power. The army of the Danube dis
couraged by the reverses in Asia is re-
garded as unequal to the contest await
ing it. The beiplessness of the Turk
ish Ministry and the indecission of the
Sultan show that the Government de-
ponds more upon English Intervention
than upon their own prowess. Dis
patches to the English envoy represent
that unless instant steps are taken The
Russians will be within striking dis
lance of Consiantiuople from the east
within a month. The Russians now
in Asia are in a condition to attack
Mukhlar Pasha, capture his army and
strike for Constantinople without seri-
Gus obstacles. The English Foreign
Office has within a week secured the
exclusive use Of q wire 10 CONSTANT
nople, and unintermittent correspond
ence has been carried on. The Eng
lish press and members of Parliament
comment with bitterness on the Rus
sian deception and point out thai the
objects of the war have been ignored,
and that iusiead of relieving the So
called outrages in Bulgaria the Rus
SLAMS are waging war in the East where
English interests are j~eopardized iy
every stroke of her arms. Next week,
under the pretence of a grand review,
the entire English ironclad squadron,
not in the East, will assemble at Ports
mouth.

The Herald correspondent with the
Russian headquarters at Ploejesti des-
cribing the destruction Of the Turkish
monitor on the Danube says: Four
gunboats left Ibrall on the % under
command of Lieutenant Deuhausoff.
About two hours steaming brought
the Russian g~unboats where the Turk
ish ironclads lay anchored in the
stream, and without delay the signal
to attack vas given. Lieutenant Deu-
bausoff made an admirable disposition
of his gunbnats, and in the conduct OF
the action displayed great courage and
sound judgement. Taking the lead i'll
the advance he ran his " gunboat
in between the Turkish ironclad with
out paying any heed to the heavy fire
which the monitors opened on the ap-
preaching punboats. Selecting the
longest oil the monitors, Lieutenant
Deubausotf ran his boat alongside, and
succeeded In exploding a torpedo nm
der her side causing n bad leak but
damaging her sufficiently TO dis
able her. This partial failure was,
however, soon RENE lied by h gun
boat Xenia, which had closely follow
eel the C~zarowitz, and approaching The
Turkish monitor, succeeded in explod-
ing under her n second torpedo; this
brilliant action did not occupy more
than twenty minutes from the moment
of giving the signal to attack Jill che
withdrawal of the gunboats. During
the action the Turks kept up a cou-
slant fire apon the assailiants, but the
aim OF the artillerists was so bad that
not a single Russian was struck. The
effect OF the torpedo attack is likely to
prove very demoraiiziny to the Turk-
ish fleet in the Danube. II definitely
settles the question Of the value of the
Turkish fleet in preventing the pas.
sage of the Danube, and will probably
induce the Turkish ironclads to re-
nov from the dangerous neighbour
hood OF the Russian gunboats.
