don special says it Is believed that
Turkish resistance is approaching nn
end. The nnnihilation OF the Turkish
army in Armenia substantially ends the
campaign in Asin. Although it may bH
n few weeks before tho Russians occupy
all the principal points, it is 30 patent
to all that the Turkish power is broken

Turkish downfall in Asia, and that the
result will be most dangerous to the
English hold on the Indian population.

10000 men. 1t is impo ssible for any
supplies to get in or for Osman to get

somo extraordinary blunder, the cap
ture Of Osman nnd his army is q near
certainty. His very limo of retreat
across tho Vid is securely held by The
Russinns with an overwhelming force.
