SARY KAMYSH DISASTER TERRIBLE SCENES OF SLAUGHTER. (TIMBS AND SYDNBY SUN SERVICES.) LONDON, 30th January. The correspondent of the ' Russian journal Novoe Vi'ernya describes awful scenes in the- battlefields in the vicinity of Sary Kamysh. "The holocaust was particularly terrible on two neighbouring elevations, with a slight cavity between, where the hurricane of the battle swept with such fury that it is literally impossible to move without treacling on corpses. "On the white background of snow the heads and legs of the unhappy Turks were sharply outlined. The lurks had instinctively crowded into the cavity, like sheep, and the artillery herded them hither and thither, and filled the hollows with the slaughtered. The atmosphere near the putrifying flesh is overpowering.*'
