RUSSIAN SUCCESS.
Petrograd, November 24. Official.—Advanced parties defeated the enemy's column in the direction of Ezeroum, capturing caissons and an ammunition train. They also defeated the Turks in the region of the Khanessur heights at Azerbaijan, likewise at the hills near Oilman, where they captured a party of artillery. We overthrew the Turks along the whole front in the Ezeroum district. The Turks fled precipitately, being pursued vigorously.
TURKISH FORCE EVAPORATES.
London, November 24. The Press Bureau reports that the remnants of the Turkish forces at Basre have evaporated, leaving their guns and rifles. The Europeans were found safe. The Arab soldiers recently mobilised by the Turks were left behind, many having discarded their arms and uniforms and resumed civil dress, being dissatisfied at the manner in which they were' treated by the Turks. The Sultan's proclamation of a Holy War has fallen flat in central Asia Minor. The Turkish reservists at Aleppo declined to go north to fight the Russians.
