29 OCTOBER 1870, Page 2

In the Vosges it would seem that on the 22nd

October (Satur- day) there were engagements on the Ognon, near Besancon, between General Werder's Baden army and General Cambriels' army, which went against the French, General Werder reporting the capture of 2 staff officers, 11 officers, and 200 men. But this engagement was followed up on Sunday, October 23rd, by an attack on Chatillon le Due (close to Besancon), in which General Werder failed, and the French took some prisoners, General Werder withdrawing for the time from before Besancon with a train full of wounded men. Of this engagement, of course, we have no German account. Each side seems to avoid telegraphing anything like a small failure.
