Fighting in Central Poland.

Delhi, Feb. 8th. H.E. the Viceroy has received the following telegram, dated the 6th instant, from the Secretary of State:

Poporta stal that in Central Feland the battle continues with extreme stub. bornness, a special fenture using the extraordinary density of the Germaa columns and the massing of a hundred batteries. Bat the Russians neverthelesa succeeded in holding back and compelling the Germans to the defensive.

Beuter reports from Fatrograd that the slaughter among the dense ranks on the restricted battle-field is appalling.

The Russian counter-attack is said to ba one of the most brilliant charges in their military history and at one point the Russians aucceeded in crossing the Bzdra and occupying the German posi

tion on the other side.

From the constancy and firmness of General von Hindenberg's" attacks, it is believed at Petrograd that the Germans are multing another attempt at any cost to touch Warsaw.

The battle in the Carpathians is still an undecided me, the Russians retiring "si some points and advancing, at others, bus in the mala still holding the Austro- Hungarian Force, now strongly reinforced by the Germans."-

There were no further attacks on the Buez Chasi The recent attacks ar regarded as preliminaries only. The real assault is ill to be delivered.
