"The

Bucharest correspondent.
Austrians have placed.a rigid

cordon of militia and police a-

round Czernowitz and nobody is
allowed ‘to depart toward the
Roumanian frontier. Reports
received here say thatthe Aust-
rians are dealing severely with
certain elements of the population
and itis reported that numerous
secret hangings have occurred
and that hundreds of arrests have
been made.” ‘

Paris: — A despatch to the
Havas Agency from Athens Says:
“After the destruction of Fort
Dardanus, the allied vessels
bombarded the inner forts of
Hamidieh and Yildiz Tabia, A
naval division bombarded at the
same time frum the Gulf of
Saros side of the peninsula Fort
Boukali Kale, causing serious
damage. The town of Yenicheir,
near the fort of the same name,
was burned.”

London: — ‘‘News has reached
here,’’ says the Daily Mail, ‘that
the Turks are very short of am-
munition for their big guns, and
Austrians are making strenuous
efforts to rush supplies through
to Constantinople, ’’

London, March 4:—The admir-
alty last night issued the follow-
ing report: “Qperations in the
Dardanelles were resumed at ani
o'clock Monday morning, when
the Triumph, Ocean and Albion
entered the straits and attacked
fort No. 8 and the batteries at
White Cliff, The fire was re-
turned by the forts and also by
field guns and howitzers,

“An air reconnaissance made
by naval seaplanes in the even-
ing brought a report that a sue-
ceasful new gun position had been
prepared by the enemy, but no
guns were erected in it, Sea-
planes also located surface mines,
During Monday night a force of
mine sweepers, covered by des-
troyers, swept within a mile and
a half of Cape Kephez and their
work, which was carried out un-
der fire, is reported to have been
excellent, Casualties sustained
during the day were slight, a-
mounting to only six wounded.
Four French battleships operated
off Bulair and bombarded batter-
ies and communications, _ Opera-

noon and although three ships

Petrograd, March 3:—The war
office issued the following state-
ment to-day:—“‘On March 1 and
2, .between the Niemen and the
Vistula, the Germans delivered
attacks only in the region of
Ossowetz. Many attempts of
the enemy to approach the fort-
ress were repulsed. In the re-
gion of Grodno and other sec-

tions of the whole front our
troops continue to make progress.

We took by assault the village of
Kerjen, on .the left bank of the
river Amouleff, where we took
prisoner ten officers and numbers
of soldiers and captured twa
rapid-fire guns. In the Carpath-
ians, between Ondava and San,
we continue with complete suc-
cess, repulsing formidable uxt-
tacks of Austrians. The Ger-
mans delivered fruitless attacks
in the regions of Koziouwka and
Rojanka, At the latter point
we succeeded in enveloping and
annihilating two German com-
panies, ;
“In East Galicia the Austrians
who were defending a passage
of the River Lomintza suffered a
hew and very serious cheek,
Our troops, while fighting, cross-
ed the river and oceupied the vil-
lage of Jrasna. On following day
we took 6,000 prisoners with

sixty-four officers, four cannon,
seven rapid fire guns and a large
quantity of regimental und di-
vision traina.” .

Petrograd:—In development of
our success near Kerzec, where
a German brigade was: dislodged,
we increased the number of our
prisoners by twenty-one officers
and 600 men. Between the
rivers Orzye and Vistula there
have been engagements of a par-
ticularly desperate character, be-
tween Mlawa and Horlzele. In
the Carpathians, between the
Ondawa and San rivers, the Aus-
