London, Oct. 13.Information given out in Berlin indicates the Russian siege of Przemysl, the Austrian for tress in Galicia, has been abandoned. Austrian troops are reported to have defeated a Russian division near Lan cut and to have routed a division of Cossacks east of Nymao. Vienna ad vices say Przemysl has been relieved by Austrian columns, who have enter ed the fortress. The Russians are said to have fled in the direction of the River San, a number being cap tured while attempting to cross the Rivers Siniava and Lepaysk. The Russian official statement makes no reference to Przemysl, but says the Austrians in Galicia are op erating in small groups in various sections of the country. One Austrian division was surprised by Russian cavalry, says the statement, and dis persed. In East Prussia the situation is unchanged. Several engagements have taken place on the left bank of the Vistula, but the Germans seem to be holding their positions. Prince Oleg, son of Grand Duke Constantine, was wounded in an outpost engage ment. Commenting on the situation iu the eastern theater of the war the Berlin official statement says: "In the eastern theater we repulsed in force all attacks of the First and Tenth Russian armies on Oct. 9 and 10. The Russian outflanking efforts by way of Schirwindt (East Prussia) i equally were repulsed and the Rus sians lost 1,000 prisoners. Vistula River Reached. "In South Poland the advance guards of our armies have reached the Vis tula. Near Grojec, south of Warsaw, we captured 2,000 men of the Second Siberian army corps. "The Russian official communication about a i great Russian victory at Au gustowo and Suwalki (Russian Po land) is invested. The fact that no official Russian communication has been published about the tremendous defeats at Tannenberg and Insterberg (both in Bast Prussia) vouches a lack I of reliable official information." A Cettinje dispatch to the Havas agency says the Montenegrins advanc ing on Sarajevo, in Bosnia, defeated the Austrians near Kalenovitcli with severe losses. The report adds the Montenegrins also took many pris oners. A Russian official -communication given out at Petrograd expresses the belief that the death of King Charles of Ron mania removes an obstacle to the turning of Roumania to the cause of the allies, and adds that Roumania will now cease to menace Russia by furnishing provisions and transports for German troops. The Servian min ister to Rome declares Roumania probably will continue to remain neu trr.1. Shop girls in New York city num ber over 100,000.
