soldiers shot their Russian officers. This ID
limited at in Q previous dispatch from the
same correspondent. The following from
the special correspondent of the DAILY IeIe'
graph at Belgrade is spropoe. Fresh arri'
reach us and to pass on to the front:
Fifty Russian officers cane here last
night, and forty others with thirty Cos
sacks to day, This contingent certainly in
cludes some officers of the Cars Imperial
Guard, and l learn on good authority that
l44 of their comrades have leave OF absence
for Servis Already there are more than
| 1900 Russians at the front, mostly officers.
The pres. nee of these auxiliaries has COM
pieteiy changed the aspect of the Servian
cause. The Russian officers themselves de-
clare they have saved Servis. 1t is said they
drive the Servians to battle, when neces-
sary, as VIGOROUSLY it often is, with pistol
and saber, and shoot down the laggards
remorselessly.

centrated on the lett bank of the M0rava,

The Times, in it's leader, says: When
the possibility of a restoration of peace de-
pends, as it does, upon the promptitude of
decision, We will be excused if We grudge
the time necessarily spent upon the induc-
ton of the new Sultan. The waste of q day
the Sultan and his ministers are able to pro-
coed to the consideration of real business,
the opportunity may have flown.
The feeling Of Servia was changed on the
subject six days ago. The Prince and COun
Gil were in favor of peace. A priceless
week has passed, and now those again are
in the ascendant whose voices are still tor

ling hopes for peace; but it is important. The
the great powers, including Russia, are clear
aud firm in their communications with Ser
via; if they indicate in q way not to be
mistaken, the perils of cOntumaciOus per-
severance in war after they have declared
their opinion, the war ought to cease, the
war will cease.
