THE EASTERN CONFLICT.
Turkey Eager for the Fray.
LONDON. July IA London dispatch saws
the Standards correspondent at CONSTANT
nople telegraphing on Saturday, said that
no important movement would be made by
the Turks until About Kerim, commander
IN chief or the army, should have reached
the army, which he did Sunday. Kerfm is
too old, and has little knowledge OF military
service, but Is accompanied by Sulieman
Pacha, director general OF the military col
lege, who has received European military
training. 1t is stated that there are 40 900
Turkish troops In and around Nissa. This
is probably an under estimate as the Turks
have hitherto kept secret the number OF
troops at any point, and fresh forces are be-
ing continually dispatched from CONSTANT
nople. These troops are full OF enthusiasts
or fanaticism.
Turkish Fanaticfsrn Aroused.
The Standards correspondent telegraphs:
troops, guns, and stores OF all kinds con-
t1nue to be sent to the seat of war. Toe
Keeling against the Servians Is very strong,
and the fanatfcal passions OF the Turks are
now SO thoroughly reused that the Serviaus,
II beaten, must expect TO receive no mercy.
The Servians, too, are drawing all their
troops TO General Rehernaief7s army. The
city. of Belgrade is almost depopulated, and
is completely drained OF troops. The Oldest
members OF the reserves and the youngest OF
the recruits have been already called out TO
public enemy. The latest reports from the
seat OF war say fighting is now going on
around Nissa. The rumors in circulation

easily seen TO have no foundation in
Tact. The iron gates are impossible for ships
drawing much water, and during the months
oiJuly and August, when the river reaches
It's low water stage, the Danube navigation
company use steamers drawing only 8 feet
water, and even at middle water level the
10 Anw,
exist on the Servian bank OF the Danube
FULLY commanding the stream. 1t is reported
Dy Inc correspondent OF the Standard that
the Servfans have thrown up strong fortifi-
cations at Belgrade and Semendria' and in
front OF Ada Ralesi, and that no possible
chance remains for coup de main by the
Turkish fiotilla.
Russia and Austria.
A conflict between Austria and Russia is
feared, Notwithstanding Reuters assertion
that In Vienna the impression prevails that
al aanger OF the war being extended beyond
It's present limits In Europe is reg arded as
being averted.
Andrassy's Hatred OF Rassfa.
1t Is TO be hoped that the runors of Count
his hatred of Russia and of the SIsvso In
general unit him for the position Of guiding
Austria In this crisis.
Turkeys Press Supervision.
Inc following. sent by the correspondent
light on official news furnished by Turkey.
The press bureau Informs the public that
all bulletins OF news from the seat OF war
which may be published by the newspapers,
either In the body Of the papers themselves,
or In separate slips. and which do not bear
upon the face OF them that they are COM
municated by the press bureau, must be liza
Die TO be regarded as fictitious, or at all
events inexact. The Porte having thus done
its best TO cast doubt on all news not circu-
lated by itself, II has for two whole days
given no information whatever to the Jour-
rails, alleging that IL has nothing OF import
ance to communicate. The result OF this
proceeding Is that countless rumors of disas-
ter and of the defeat or the Turks are In cir
culation, and that the markets are much de-
pressed.
