Battle of Lovatz.

CAPTURE BY THE RUSSIANS.

THRILLING DESCRIPTION BY AN EYE-WITNESS.

\ PILL OL DEAD AND WOUNDED FIVE FEET THICK.

Lo_.LH._-, September 4th.-A Russian official dispatch, dated Corny Studcii, this morning, says i-Lovatz was yesterday carried by assault by the Russian troops, under Generals Meretinsky and Skobeloil. London, September 7.—A correspondent with the Russian army at Lovatz thus describes the late battle there : lhe artil lery did most of the lighting until S o'clock a lii Av-iicn the right, wing made a rush forward ard the musketry firing became very heavy, the Turks pouring a steady rain of fire over their parapets. At 8.45 two regiments of infantry avcic ordered up to assist the skirmishers under DobiOA'al ski. Even at this early hour the heat Avas intense. An oliicer arriving from the line of march of these two regiments states that a hundred men have fallen by the Avayside overcome by heat. At 9 o'clock the rifle fire increases in intensity and extends further tip the. river Osma. The skir mishers Hie SAveeping the Turks doAvn, and our guns wpened a- heavy fire to assist the infantry in their onward movements. At 9.30 Novinsky's regiment winds through a little defile behind 'one of the two Turkish redoubts, and two regiments, named after the German Emperor, mnvc upon the other. At 1!) o'clock.

(rOOD NEAV.-. ARRIVES

from the right. The Turkish positions have been taken on that front and the Russians are masters of that portion. They must now take an isolated ridge called Mount Rons, which overhangs Lovatz and forms the western key of the position. With this in their possession Lovatz is theirs, and there remains only the large redi iiibt forming the western key. At 10.20 the firing has ceased entirely upon the ri'dit, tire Turks having lled across the valley, leaving Dobrovalski unopposed. General Skoboleff has gone with ten bat talions toAvards the extreme left to take Mount Rous, the isolated ridge. At 10.30 the nattering of musketry on the left, tells of SkoboleirFs advance. At 10.40 his

column is seen moving down the slope of the amphitheatre and crossing a little val ley intervening between the slope and Mount Rous. The Russian artillery iioav opens a tremendous shell fire upon the slope of Mount Pons facing Skoboleft, and the Turks are seen

RU-iXl_.fi raOM THEIR INTEENCHMENTS oh the top and slope of this mount. At the foot, however, and near the highway, they bold their ground, and five rapidly upon S-coboleffs "advance. The heat is iioav actually frightful, and it seems im possible for men to right under it. A regi ment from the leseive moves down the defile to tbe right of headquarters to take Mount Rous in the Hank, and cut oft' tho Turkish retreat-. At 12.15 a battery moves up to support the advance of this regiment, and takes a position on the road leading along the eastern end of Mount Rous. Ten minutes after Skoboleif's column rushes up the road and takes the heights of Mount Rons, and he crowns them AA'ith his infantry. The garrisons of Turkish batteries away to our left cm the Trajan road iioav Avithdnnv toAvards Trajan, talcing their artillery Avith them. At 1 o'clock Aye have taken all the Turkish positions except a. redoubt on the Plevna road—the strongest of all, for it commands a little A-alley at the bottom of the amphitheatre, and has outlying de tached works to flank an attacking fore

THE FIEST PEEIOD OF THE BATTLE has now terminated. Orders are given to advance the batteries to the top of Mount Rous, and tbe right Aving creeps carefully forward towards the foot, of the amphithea tre slope so as to be in readiness for an attack upon the redoubt. By 2 o'clock the batteries Avere in their iicav positions, and had opened a tremendous fire upon the redoubt. The Turkish commander of this position, retired his guns to the hill at the back of his redoubt —an indication that he believed the capture of this fortification a foregone conclusion, and therefore Avith dreAv his guns to pre\*ent their being taken. It Ls a question Avhether the Turkish officer did avo., or ill by his men in forcing them to defend tbe lost position after the guns bad been removed in safety. It looks like simple butchery for both sides. The cor respondent then jnoceeds to describe the attack Joe THE REMAINING TURKISH REDOUBT, which he witnessed from the top of Mount Rous. He says : Mount Pons was within

easy cannon shot of the position attacked. The attacking force was compelled to cross a plain half a mile wide, before reaching the base of the hill on which the redoubt was constructed, tinder a musketry fire of Turkish infantry, securely ensconced be hind their parapets. Along the road and on the left bank of the Osma Avere several low ridges of earth, high enough to cover a man in a creeping posture. These places of refuge were resting places in the deadly race for the bluff. A cemetery through which the Russians also had to pass had a number of tall flag-tones standing upright, and these were taken advantage of by the advancing soldiers. The attacking force contained the tAvo regiments named after the German Emperor aud some men of the arm) corps which was at Plevna. It was commanded by Major-General Raztnindaiff. At half-past ___

