PKTROnRAl), .lime I.- -News of the rail of Przemysl has uwukeucd no apprehension here. It is conceded the (Ioniums hnve won, a "moral iclor," but tho stnitcgiu importance of the fortress, according to the opinion c pressed here, had been nullified he loie the Russians reliiupiished it. A leading Russian military evpeit, an al. rim; the situation, says; "Having crossed Ihe river San with two nrmies which were to begin op erations against the fortress, the flenimtis found themselves in uu ex tremely duugeious ami unstable posi tion, being attacked on their left flank they were compelled to shorten the strip of ground (hey occupied on Ihe right of the Sail. Any icM'ixe of llie-e nrmic- would huc liirued the (leiiuuii movement into a catastrophe, since retreat to the rear would have been cut off by the river Sun uud the pressure of the Russian forces nl Sietiuwa on the Clerimui left. Accord ingly the (lermnus were forced to hurl their attack against . the fortress, throwing forward enormous forces. "The indefensibility of tho foi tress was due to the fuel that the Auslrians hud blown up the most important forts on their evacuation of Pr.emysl, coupled with the configuration of the laud. This was unsuitable to a stub born defense, for the reason that its undulations made it possible for the enemy to hide his approaches. "The primary idea in the conslrue itinu of the Przemysl i'oitress hud been to meet attack from the east ward. There hud not been sufficient time to reconstruct, tho damaged fotlresH on the west and on the north and to adapt the position to defense aiiiiict attacks from these directions, "Russian lniiir runuo khi'"." the ex port says," shooting to the last shell into the thick masses of advancing Aiistro-derinana caused them severe losses, Eventually, however, the Russian military authorities reached the decision to remove the urmy from the fortifications, "Strutcgie conditions," the expert concludes, "led to this name decision since the Russian Premysl army con stituted u sharp wedge cutting into the (icruinu lines and subject to being attacked from every side. To defend thTi croVeiit-hlinpcd front required 'tn-moiifwij forceK, and it was clear ly the' diydro !? till' Ctyrinmm that numerous forcifcRverloil.. this Iront for dcfenstv'e purpo?e&" ' r- ,i.i mm M..H v.usi.ui ..
