggressive it is meditating toward Greece. ADVISING THE TURKS, The Austrian Ambassador, at a private interview with the Sultan, is reported to have spoken about the probability of Austrian mediation, and to have urged the greatest moderation upon the Sultan, pointing out the necessity of saving Russia’s amour propre, because Germany would not be indifferent to Russian humiliation, THE PRESIDENT’S TOUR.