THE ORDER TO ATTACK

Was given, and the men rushed across the valley amid a perfect hailstorm of bullets. In a few minutes the ground was dotted with dead and wounded Russians. The men advanced in open order with a rush, and the Turks kept up a steady stream of fire. There Avas not the slightest break in the rain of bullets ; yet it Avas Avonderful to see hoAv small a proportion of them took effect. Sometimes a single soldier Avould run acro._s the whole space between the river and the bluff. 1 could see Avhere every bullet hit around him by the dust Avhich it threAv up, and yet he generally got across unhurt. There Avere minutes Avhen no Rus sian was under fire, aud yet the Turks never stopped. It appears that they Avere lying down in trenches firing over parapets Avithout looking. The Russians declare they never saAV even a head above the bank. By :_ o'clock a considerable force had col lected under the bluff, and commenced Avorking around to an on angle of the redoubt looking up the I'levna road, while another party, to distract attention from the first, crept up tbe face of tbe bluff and

OPENED A SCATHING FIRE On the face of the redoubt towards Lovatz, away to the northward of Plevna road. The Russian force uoav makes its appear ance with a battery of artillery to cut off the Turkish retreat towards Plevna. Another attacking column is iioav seen advancing up the river Osma from our extreme right. They are scattered in open order and steal along unobserved by the Turks to reinforce the party under the northern end of the bluff. All this time the Turks keep up an incessant rifle fire, but the guns on the hills at the back of the redoubt only fire occasionally, as our troops cannot be seen from that position. The Russian artillery thunder away very rapidly, and two batteries arc now advanced down the road nearly to the edge of the city. The Russians gathered under the bluff noAV

The men along the Lovatz front of the work open lire and draw the bulk of the Turkish fire in their direction, when suddenly about 50 Russians make a rush upon the eastern face of the redoubt and approach within fifty yards of. the ditch. They are compelled to retire by a tremendous fire. After tAventy minutes of desultory firing the real attack is made up me slope facing the eastern side of the redoubt. Tho Russians rush up in open order, keeping a steady .stream of reinforce

mente following the advance. A perfect deluge of shelLs is poured upon the redoubt from" our batteries as the men run up the slope. Avhile the Turkish infantry fire is incessant, and if it Avere avcll directed every Russian A\-ould have been shot down. As it is. many fell. Our artillery ceases firing j as our men j LEAP INTO THE DITCHES j an d clamber up the parapets, while another , column rushes along the Lovatz face of the redoubt to clear the advance trenches.

The living and dead Avere lying on each other in a dense mass, steam ing AA'ith heat and blood. Around this Moslem pile Avas a fringe of dead Russians, shewing that there had been a fearful struggle on this fata! space. The Russian soldiers Avere standing upon this mass of humanity. I Avatehed them working man fully to separate the living from the dead. In half-an-hour they had made scarcely any impression. The road avus strewn Avith Turks, with here and there a Russian. Some of the Turks had been shot first, and then repeatedly bayoneted. The corres pondent estimates the Russian loss at 1000. The masses Avere not exposed, as at Plevna. Skill was substituted for brute force. General Razmindaiif, Avho commanded the .assault on the redoubt, avhs Avoundedin the leg.

RUSSIAN OI'I'TCIAI. ACCOUNTS

A Russian cff.cia" bulletin dated Corny Studen, SeptexnUr . says—On the 4th the Turks attempted an attack on Lovatz from Mikre, but were repulsed after four hours' skirmishing. An attack by a small Turkish force on Tohria, near Kina, was repulsed the same day. On the sth. the Turks attacked a Russian'corps near Rustchuk, on the whole line, directing their chief attacks against Kaze levo and Oblanowo. The first attack was carried out by fifteen battalions of infantry and eighteen squadrons of cavalry, with twenty three cannon This force was further increased during the engagement. Our column at Kaze levo, consisting of five battalions of infantry and eight squadrons of cavalry, with some artillery, maintained its position with great determination for six hours, but was finally compelled to fall back on Ostre/.a wilh great loss. Our column at Oblanowo was also assailed by a large force, but repulsed all at tacks and maintained its position. The Turks took the offensive on both wings of the Rust chuk line of the defence, namely, in the direc tion of Kadekoe and Popskoi, but it is still unknown whether this movement was a serious attack or merely a demonstration. In the Balkans all is quiet. Suleiman Pasha is organ ising his army at Kaznniik. We lost 1,000 killed and -wounded at the capture of Lovatz. The Turkish loss is great, and included 100 prisoners.

