my CABLE TO THE HERALD. !


The meeting between the Gear and Prince
Charles of Roumania has been looked for
ward to as an event of considerable impor-
lance in it's influence upon the future con-
duct Of the war. The HERALD special cor
respondent at Bucharest telegraphs that the
Emperor Alexander arrived from Ploejesti
at noon yesterday friday, with his entire
military and diplomatic suite. The demon
STATIONS were enthusiastic in the extreme
The streets Of the Roumanian capital were
decorated with flowers and flags, and relig-
ious and civic ceremonies occurred.

SCENES IN THE STREETS.
One hundred thousand people were in
the streets, having gathered from all the
neighboring country to see the Gear of all
the Russias. The Gear received many depu-
tations during the day, and to all was .ex:
ceedingly affable. His Imperial Majesty
seemed to be in the best of humor and
thoroughly satisfied with his reception.

train early in the evening, where grand
illumination was given in his honor The
gardens OF the buildings occupied by the
imperial party were hung with lanterns.
The weather throughout the day and even.
ing was superb From all that can be
gathered OF headquarters perfect under
standing was arrived at between the Gear

be likely to occur to mar the good feelings

The HERALD Vienna correspondent fur.
Their confirms the statement forwarded yes
terday that state of siege has been pro-
claimed at Bucharest, Galotz, Giurgevo and

From the Turkish side it is announced
in Vienna that at Shumla an army OF
GO, 600 men is being concentrated to defend
the Danube shore at the points near there
at which it seems probable that the Russians
will cross.
IMpoTENcY OF THE TURKISH FLoTILLA.
The HERALD correspondent at Rustchuk
telegraphs that portion of the Turkish
fleet is blocked in the Upper Danube. and
that another portion is in even worse con-
dition near the mouth of the river, below
Ibrail. Thus the passage of the enemy (the
Russians) above Tultcha cannot be pre-
vented. and oil the hopes of great deeds
from the Turkish Danubian fotilla Did lair
to prove utterly delusive.
BuLGARIANs, REMEMBER BATAK
The Turks are also in great fear of gen.
eral uprising of the Bulgarians, who have
not forgotten the horrors perpetrated upon
their countrymen at Batak. Throughout
many of the larger towns of Bulgaria the
news of the fall of Ardahan was received
with wild demonstrations Of satisfaction
and cries of 'Long Live the Gar Y The
Turks threaten more horrible butcheries,
but the first outrage of the kind will set the
the country in open rebellion.
