RUsToHUK, June 25. The Sunday
night bombardment of this town by the
Russians became terrible. The Turks
stood the fire with great GOODNESS and re-
piled vigorously and with good aim. A
shell fell in the prison and killed two
| prisoners. Several noncombatants have
been killed and wounded. Shots struck
the German, English and Belgian Con-
sulates. Shells also burst near the hos
pital, but the Russian fire seems to be
directed against the centre of the town.
New YORK, June 25. Kiernan's tel
egram from Constantinople says: A
dispatch from Rustchuk states that an
unsuccessful attempt by the Russians to
effect crossing near Rustchuk was fol-
lowed by severe battle on the Danube,
in which the Turkish gunboats had TAX
en- active part. Giurgevo, opposite Rust
chuk, occupied by the Russians, was set
on fire by the Turkish shells, and is now
in flames. Heavy firing is still going
on.
LONDON, June 26.-The Times dis
patch from Erzeroum confirms the report
that Mukhtar Pasha was successful in
the fighting of June 81. The lombard.
ment of Kars is very severe, and the
garrison is suffering greatly.
Dervish Pasha telegraphs from Batoum
on June %: "We have repulsed several
attacks of the Russians, and finally COM
PEELED them to withdraw their batteries
and retreat with the loss of 1900 killed
and wounded. Darkness coming on we
could not bring up our artillery, and,
therefore, did not occupy the intrench-
ments which the Russians abandoned,
but returned to our former positions.
ST. PETERSBURG, June %. Grand
Duke Nicholas telegraphs as follows
1.-The difficult and complicated task of
crossing the Danube is achieved. SIS
tova and the surrounding nights are in
our hands. General Dragomirof's Di-
vision, with the Mountain Artillery, was
the first to cross, the Volhynian Regi-
ment leading the van. There are now
(the evening of the 27th) on the other
side the Eighth Army Corps and the
Fourth Rife Brigade. The 35th Divis-
ion is now crossing"
Private dispatches announce that the
Russian headquarters have been trans
ferred to Simnitza. Flags are flying all
over st. Petersburg, and the solemn SER
vice of thanksgiving has been celebrated
in the cathedral.
LONDON. June %. The Standard
Bucharest dispatch says the Russian of
tcials are surprised, as are the general
public. at the ease with which the cross
ing of the Danube was effected and at
the slightness of the resistance. The
Turks seemingly made up their minds
, that the passage would be attempted at
Turnu Magureli. The tremendous bom-
bardment at Nicopolis also served to d.
vert attention and confirm them in this
, opinio n. A greater portion of the troops
> now at Turnu Magureli have received
f orders to march upon Simnitza and cross
there.
The correspondent sums up the result
of operations as follows: The Russian
e left is in great force near Hirsova, anG
is being constantly strengthened. Tht
D right has secured crossing at Simnitzs
with ease, so that we may say the Dan
: ubian passage is secured. The centr,
e has choice of concentrating upon tn,
