The Cossacks dashed in pursuit, cutting up the Austriane badly and taking prisoners; Further clouds of Cossacks are sweeping rapidly towards the Dniester and even in the Bukovina direction.

NEW YORK, September 24th. The Captain of the steamer Crossby says that aftor ho sighted the Hesperian the latter lurched and began to settle. The Crossby turned to go to the rescue when a submarino rose to the surface and approached her. The Crassby therefore turned and went at full speed, eventually escaping, after several hours chase, by zigzagging and circling. This gives the lie direct to the Gorman official assertion that there was no submarine in that area.
