The Portland daily press., 1877-06-30

= The News special from Turnu Magurelli
says that all the monitors now on the Danube
are surrounded by torpedoes. 1t is believed
those at Nikopols have been abandoned by
them for two or three days.
The News Vienna correspondent telegraphs
that the Turks have evacuated Nikopolis.
Barely third part of the houses in Guiergevo
are left standing.
Cylinders filled with an extlnguishable com.
pound were fred between Rustchuk and CUR
gevo. There seems an intention to attack Shum-
la from the east. 1t is supposed that the des-
tinati0n of the British fleet is Turkish waters,
perhaps even Constantnople.
The Situation Reviewed.
LONDON, July 1.-The long expected crisis
which Europe has been awaiting has virtually
passed without struggle. The Russian Left
is IN force near Hirsova and all their troops be-
tween Kalorash and Ismail, some 80. 600. have
by this time passed the Danube and driven the
Turks to their second line of defence of Kus-
tendji and Roman walls. These present no
obstacles worth speaking of. 1t is otherwise
with Kustendji itself. There have been some
heavy guns mounted, but not more than 5000
men are there, including the posts and forces
driven in from the banks of the Danube. We
may expect to hear speedily of the investment
of Kustendji by land. The Russian centre has
crossed at Simnitza easily and with trfiing
loss. General Milontine. the Russian War
Minister, sends telegram dated Simnitza
June 30. about the perations in Asia Minor,
but vouchsafes no word concerning Russian
progress at the point now the focus of the
worlds gaze. Assuming, however, that the
crossing near Simnitza is as successful as that
on the left wing we may expect to hear soon of
the crossing at other points by which the Turk
ish Rustchuk and Varna line will be threatened
east and west by at least 10000 men. This
will force the Turks to wheel round and face
the Danube so that Shumla forms their centre
while the left rests on Osman Bazaar and the
right on Bazardgin. The advance of the Rus
sian Rounanian right wing will paralyze Wild
den and thus leave the centre of Bulgaria
practically denuded of troops in the face of
another 10000 or 100000 which the Russians
can pour across at Turnu Magurelli.

THE ASIATIC CAMPAIGN.

NEW YORK, June 30.-A telegram from Ire.
bizond says the Turks on Friday assaulted and
carried the Russian position at Batoum,
achieving great victory. The Russians re-
treated after a severe battle and great loss of
men.
CoNsTANTINopLE, June 30-Dervish Pasha
telegraphed from Batoum, June 29th, as fol-
lows:
'After the recent engagement the Russians
removed their guns from Sampe Heights and
withdrew their left wing to Kossouban. Today
detache column of the Turkish wing at
tackled the Russians and drove them back to
their intrenchments at Djehanguir.'
When Dervish Pasha telegraphed the fight
ing still continued, but the Sampe and Kos.
souban heights were both in his hands.
CoNsTANTINopLE, July 1.-Fuzli Pasha tel
having landed at Tchandjar and commenced to
erect entrenchments, were, on June 9th, at
tackled by 10, 900 Russians. Both sides subse-
quenty were reinforced, the Turkish reinforce
ments arriving by sea from Batoum The
Turks with the assistance of iron clads, routed
the Russians with the loss of 1000 killed and
1000 wounded.
A telegram from the commander of the feet
confirms the foregoing, but the proportion of
losses on the two sides is evidently misrepre-
sented.
Afraid OF their Protectors.
A letter from Erzeroum says the Turks COL
lected at Van for the defence of the country
have struck terror into the whole district. The
streets of the town re-echo with their yiolene
and disorders: The American missionaries
have taken refuge on Lake Van, floating about
the lake during the day and sleeping in some
secluded village at night. The letter gives an
account of outrages and pundering by Kurds
throughout Armenia, which the authorities are
unable or unwilling to prevent.
