RUSSIANS CLAIM A SUCCESS. HOUSE-TO-HOUSE ENCOUNTERS. Received Juno 24, 9.50 p.m. PET HOG RAD, Juno 24. Official: AVe took 1000 prisoners near the village of Unich, on the Dniester. Our cavalry sabred throe companies west of Rawarusska. Received Juno 24, 10.30 p.m. PETROGRAD, Juno 24. Regarding our success on the Dniester, later details show that it was confined to the area of operations in the groat loops of the Dniester below Nizniow, and gave the Russian infantry a welcome opportunity. We are firmly astride the northern outlets, but have withhold a smashing blow for nearly a week with the object of increasing the value of the victory, as the enemy is constantly adding numbers. The Russians on Sunday made a fine attack on the whole line. The fighting lasted all day, afterwards becoming an affair of house-to-house encounters.
