Giurtevo and Turnu- Magureli as the most impor-
tant places OF interest. At the former steam
launches have already arrived and large siege
train is being collected, while three corps-the
Eighth Twelfth and Eleventli--are ready to con-
verge on That point.
THE PROBABLE POINTS or CROSSING.
"on the Aluta, behind Tnrnu-Magureli, the Ninth
corps Is in waiting, and the Thirteenth is on the
march to join it. The Fourteenth corps Is in
Gaatz, but Will proceed westward, and probably
cross about Tchcrnavoda or Kalarash with the
Fourth corps. DESTINATIONS demonstrations are
being made in the neighborhood of lbrai. REM and
lsmail; but imagine they arc merely teints."
MESAcING RusTcHrK.
From seven O'Clock in the evening until midnight
on Sunday large bodies OF Russian troops OF all
arms were marching from Giurgevo to Sobosia,
opposite Rustchuk.
AWAITING REINFoRcEMENTs.
Still another correspondent at Vienna says
''The crossing OF the Danube will be postponed
until the arrival OF the Fourth and Thirteenth
army corps at the front, which will not likely be
before the 18th inst AT present the Eighth, Ninth,
Eleventh and Twelfth corps, about 100000 men, are
concentrated between the Aluta and Giurgevo
HEAVY RAINS CAUSE DELAY.
Bucharest correspondent says:-"The
conclusion that the Roumanian army
premature to say the least Rams
have again delayed operations on the Danube In
consequence of their effect on the roads. although
the river itself has not been materially affected.
OFFICER OR spy
The Times Berlin correspondent telegraphs
that the German press comments upon
an inspired letter In the Vienna semi
Official Political correspondence insinuatng
that Captain Wellesley, the British attache,
and suite supply the Turks with military
intelligence from the Russian camps. There
seems to be no doubt that the Russians,
fancying themselves betrayed are remodelng
their ordre de batatlle on the Danube. While the
Turkish War Ofice insists upon max.
ing defence of the Balkans the decisive
stage of war the Turkish headquarters hope
to be able to assume an energetic offensive In the
event OF the Russians succeeding in crossing the
Danube.
sERvIA's CONDUCT.
In order to avoid ground for the Intervention OF
Austria, Servia will maintain armed neutrality.
This has not prevented the conclusion OF u treaty
between Russia and Servia, enabling Russia to
transport troops through Servia. Already 1000
men are marching toward Gladova and Turn-Sev-
erin.
DIFFICULT EXPLANATION.
M. Rshcs, the Servian agent, gave explanations
Milan to the Gear. He repeated that 1t was solely
intended an act OF courtesy. M. Cristics denied
that the Servian government followed war policy
and cont radicted the report that works were pro.
ceeding at AlexinatZ He said the object OF Servia
in the late war was to gain an extension OF terri
tory In Herzegovina as far Us the Narenta River,
but never to establish Servian independence. The
sovereignty OF the Porte, said NJ. Crstics, was
guarantee for the advancement OF Servia and the
unity OF the race whereas Scrvia, independent,
would fall under the domination OF Russia or
Austria.
WHAT THE PORTE THINKS.
The Porte considers Prince Man's visit to
the Gar an insult to the Sultan Prior
to taking any resolution as regards Seryia the
Porte has asked this Government to give an
opinion on the subject.
MILAN's RETURN.
On Prince Milan's return to Belgrade the Skupts-
china will hold secret session to consider a con-
vention to allow the passage OF Russian troops
through Servia
Prince Milan.oi Servia will leave Bucharest on
Wednesday next Tor Belgrade.
sERvIA MUST BlDH HER TINE.
If the purpose OF Prince Mlan's VISIT to the Car,
says a Bucharest correspondent, was to press for
leave to participate In the war; his representation
have been futile. Prince Milan has received q hint
'
Servias selfdcnal win be reckoned Tor her good
and that her claims will not be overlooked when
the day of settlement arrives.
ENGLISH PREPARATIONS
The Times says orders have been received at
Davenport that no vessel, whose repairs are likely
to take any length OF time Is to be docked ut either
the Davenport or Chatham yards, which are to be
kept Us clear as possible for any eme rgency that
may arise.
scHoUvALorF's LETTER IN ENGLAND.
The Vienna Political COrrespOndences st. Peters
burg letter reports that Count Schouvalons verbal
assurances were considered perfectly satisfactory
by the British government. At the express desire
OF the English Cabinet he was thorized to state
in writing that Russia would respect absolutely
British interests touching the Suez Canal, Egypt
and the Persian Gulf.
1T PLEAsEs EUROPE.
Reports from various Russian ambassadors show
that favorable impression was produced by the
above declaration at other European courts. the
letter further says the wariKe indications in
Greece ana Servia are considered very inconvenl-
ent. Russia would not account Of Servia run the
risk OF any GOODNESS with Austria.
HAVE THE TURKS BEEN TRAPPEDy
Cettnje despatch says 1t was decided a week
ago at Montenegrin council of war not to seriously
oppose the reprovsioning Of Nicscs in consequent
OF the great loss inflicted at Krstaz, and because
the relief OF the town has ceased to have any sig.
nincance. The Turks by advancing into the PLAN
Of Nicsics have walked into a trap, perhaps; for
should the Montenegrins block the Duga Pass the
Turks will be unable to return. lull Is expected
Ior the next few days.
