Prussia. Positive deniai is made, however, that any o* the territory aircady gained has been abandoned. ~ Two distinct Russian armies are operating in Prussia. The first moved from Kovno against Koenigsberg and Allenstein. The second is operating from Poland towards Thorn and Graudenz. While the German lines have stiffened and the ferce opposing the Russians has been greatly increased, It is still insisted that it will be impossible to check the Russian advance when the orders are given to proceed. But, until | the Austrian resistance is completely crushed, there will be no general assault on the entrenched German positions. The General Staff admitted to-day that two army corps, operating in Eastern Prussia, have been defeated by the Germans there. The official report follows: “Two army corps, operating in Eastern Prussia, hav been repulsed by a superior German force and have sus- tained severe losses. [A heavily censored cablegram from St. Petersburg con- tains the names of Gens. Samsoniv, Martos and Pestitch, with no further reference to them. It is believed these three generals were killed. Gen. Samsoniv was considered one of Russia's most ca- pable generals. He greatly distinguished himself in the Russo- Japanese war, where he commanded a division of Siberian Cossacks, He was afterward nominated commander of an army corps, and later appointed commander of the troops in Turkestan. | PETROGRAD (ST.
