COMPLETE RUSSIAN SUCCESS.
1.-THE success of the Russians at the cross.
ing here was complete. The landing was
safely made under great natural difficulties,
and it is worthy Of remark that there was
not the slightest delay after the troops
began passing until every man was across.
THE czAR ON THE GROUND.
cat three o'clock on Saturday morning
the Car, Czarowitch, the Grand Duke
Nicholas and aides-de-camp arrived at
Ibrail from Ploejesti. The entire de-
tails OF the crossing on the previous day
were communicated to the Emperor.
The Gear and his entire staff Wis.
tied, inspected and finally rode across
the pontoon bridge. All then re-
turned to headquarters amid the widest
cheering from the troops drawn up ready
to pass over. These men belonged to the
last part of the two corps which continued
passing into the Dobrudscha all day Satur-
day and long into the night.
THE GEAR AT GALATz.
''In the afternoon the Gar and his staA
proceeded by special train to Galatz, and
afterward visited the encampment at Monte
mento suburb of Galatz, where tho
Russian army was quartered when it firsA
came to Galatz, nearly two months ago.
THE GRAND DUKE HARANGUEs HIS MEN.
''While the Gar was absent from Galatz
the Grand Duke Nicholas proceeded to the
river banks and harangued the troops,
which were preparing to cross with orders
to march to the support of the forces at
Matchin. The men manifested all the
enthusiasm which recent victory and respect
for commander inspires.
EFFECT OF THE CARS PRESENCE.
''The sudden and unannounced arrival of
the Car produced even wilder scenes Of
pride and joy. He rode up to the side Of
the Grand Duke and said few words,
which, although inaudible to those even
who stood near him, were interpreted as
cheerful and kind. AS the Gar rode away
the troops with one voice sang the national
hymn.
THE GEAR RETURNS TO PLoEJEsTI.
"At the railroad station, although the night
was setting in, another ovation awaited the
party. The cheers never ceased from the
time the imperial party came in sight until
the train moved off The Gear, Czarowitch,
Grand Duke and suite returned to Ploeiesti.
QUIET NIGHT.
Although the Russian troops were full
Of enthusiasm, last night passed quietly
enough. Indeed, SO fatigued was that I
slept soundly on the floor Of the public
room Of the miserable hotel, with army
officers and others walking about and talk
ing.
OFT FOR MATcHIN.
"This morning rose ut Ave o'clock, and,
having fleet horse, set out again for
Matchin. Riding ON horseback across this
country is decidedly different from canter
in Central Park or over the smooth roads OF
England. I was mistaken for q courier
and allowed to pass all pickets. No mis-
take had been made however, about having
my passes ready to show at q moments

THR PEOPLE ALL FLED.
'In company with several Russian officers
l rode about the village. Not single
inhabitaht was to be seen. They had oil
fled, l was informed, with the retreating
army. During the forenoon, however, they
began to struggle in from their hiding
places among the mountains, finding their
houses cleaned out.
LooTrNo THE TOWN.
1.-THE Russians are firm and relentless with
their enemies, and the action Of the citi.
zens in following the Turkish troops
placed their property under the
ban. Had they remained, the or
ders issued were that not
civilian should be molested. and that everys