THE VICTORY NOT SO IMPORTANT

AS REPRESENTED

London, September S.—The accounts of the fighting at Lovatz, sent from Bucharest by some correspondents, turn out to be pure fictions. The Russian success is not of such proportions as at first represented. Lovatz is an open town in a valley, important chiefly as covering roads to Trojan nnd Sel vius. The Russians, in order to he able to take other positions, must depend on draw ing back the Turks on the north-west of LoA'atz. The capture of Lovatz must be regarded rather as a part of an important system of operations than an independent achievement. Perhaps the Russians are trying to finish with Osman Pasha before it becomes indispensable to meet Mehemet Ali Pasha's advance. It seems beyond doubt that the Czarovitch's army has been greatly weak ened, and that after several important successes Mehemet Ali now threatens his line of commu nication with Tirnova. while Ahmet Eyoub Pasha, operating from Rustctmk, threatens not only the new bridge at Pyrgos, but even the SistOA-a crossing. Every preparation is making, and every nerve strained, to bring complete destruction to the Turkish army at I'levna.

The Attack on Shipka Pass.

HEAVY FIGHTING BETWEEN THE TURKS AKD RUSSIANS. GENERAL RADITZHI KILLED. SULIEMAN PASHA WITHDRAWS FROM SHIPKA PASS—HIS FORCES BELIEVED TO BE BADLY CRIP PLED—ETC.

London, August .30. —The London "Daily News" correspondent, telegraphing from Shipka Pass, the 27th, gives a. detailed ac count of the Russian attempt to capture a redoubt which the Turks constructed so as to sAvecp the road in the Russian rear. This redoubt is still untaken, and constitutes a great danger to the Russians, as it gives the Turks possession of a ridge running parallel to that up which the road Avinds,'fifteen hundred yards distant.

The redoubt enfilades the road in several places, and the Turkish infantry, by ex tending along this ridge, Avhich is thickly wooded, can practically render the road impassable. It was on this road that General Dragonieroff Avas wounded, and that to-day General Radetzky avus killed at a point fully a mile on one side of the summit pass. Men are picked off by Turk ish skirmishers, lavo miles behind our pass. It Avill be seen, therefore, that the Russian position still remains the most critical, in spite of reinforcements. General Radetzky indeed, informed the Commandant of Ca broA-a the day after his arrival, that he had better warn the inhabitants to be ready to fly at a moment's notice. Radetzky, as appears from the " Ncavs'" telegram, on the 25th, attacked the Turkish redoubt from tbe direction of the Pass, and also from the Gabrova side. There Avas a continuous musketry and artillery fire forscA-eral hours. The Russians advanced under coA-cr of the trees, which, hoAvever, were too small to afford good shelter. In a short time they reached Avithin fifty yards of the redoubt. Here they found the Turks had CUT DOWN THE TREES around the redoubt, making a batten over which it avus almost impossible to pass. They gathered around the edge and sud denly made a rush, for it, but Avere driven back Avith fearful loss. The soldiers became entangled in the masses of brush- Avood and trunks and limbs of trees, over which they were obliged to scramble ; while the Turks poured in a terrible lire upon them. At this short distance they mowed them down like grass. Of the first assault against the redoubt, in Avhich one company was engaged, very feAV got back to tell the tale. General Radetzky sent reinforcements, and the attack Avas begun again. Dispositions Avere made to place a large force in such a position that it could pour a heavy fire into the redoubt to cover the assault, until the assailants were almost up. to the parapet. This attack seemed almost at the point of success, for the Colonel in command said if the reserves Avere given him he could take the redoubt. The oiiicer in command of the reserves let them go, but they Avere nevertheless re -1 "*' THE NEXT ASSAULT Avas made under the eye of Radetzky aud his staff, General Deletrifsky, chief of

