From the Ncw-Yor Advertiser.

We frequently hear the question asked
how the war between the Russians and
Turks viii affect this country? 1t is per
haps not easy TO give a satisfactory answ Ell
to this enquiry. The theatre Of Tie coDtro
verss is at great distance from us, and We
see no imme date prospect Of adyonlage
likely to arise from it TO our commercial
pursuits. Europe is at present well sup
Piled with the necessary materials for sup
porting armies and nuyIes. The fleets oi
Great Britain and France will be furnish.
| ed with provisions from their respective
countries, and Russia has tie advantage OF
| The 6ne regions connected with the Black
Sea, from which To draw all that is neces
sary for her land forces. THERE'S nohne,
grain country in Europe, than that owned
by Russia above alluded 10. And il ,is not
probable that its stores will be exhausted,
at Least during the fret year OF hos,Ilit'es
Sh6lld the war, however, be continued
or il in the course Of events. il should be-.
come extended, and eventually the other
great Pow ers of Europe become parties 10
it, it must necessarily be pro:ructsd, and il
the end, its " ants may reach over 10 this
country and a supply Of provisions be cal-
led fer frsm the United States. A bad sea
son, md bad crops, in Europe, may also
hasten the period when assistance may
he wanted from US. We have not heard
or seen any speculation on the prospects
Of ths approaching harvests i" Europe, and
there fore do not know wbat IL to be ex-
dected there.
PINE Hood and Steam. .Bodfs.-.The steam
boats orc making havoc with this kind OF
fuel. Ii will be as scarce and denr by
and by as mahogony. Take the North
River for instance. Thirteen boats be.
tw cen Albany and York, consume, il
is said, fifteen hundred cords per week,
the ferry boats about fourteen hundred
more.--Ihe consumption on the North
River alone is put TO more than three thou
sand cords week, making at leust 100 600
cords Of wood in eight months, worth 500.
600 dollars. The Sound Boats, alec burn
their proportion, perhaps one fourth as
much In one trip We were told three
hundred dollars worth of wood was con-
sumed by one of the sound boats. Where
s this fuel to come from many years lon

shall have q general clearing in the Nor
thern and middle States.
TRINtpAppE CUBA, 9TH June, 1928.
"There is unfortunately but little doubt
thnt the pirates baye egain commenced
| their depredatione on the Coast Of Cuba,

had been fallen in with few leagues from
Jaqua, nearly nnder water, has been plum
dcred, as marks Of blood were found on the
deck, and no one on board of her. The

few days ago, and she is supposed to be
t,he vessel discovered. We wait further
partic ulars with much anxiety.

Of losses Of about S5OO,C0o BY Spanish
spoliations, have rendered him an object

Washington on Wednesday last week.--
His claims il will be recoiIecied, were the
subject Of much animated discussion dur.

not decisiyely acted on. -t.-- -.
