LONDON, June 10.-The Times's vi
emma dispatch says the Turks are col
lecting an army of reserve westward
of Sofia.
The garrison Of Widdin is being re-
duced, part of the troops still remain

the army in the field. 1t Is intended,
apparently, to oppose the Russian
force which Is expected to cross in the
neighborhood of Nicopolis.

The difficult task of forcing an en-
trance from Dugar Pass into the plains
of Nicsic still remains for Suleman
Pashs. In this neither Ali Saib nor
Mohammed Ali can assist him much.
A correspondent at Berlin telegraphs
"a very serious impression has been
caused by articles in yesterdays and
to-day's National Zeitung discussing
the crisis in France, declaring that an
Ultramontane regime, which alone could
succeed the republic, is irreconcilablc
with European peace. l know these
articles reflect very faithfully the views
of government circles here. 1nforma-
ton that the French are already renew
ing their military preparations Oh the
frontier is received here with credit"
LONDON, June ia Times cores :
pondent at the Montenegrin headquar-
tiers says the report that provision
train was captured is unfounded. The
fortress was revictualcd after four
hours fighting. This success enables
Suleiman to concentrate his forces for
an attack on Gen. Vukavich's position
in Dugar Pass. The Montenegrin
army will be concentrated to meet him,
and the battle will be decisive of the
fate of Nicsic. 1t is thought probable
that Suleiman, though losing heavily,
will penetrate to Nicsic. If he should
be defeated his army will extricate
itself with great difficulty, and will
risk total destruction.
MEMPHIS, June 1.-THE flood OF
Wolf river caused a break over one

pected to go out this evening.
NORTHAMPTON, Mass, June IL
Later intelligence from the scene of
murder near Hatfield states that Jared
Wheeler, colored, about twenty-six
years old, living near by, murdered
his aunt, Harriet Wheeler, yesterday.
There was some spite between the par
ties, which might have been the cause
of the murder.
LONDON, June IA special dis.
patch from Vienna to the Times has
the following: SIT would appear that
the Russian points tor crossing the
Danube will be chosen east and west
of the Turkish quadrilateral, and that
while the eastern column keeps in
check the Turkish forces uassed in
and about the fortress, the western
column will act as field army in the
operation against the flank or rear of
the Turkish position. The line chosen
for the operation of the western column
is most advantageous one, for along
it are fair roads over the Balkans
one from Pleneria and Sofia and an
other from Sisteva over Siftka pass to-
wards Philipopolis. Although tie
Turks are outnumbered by the Rus
SLAMS, and although with the greatest
exertion they will scarcely be able to
oppose anything like an equivalent
force to the four corps concentrated by
the Russians on that side, yet by
taking up central position between
Pleneria and Bella, with the help OF
monitors and batteries, they may throw
considerable obstacles in their way of
crossing"