staff, placed himself at the head of the storming battalion. although he had to be "supported by tAvo men, as he ! had just previously been stunned by . some 'earth ' thrown up by an exploding shell. Tiie Russians advanced steadil... They rushed over or through the fallen tret's ; they even got into the redoubt, ami actually held it for a feAv seconds, but avcic driven out again. They surrounded the place on all sides, pouring into it a terrible lire, but Avere again driven back. In the meantime tiie Turks, to support the defence, in their turn began to attack the Russian positions in the Pass from the front and rear. The Russian losses must be very heavy, for the lighting continued until late at night, and wounded were coining back steadily all the time. To sum up, 'the attack has been unsuccessful. Reinforce ments are arriving, and the fight will probabh- be continued to-morroAV (Sun day). London. August 25th. —Bulletins from the Russian general commanding Shipka Pass shew that on August '22nd the Turks erected two batteries of long range artillery and made trenches through Avhich they approached the Russian positions. Ou the 22nd the Turkish fire commenced at half past four in the morning, and lasted Avith great violence until noon. Meanwhile the Turks made several desperate assaults, but were repulsed. Our heroes did not yield a foot, At noun the firing slackened, and resct'AX's under Radetzky be_.au to arrive Our losses have Won great-

Constantinople, August 25th. —Sulieman Pasha telegraphs, August 21st, that three of ids brigades ascended the heights of Shipka Pass in spite of the shoAver of Rus sia i projectiles, drove back the Russian outposts, and. advanced to Avithin 100 yards of the enemy's intrenchments. There Ava. desperate fighting for 14 hours, and, although tiie Turks retained the ground, the conquered enemy still held their forti fied positions, which Avere defended by 14 cannon and a large force. The telegram concludes : To-morrOAv Aye shall bring up our siege guns and renew tho struggle. We hope to lie successful.

Shumla, Aug. 23th.—Yesterday Suleiman Pasha made an assault on the Russian positions in Shipka Pass at nine o'clock in the morning. The battle, Avhich was sanguinary, lasted until six o'clock in the evening. The enemy, who were assailed on both Hanks, were unable to resist the attack, and the Turks gained possession of all the earth-works at the opening of the defile. A tele-ram to the '-Times "from Shumla says : Suleiman Pasha captured nearly all the Rnssi.ui positions. The Russians lost 3,000 killed and wounded.

London, Aug. 20th.—Russian advices from* bin u-y Studeni yesterday say: All is quiet this morning. Our troops main tain their positions. The Turks remain under coyer behind neighboring heights out of range of our batteries. The 'number wounded from August 21st to 27th is 2.480, including 95 oflicers. The number killed is unknown. As a result of Sunday's fighting, the Turkish advanced batteries somewhat menace the Russian Hanks. The Turks are constructing fresh batteries iv Tttnja valley.

SULIEMAN PASHA CENSURED FOR

WASTING TROOPS.

A Bucharest correspondent states : It is said that the hills around Shipka, are covered Avith Turkish bodies, and that their loss already has been as great, as that of the Russians at Plevna.

Adrianople, Sept 3rd.—lntelligence re ceived from Shipka Pass states that Sulie man Pasha has gained a more advantageous position for Ids batteries on the heights surrounding Fort Nicholas. Russian rein forcements arrived during the night, the road to GabroA'a beingcommanded by Turk ish batteries.

The Turks acknoAvledge tho loss of 7,000 men in Shipka Pass. ' 20,000 wounded reached Adrianople yesterday.

London, Sept, 4th.—A Vienna dispatch says : The report that Sulieman Pasha was acting under imperative orders from Constantinople in pressing the attack on the Russians in Shipka Pass is emphaticlly denied. He receives full credit in Constantinople fof his eastern operations, but in renewing the attack over again he is deemed to have not only made a useless sacrifice of excellent troops, but also to have acted contrary to orders, according to which operations on that .side avcic to have been, at least in the first instance, merely a demonstration on a large .scale to attract the utissi.'Ui forces. An order lias been sent, tO Suleiman Pasha to desist from his at tempts for the present, and to follow in the future more closely the instructions re ceived from Mehemet Ali Pasha.

A special from Gorncy Studeni says: The Emperor will present General bladetsky with a sword set with diamonds for his de fence of Shipka Pass. He cannot therefore be killed as avus reported.

The Grand Duke made an inspection of the Pa-s, and returned well-satislied with its strength and the power of the Russian force to h.dd it.

