FURIOUS FIGHTING IN THE LAST SORTIE. United Prkm Association. (Reccivecl/h a.m.) ' Petrograd, March 24. Official.—The thirty-ninth Honved Division renewed the attack. Absolutely intoxicated with success, they crossed wire entanglements despite immense losses and stormed Stashkowka Height with mad fury. The position thrice changed hands, but eventually the Honveds were driven off. The Russians were furious when they first lost the trenches, and gave no quarter in the hand-to-hand fighting, and pursued the enemy for a great distance, using their bayonet, and the butt-ends of their rifles. CAPTURES AT PRZEMYSL. UNSUCCESSFUL ENEMY. ATTACKS ' (Received 9.25 a.m.) Petrograd, March 24. It is understood that 700 big guns, many field pieces, and machine guns were captured at Przemysl. Official.—All attacks on Ossowiecz were unsuccessful. The Germans had previously abandoned two 42-ceuti-metre howitzers, and now only four batteries remain. Twenty Austrian battalions, under cover of twelve-inch howitzers and a hurricane of fire, attacked a greatly inferior force on the Liuzna-Popica-Ruska front on Friday. They approached within 200 paces of the trenches, but were repulsed with enormous losses.
