AN ENCIRCLING MOVEMENT.

_LONDON, June 5.--Heavy fighting is still in progress in Galicia,

where the Austro-Germans are attempting an encircling movement

against Lemberg such as proved successful at Przemysl. The following

statement was given out today at the War Office in Vienna:_

East of Przemysl, near Medkya, the Russians have been unable to resist

a further advance of the Teutonic allies toward Mosziska.

In the district of the Lower San the enemy's attacks were repulsed.

From the west Austro-German troops approached the district near Kalusz

and Zurawna.

On the Pruth fighting is proceeding. The enemy obstinately attacked

here at several points but was driven back to the river.

_The following is the official report from Berlin:_

In connection with the Russian attacks repulsed yesterday at Rawdejany

and Sawdyniki, our troops have made further advances and have driven

off their opponents who held the bridge-head at Sawdyniki. They made

1,970 prisoners. Further north cavalry engagements took place

yesterday in the region of Fokeljanij with good results for us.

To the east of Jaroslau the situation remains unchanged. South of

Przemysl our troops, under General Marwitz, together with

Austro-Hungarian troops, are advancing in the direction of Mosziska.

The army under General von Linsingen has driven the enemy back in the

direction of Kalusz and Zurawno on the Dniester.