London, September 3.—A correspondent describing his visit to Shipka Pass on Friday last says : Suleiman Pasha has abandoned the attempt on the Russian position and inarched away from the neigh bourhood of Shipka-. Some say he is still at Kazanlik, and others that he is searching for another pass. My own belief is that be is engaged living to reorganise his shattered forces. Ther:: remain still confronting the Russians a few battalions of Egyptians with some cannon on the heights anil afcAvmore miscellaneous battalions in the village of Shipka. A large number of Russian rein forcements havo been marched back, and General Nepokoitsclntzky, Grand Duke Nicholas' Chief of Staff, was returning from bis visit to the pass quite relieved and satis fied Avith the position there. The Russians officially estimate their losses at Shipka Pass at 1200 killed and 3000 Avounded.

Constantinople, Sept. sth.—Ahmed Pasha yesterday repulsed a Russian attack at Kadikoi, near Rustchuk. The Russians lost, 150 men. The Turks have ob.ained still further command of the Gabrova road to Shipka J'ass. Cannonading was going on between the hostile batteries in the pass. London, Sept. oth.—A correspondent at Shipka Pass says the Russians have made a fine road up the pass for the passage of a large army into Roumclia. New bridges and other improvements in the road are still being made.

ATROCITIES BY TROOPS.

CHARGES AND COUNTERCHARGES.

St _ Petersburg, September 2nd.—The Russian Government has sent to its Em bassadors abroad a dispatch, saying that beside the several cases of Turkish barbari ties already published, the Russian troops on occupying batteries in Shipka Pass, found there a heap of beads belonging to Russian soldiers. Avhose mutilated "bodies were discovered in the neighbourhood. Cor respondents Avith the Russian army say that in the early struggles in the Shipka Pass not one wounded Russian who fell in places afterward temporarily occupied by Turkish troops Avas found alive. From twenty to thirty of these unfortunate men had been decapitated, and several bodies Avere found with feet, hands, ears, noses, and other parts cut off, and their breasts lashed by yagatans. The heads had been carried into the Turkish camp, Avhero they were found by the Russian troops after the occupation of the Avorks. The contraction of muscles and tension of the members shewed that horrible tortures of mutilation had been inflicted while the victims Avere alive. One body, decapitated and otherwise mutilated, Avas extended on a litter, Avhere it had been placed Avhen Avonnded, and not far from it the body of two litter carriers Avere found also decapitated, each of whom bore the bannerof the red cross.

THE TURKISH STORY

Constantinople, .September 2nd.—The Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs has addressed a dispatch to the diplomatic agents of the Porte abroad, saying that every day brings to. light a great number o

Musselman JAvomen and children, belonged to the district of Kasanlik, who escaped massacre, 250 Mussulman women and chil dren having been found barefooted and in a deplorable condition. A number of women and children could not be recovered, hav ing been massacred by Bulgarians. Of 12,000 Mussulman men, woman and chil dren Avho fell into the hands of the Rus sians and Bulgarians, 2,000 Avere rescued by the Imperial troops. Measures have been taken to deliver the rest, but news Avas received that every Mussulman Avho remained nt Kazanlik hud fell a A'ictim to the Bulgarians. Women and children were made prisoners and taken to the Balkans. DESTITUTION SOUTH OF THE BALKANS. London, Aug. 25th. —Mr Fawcett, sent by Layard to report upon the condition of fugitives south of the Balkans, and to distribute relief, writes : " All that lias been Arritten gives no adequate idea of the extent of the misery and destitution which prevails among the refugees, or the bar barities perpetrated on both sides. The British Relief Committee of Adrianople, after careful investigation, have ascertained that over 10,000 fugitive women and children need relief at once. Of these 1,700 are Jews and 5,000 Turks."

The War in Montenegro.

CAPTURE OF NICSICS

Report that Nicsics has Surrendered

to the Montenegrins

Vienna, September 9.— A Catlaro special reports that Nicsics, with nineteen turns, has been surrendered unconditionally, but the gar rison and inhabitants Avere allowed to with draAV to Gatscho. The surrender was necessi tated by lhe Montenegrins having stormed the positions commanding the citadels. The Gar rison, which \\-?.s originally 400 strong, lost 200 during the siege in killed and prisoners, Two thousand Montenegrins surrounded a Ilerzegovmian village. Another band arrived during the night, when their comrades, sup posing them to be Turks, attacked them. Fighting continued through tiie night, and it was not till morning that the mistake was dis covered, when 700 were killed.

ATROCITIES IN BULGARIA.

Vienna, September 10. —It has tieen as certained that simultaneously Avith the Kavarna massacre the Circassians com mitted atrocities in eleven village: of Eastern Bulgaria. In the village of Luj-k, inhabited by Greeks, one hundred and til; v houses Avere burned and three hundred inhabitants massacred. One hiindiC'l corpses of womeng have been discovered at Sanuicla. A letter says these facts are verified by' Council*'. STRENGTH OF THE OPPOSING ARMIES.

