rlew 10 the plsns Of the Russians For some
weeks TO come. the Grand Duke Nicholas will
have to carry on more of n commissariat than a
strategical campaign. The country he has in
vaded ia thoroughly dosolate. He has to i'm
mort every cartridge. every niece of bread and
meat he wants for his men. every quart of oats
and corn for his horses. Immense stores have
to be laid in on both sides OF the Danube before

fit opportunity. He crossed the Danube with
Dragomiron's column at Sstova, while his son
has taken part in all the skirmshcs and recon-
noitering expeditions since the outbreak OF the
war. and among the first officers who
reached the Bulgarian shore 1t must be
knowlcdg"d that the Russian chiefs appear at
present in much more favorable light than the
Turkish. OF Abdul kherim Pasha and his
Generals nobody hears anything Even their
whereabouts is not known. while every tcle-
gram brings us some news Of the move
ments OF the Grand Duke and his Generals.
