RUSSIAN REPORT OF THEIR CAMPAIGN. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 2 (United Press].—The Austrian army has been completely crushed. News from the front, where the general battle has been in progress for eight days, is most favorable to Russia. The General Staff announces that the Austrian Fif- teenth Division was completely routed near Lustchoff on ‘Aug. 28 and that 100 officers and 4,000 soldiers were taken ners. The official statement adds that the commander of the Austrian division, the commander of a brigade and the chief of staff of the division were killed. Of the 4,000 men made prisoners 600 had been wounded. The Russians captured twenty guns and the flag of the Sixty-fifth Regiment. Lemberg, the capital of Austrian Galicia, is now held by the Russians. The Austrian centre has been penetrated by a superior Russian force and the wings are now being crumpled back upon their outer lines. Official despatches from the Grand Duke Nicholas tell é of a sweeping victory in the bloodiest battle of modern times. The Russian losses have been very large, it is ad- mitted. But it is stated that they are far less than those sustained by Austria. f Entire brigades of Austrians have been completely annihilated. Among their dead are some of their highest Wy =orank officers. Hy It is stated that, while the fighting continues and will probably continue for several days, the situation is most favorable to Russian arms. With Lemberg held by the Rus- sians and the Austrian centre penetrated, the Austrians will | have great difficulty withdrawing to new positions, and their | st: ) sanks are so badiy demoralized that it will be very difficult { toreform them into an effective fighting force. fill the gaps in the first offense line.