New York, August 27th— A correspon dent of the "Times" at Bucharest writes that the Turkish forces now number 50,000 men at Rasgrad, 40.000 at Osman Bazar, 40,000, with Sulieman Pasha, and 55,000, at I'levna and Loftcha under Of man Pasha. To-day they are jjfaced by 200,000 Russians. Another estimate places Mehe met All's army at 160,000. The Russians arc noAV as strongly posted at' Tirnova as the Turks Avere at the battle of Plevna. The Russians are preparing barracks for 20,000 men in Bulgaria. GREECE TO ASSIST RUSSIA.

Athens, September 10.—The Council of Ministers during the last feAV days has been discussing the Russian Cabinet's pro posals for common action for insuring the protection of the Christians in Turkey, and it may now lx. considered certain that a definite agreement has been arrived at be tween Greece and Russia. GERMANY THREATENS THE PORTE. Constantinople, September 10. — The German and French Embassadors have presented remonstrances to the Porto against the release of persons condemned to live years' penal servitude for the murder of the German and French Consuls at Sa lonica in May bust. The French note demands that the sentences be carried out. Tbe German note declares that the con tinuance of the present aspect of this affair might force Germany to have recourse to other measures.

THE SITUATION SUMMARISED. Chicago, September S. —A " Times " London special says : The carnival of minder in Bulgaria, in whicli the tAvo frenzied mobs fur months have been mas sacreing each other, has been relieved by cavo practical and strategical movements of a masterly character. Une is the sudden and successful operation against Lovatz, and such disjiosition of the Roumanian and Russian troops as prevented Osman Pasha from moving to relieve his right Hank. The other is the rapid and wholly unlooked-for movements of Mehemet Ali to the left of the Russian position, Avherehy he com mands the Russian bridge at Pyrgos and menances that at Sistova. If Mehemet Ali has accomplished all that he is credited AA-ith, tin; Russians, as a Avhole, are no better situated than before. The location of Sulieman is srilla matter of speculation. Rumours place him at several points, but the most reliable seem to indicate that he is between Kaleyth and Louatz. moving north. It is asserted that Mehemet is pushing west upon Biela, while a heavy roe is feeling its way cautiously toAvards Sistova and converting the movement on Pyrgos. The victory obtained by Mehemet Ah has arrested somewhat the English excite ment. Tnrcophilc journals profess to be lieve that the balance of the week's opera tions are in favor of the Turks and that tho Russians seem crushed betAveen three Turkish armies.

THE RUMOURS OF INTERVENTION

London. September 8. —Rumours of intervention circulated during the early part of the week have drawn forth identical answers from the cabinets of London, Berlin, and Vienna that the time is not yet arrived. It is felt that since, in the settle ment of the Eastern question, Avar has been appealed to, a solution, if not final at least of some duration, can only be arrived at by the decided superiority of one or other of the contending parties, or else by the thorough exhaustion of both and the conviction brought home to botn that neither of them is able to solve the problem by sheer force. Any premature attempt to interfere and thus prevent a decision could only lead to a hollow peace and to a prospect of seeing the struggle renewed after a comparatively short time. All the tremendous sacrifice of life and property already made would not have advanced the solution one step. GERMANY'S APPROBATION. LONDON, September 8. —A special from Belgrade says : In diplomatic circles it is reported that the German Consul-General confers very often with Prince Milan. It is asserted that Germany entirely approves of Servia's participation in the war, and is prepared to guarantee the status quo in the event of defeat. Italy seems to be going with Germany. Austria still keeps a posi tion of strict reserve. ATITTJDE OF ENGLAND AND GER MANY. Chicago, September S.— A "Tribune" London special says : Semi-official German papers declare that the policy of Germany consists just now in pushing peace negoti ations in'a disinterested and unspcculative manner. The policy of England is to put an end to hostilities as f?oon as possible, without reference to conditions, which is anything but a disinterested desire, since she only cares to advance her own com mercial interests, which are in a languish ing condition. At the Russian headquarters it is stated that no overtures for peace will be listened to until after some overwhelm ing victory, when the Czar cau dictate his own conditions. The Russians are deter mined to fight to the last, and the Czar has recently declared that he will return to Russia either dead or victorious. [For continuation of Mail News sec eighth page.]
