After Berlin, it is the second largest city in Prussia, with a popuâ€" laton of 500,000, and is the capital of Silesia. It occuples an important atraâ€" tegical position in Oder, and is a city of great historical interest, with magâ€" mificent buildings. It has been preâ€" pared for a possible raid by the Rusâ€" sians, and the last reports available from there stated that there was a very strong German force between it and the eastern frontier, also that artillery sent from it to the support of Germans in Russian Poland bad been captured. _ _ â€" For some days, however, Petrograd has hinted at unexpected developâ€" ments, in which the Russian centre army of 900,000 men would figure. This immense army was reported to be marching through Russian Poland, but no hint has been given as to its object or its destination. Breslau is one hundred and ninety miles southeast of Berlin, and about sixty miles from the frontier of Rusâ€" sian Poland. Jaroslay Occupied. LONDON, Sept. 23.â€"The Russians have followed up their successes in Galicia, where a third great battle is about to begin, if it has not already begun, by capturing the important fortress of Jaroslau, on the River San, just north of Przemysl, which they are surround‘ng. The Russian flag now files over the town. Jaroslau is an fmportant railway centre and commands the position to the San river, and its possession will greatly assist the Russians in their operaâ€" tions against Przemysl, where a strong Austroâ€"German force is preâ€" pared to offer stubborn resistance, in the hope at least of detaining the Russian armies which are needed to take the offensive against Germany. The Servians report another vicâ€" tory over the Austrians, who thus far have suffered severely on all sides. This engagement occurred near Krouâ€" pani on the Drine, where the Ausâ€" trians attempted to invade Servia, but we‘e driven bick. This attack accounts for the Servian offensive movement. The Servians and Montenegrins are within ten miles of Sarayevo, and the Austrians have made one sortie from the town, according io « Rome despatch, but quickly turned back in the face of the opposing forces. There is a rumor, too, that Essad Pasha, the former Albanian Minister of War, as a result of an agreement with the Servian Government, will lead an Albanian army into Herseâ€" govnia by way of Cattaro. Petrograd despatches state that the Russian army in Austria has enâ€" veloped Jaroslay and Przemysl and is now pushing on to attack Cracow. ‘These three fortresses are the only important points in the invaded proâ€" wince still held by the Austrians.

They were armored cruisers of a comparatively obsolete type and were built fourteer years ago. The lists of the casualties among their crews will be published as soon as they are known. * Contj3uing, the announcement says that a coneiderable number of the crews of these vesgels were sayâ€" ed by H. M. S. Lowestoft and by a division of torpedo boat destroyers. Trawlers and their boats also aided in the work of rescue. The warships Aboukir, Hogue and Cressy are cruisers of the same type. Their tonnage, armament, etc., are identical. These vessels had a disâ€" placenent of 12,000 tons, were 440 feet long and 69.5 feet wide and drew 26 feet of water. Each one had a s crew of 755 men, including officers. Tle Aboukir ws torpedoed first. The Hogue and th. Cressy drew in close to her and were standing by to save ber crew when they also were torpedoed. C These three cruisers bad armaâ€" ments consisting of two 9.% inch guns, 12 6â€"inch guns, 12 15â€"poundâ€" ers and 5 3â€"pounders.
