Russian Atmy Lines Up to Force a Passage Into Germany. A despatch from London says : The advance guard of the great Russian army, marching through Galicia on its way to Breslau and Berlin, has reached Cracow, and the battle upon whose result deâ€" pends the fate of German Silesia has begun.

The Austroâ€"German position is one of great strength, and it is expected that the battle will be long and sanguinary. The Russians hope, however, to be able to screen Cracow with part of their army, so that while the engageâ€" ment is proceeding the rest of the CRACOW BATTLE COMMENCED Czar‘s myriads may advance over the German border and str‘ke Bresâ€" have been delivered, presumably for the use of officers.

Without cavalry to aid it the Pruâ€" sian Guard was obliged to fall back. A battalion of Zouaves glided beâ€" hind and occupied the Valley of the Suippes, threatening to place the Guards between two fires.

The great exâ€" position buildings have been transâ€" formed into hospitals, where the wounded are being cared for. Most of the wounded are victims of the artillery duel along the Aisne.

A despatch from the battlefield, via Paris, says: The scene of the most violent attacks changes day by day. The Germans, finding it impossible to penetrate the allied lines in the vicinity of Rheims and Boissons, quickly transported many of their divisions farther northâ€"west and hurled them against Roye. Again they failed, although they have not ceased their efforts to batâ€" ter down the barrier of allies. The allies‘ turning movement conâ€" tinues and their western wing exâ€" tends toward Arras. Reports from the other end of the line on ‘the frontier show the progress of the allies to be slow, but sure. Hunâ€" dreds of German prisoners fell into the hands of the allies at every point, and it was remarked that among them the majority were Baâ€" varians, who seem to have been prominent in the front of the Gerâ€" man attack. The lines of the trenches make the battle front appear like deeply scarred fields. The allies, who quickly learned the lesson in burâ€" rowing, at some places face the Germans within a quarter of a mile. Their field entrenchments offer adâ€" mirable shelter from the effects of the German artillery, which conseâ€" quently reduces their casualties and permits the allies to await in comâ€" parative safety the German atâ€" attacks, which must be made across the open, and often at terrible cost.

Seventeen lives were lost by this accident, and the Italian Government made a strong protest against the presence of these mines in the open sea and a demand for indemnity. The quick conciliatory action of the Dual Monarchy saved it from a serious situation. The Italian fishâ€" ing industry had been brought to a standstill, and there was wideâ€" spread intgfnafion over the deâ€" struction of the fishing vessel by mines planted by the Austrians.

Members of other fishing crews in the vicinity were wounded by fAying splinters from the unfortuâ€" nate boat. Naval experts express the opinion that hundreds of mines from the Austrian coast are floating toward Italy, and as a consequence all steamship lines operating to Dalmatia, Montenegro, Albania and Greece from Italian ports have susâ€" pended sailings.
