The Russian Galician army which a short time ago was in touch on the south with the Austrian garrison defending Cracow moved back to the Biala River. Notwithstanding the fact that the Russian retreat come pletely relieved the investment of the fortress of Cracow, it is claimed to be a marked advantage for the Russians, the retirement being due to the discovery of the Austrian aim to cut into halves the Russian forces in this region. Austrians began advancing Dee. from Tymbark, thirty-five miles southeast of Cracow, with the apparent object of swinging around |the left of the Russians along the River Blala, northward of Tarnow, and | joining forces with the army of Gen, Boehm-Ermolli which was advancing along the railroad from Sanok and Lisko. ‘The premature appearance of Gen, Boehm-Ermolli’s army to the south of Przemys! put the Russians on their guard. The Russians concentrated along the Biala River, moved down and attacked the Austrians at Tuchow, |fifteen miles south of Tarnow, where they were successful in preventing ja junction of the Austrian armies, | Then the attention of the Russians was directed to the Austrians ade vancing from Sanok, which movemen. was checked.
