garded with great dissatisfaction by inf u
entail Turks, who consider it simply as a
sign that England is preparing to seize
her share Of the plumber.
VIENNA, July ct is rumored that by
the advice of Austria kind of informal
armistice will be established in Montene-
gro. both sides maintaining the defensive.
Next week about 80 900 troops will en-
bark for Trebizond to reinforce the army
of Armenia
In consequence of the remonstrance of
England the Porte has sent imperative
orders to the commander of the Black Sea
fleet to render the blockade more effect

LONDON, July 1.-THE Military situation
now appears to be as follows: The Turks
have changed front and face to the west
ward. Since the Russian entrance into
Bulgaria the Russians are deploying with
their left flank resting on the Danube i to
force the Turkish line from Rustchuk Ito
Shumla. When this movement is COM
pleted general battle may be expected
unless the Turks fall back to Balkans, or
the Russian mask the whole quadrilateral
and turn it by passing the Balkans. The
Russian forces coming through
Dobondocke are approaching the rear of
the Turkish line Of Rustchuk and Shumla.
This column is too strong to be opposed
bp any force detached from the Turkish
main body while the main body itself can
not turn upon it without exposing its rear
to the Russian main force. This situa-
ton entirely ignores the existence of
Silistria, Varnaans and Kutendze and later
information fixes the garrisons at these
places respectively $4,000, 10000 and
10000, which, operating on the flank or
rear of the Russian Dobrudocha
force would paralyze its efforts to coop
crate with the army in Central Bulgaria.
Besides the garrisons of these fortified
places, Sulieman Pasha's army, which is
now stated to be embarking at Antivan,
could be landed at Varna, which would
make the number of Turks on the Russian
or left flank alone over $4,000. The Rus
sian Dobrudscha corps is stated to number
only 10000.
BUCHAREST, July "a correspondent
states that Turkish men, of-war are cruis-
ing about the mouths of the Danube,
seeking an entrance.
Prince Tcherkasski has been sent in all
haste to Tirnova, probably to establish a
provisional government of Bulgaria.
Official dispatches report that the Rus
sian cavalry has reached Drenova, south
of Tirnova. They also have marched
eastward on the roads towards Osman
Bazaar
Wounded are daily arriving at Buchar-
est from Simnitza An American sur
geon who is inspecting the hospital ar
rangements at Bucharest. pronounces
them everything that could be desired,
and expresses surprise at finding all mod
ern improvements. Accounts from the
Turkish side show that the Turkish ar
engagements at Rustchuk, in this respect,
are shockingly mismanaged.
LONDON, July "a Bucharest cores
pondent under date of the 18th Of July,
says indications are observable that Rus
sia's efforts to dissuade Roumania from
taking an active part in the campaign, is
merely designed 10 allay Austria's appre-
tensions. The correspondent thinks it
probable that the advance guard of the
ROumanians may cross at SlmnltZa and
work up the southern bank of the Danube
until they can secure crossing place
where they can be joined by the main
body.
A Vienna dispatch saws the Roumanians
have dispatched officers to Galatz and the
Carpathians to collect bridging material
for crossing the Danube somewhere be-
tween Graja and Turnu Maguerelli. The
preparations must necessarily take some
time. The idea of crossing at Tierneverin
was abandoned because Austria informed
the Roumanian agent in Vienna that if the
Roumanians entered Servia they might
find themselves face to face with an Aus
trian army.
A London correspondent with Mukhtar
Pasha's headquarters telegrapls under
of IF fh0 Of
lunar: "There are no Russians between
us and Kars The communication is so
open that the English attaches, Captain
McCalhoun and Trotter, have to-day rid |
den into the fortress"
whose abilities are generally spoken of
favorably, starts Immediately for Adriano- |
pie to take command of the Balkan army. |

talions on the north side of Kars. The

pletely free from Russians on the 4th in
slant.
Mutapha Pasha, the new governor of
Kars, has left Mukhtar Pasha with rein
forcement Of 1000 men for the garrison of
Kars.
The Russian column has been defeated
in an attempt to enter Ardamitsch and
driven back on Arabian where a great
concentration of Russian troops is pro-
ceeding.
Three battalions had been dispatched
from Telibaba to reinforce Mukhtar Pasha
