We have as yet no definite information of the axant place where the engagement took places but as the Trike have, within the last few weeks, thrown up some very strong redoubtaat a place called Talkinzir, between Batoum ad thei Hussian frontier, it is mest probable than the. nvading army, met with an apezpected peok at a place they believed to be indelended.
