New York, 25. Tne Herald's Lon don. A correspondent of thcLuudon Daily Is'ews at Plevna, eenda a terrible story ot the state of things prevailing in and around the c.iptured town. Before the recent great storm, Plevna was aimpty a charuel house. Modern Mod-ern warfare has no parellel for it. Famiahed dogs, of which always lare numbers are in Turkish Iowuh, wore feeding on the corpses of the dead aud on the bodies of the still living but wounded. The eavago hordts of greedy brutea as thoy tore ths putrid fleah of the dead or crunched the bones between their teeth, the criea and groans of the wounded, as they vainly struggled witti the doga, might be heard for milc-h around, and made the soul sick. Birds were pecking at ekulla, bupuing irom oouy to ooay, witn neaks and plum a-;e besmeared with human blond and screaming with fiendish delight. Doga fought amrmg thetn-Hi-ivea and bird struggled with bird lor the posa--he ion of a morsel of tiumiti fl'ah, and the moat indescribable hor- j rrr prevailed. In one hour alune thirty fieven dead and filty-thrcc wounded Turks were fuuud, aomo of the latter in a half decomposed and putrid BtaU, and in a condition thai can be more easily imagined than described. Borne of the wounded were able to crawl about and clululied at odd mor-sela of fuod that wuretouud in the hauda ol th? dead, devouring it with (everidh avidity, but tb'Hinuuds ot them were utterly helpless and awaited death or succor with lisLleaa fatalism. Eighteen hundred prisoners were huddled together on the bank of the Vid, aud the horrors of their position equ.iled those of the great plague which ravaged Europe in the (our-leenth (our-leenth ceuiury. The living and dead weio piled together promiscuously in hCiipH, liko wood aud carted away. Tnere wro only three carts available for thia work, and the contusion wai indeecribable. Odman's bravery is atuiued and blackened by his treatment treat-ment of Kuyaiau wounded that fll into his hand. His gallant dnfence of Plevna for tho moment blinded the victors and Europe to the (act thai all prisoners wera butchered by troops under Oamau'a command. |
