Petrograd, Feb. 23.
Official Austrian reports falsely assert that the Austrians have captured 29,000 Russians during the last few days, of whom 12,000 have been captured in Bukhovina.
The following proves the falsity of these reports. The total strength of the Russian forces in Bukhovina at the time mentioned was less than 12,000; while during the whole time of the retreat from Bukhovina the Russian losses in killed, wounded and missing totalled 7 officers and 1,007 msn.
