ON THE DANUBE,
A Review of the Situation.


LONDON, July 15.-There is no trustworthy
news from the armies in Bulgaria. The recent
special desatch announcing that great battles
were progressing there prove entirely ground
less. That the Russians are closing in upon
Rustchuk is probable, although their concen-
traton must still be in very backward state
since telegraphic communication between Rust
chuk and Shumla was intact Friday. How
ever, Constantinople.despatc dated Saturday
announces that the BussianS are at RaSgard,
and probably have already cut railway near
that point. 1t is conieetured by some that the
Turks will maintain the defensive line extend
ing from Rustchuk via Shumla to Osman Bo-
Ear. The Constantinople telegram mentioned
strongly opposed this presumption since the
chief object of such defensive line would be
to protect!theirailway which feeds the quadri-
lateral This railway has now been apparently
cut by the Russians without opposition. A
more plausible theory is that the Turks will
await the development of the Russian cam
paign in expectation that Rustchuk and Shnm-
la must be besieged and one or both will be re-
duced before an advance on the Balkans can
be undertaken. They hope thus to consume
the season wherein operations are practicable,
as Rustchuk and Shumla are believed to be ca
pable of a heightened resistance, and mean
time the Balkan passes could be strengthened
and reinforced. Two things appear certain.
First, that the Russians cannot seize the passes
of the Balkans or Sophia by coup-de-main as
was at one time expected, since the Turks have
already taken precautions against such a move
ment. Second, the single bridge at Simnitza
remains the only means of communicating
with and supplying the army south of the
Danube. AS this bridge must be barely requis-
lite for the day to day requirements, and has
been several times broken by storms and the
current of the river, there cannot yet have
been any such accumulation of material and
transports at Sstova. as would justify general
advance.
1t seems improbable. therefore, that the Rus
slams can originate any very startling move
ment for the present, and if the Turks choose
to keep their Notifications the advces from
Bulgaria bid fair to continue of the same un-
Interesting character as heretofore for several
weeks at least.
The Russians still hold Ardahap, the Turks
having withdrawn all troops from the Monte
negro frontiers except the garrsons of forts
and blockhouses. Prince Nicholas is prepar-
ing to besiege Nicsics again.
Reported Victory for the Turks.
A correspondent at Tirnova telegraphs urder
date of Thursday last that Grand Duke Mich
olas had arrived there.
A despatch from Constantinople reports that
the Turks have beaten the Russians and reoccn-
pied TirnOva; also that Ismeil Pasha has en-
tered Russian territory end advanced six miles
on the road to Tiflis.
A Bocharest special says that it is reported
that there has been serious fighting between
Drenova and Gabrova. The Turkish monitor
ashore at the mouth of the Danube has been
towed off by two consorts.

AUSTRIA,

LONDON, July 15.-Offcial declarations of
Austria's neutrality continue to be issued in

contrary sense. 1t is not noticeable, how
ever, that the effnsIve references to good un-
derstanding with Russia and integrity of the
three Emperors alliance, which before the out.
break of hostiities characterized every COM
mique from Austrian chancellory are now uni
formly absent, and the declarations are confined
to the bare assertion of continued neutrality,
that such neutrality is jealously. The watch
from the fact that Roumania aad Serva still
refrain from active cooperation in the war.
Both are the msrest creatures of Russia's
will. Their help would be valuable in Bulga.
ria now, especially that of Servia. If Russia
he states to call them into action the reason in
all probability is fear of Austrian Intervention,
which would be fatal to Russian plans

New YORK, July 14-A prominent New

him he no longer expects Republican Speaker
but thinks the Southern Conservatives ought to
support an independent candidate against the

did not thereby intend to commit himself to
the Democratic party. He also said that
Hayes is generally endorsed in New England,

dents policy be carried out, and if it proves to
be failure, say so but give him chance.
Marshal Pitkin stated at Cincinnati, yester-

THE INDIAN WAR.
4 HARD BATTLE WITH THE
REDS.
GENERAL HOWARD Is VIC
TOREOUS.
Several Accounts Of the
Battle.

WASHINGTON, July 14.-A telegram from
Gen. Howard, dated Camp Williams, on Clear
water River, near north of the Cottonwood,
July 18th, says, that by forced march he
struck the enemy yesterday about 300 strong in
a deep canon near the mouth of the Cotton
wood, near the south fork of Clear river, and
opened fire at once with strong howitzer, and
succeeded in starting the Indians from their
position. The battle began in good earnest
They formed in ravins and be hind rocks for
seven hours. Every charge made gained on
them. We sheled the Indians rapidly from
high bluffs as they attempted to escape, ard
followed them and went into their camp. The
Indians lost 13 killed and cutie large number
wounded. We have Capt. Bancroft, Lieut..
Williams and IL enlisted men killed and 29
wounded. Their camps were abandoned in
great haste leaving much plunder. The In
dians fought as we'll as any troops ever saw,
and SO did ours, not one man failing duty. l
now believe that am in fine condition. AS
soon as Green appears from the Boise we will
make thorough work with these Indians.
They are making for the Snake country and 1
fear concentration at Mount Idaho. Troops
never done harder or more rapid campaigning
or better fighting than here.
Gen. McDowalrs aide-de-camp telegraphs as
follows:
II have been with Gen. Howard in the battle
of,to-day, which he reports in detail. 1 consid-
Ell. this most important success. Joseph is
in. full flight west Nothing can surpass the
yigor of General Howard's movement and ac-
tion.''
Gen. McDowall telegraphs the following in
regard to the above: -
My aid is an officer of experience in actual
service and his judgment is entitled to consid-
GRAFTON. am therefore infinitely relieved and
rejoiced to hear his report of Howard's success,
which comes most opportunely, as the reserva.
tlon Indians are supposed wavering if not dis
posed to join the hostiles, because of Joseph's
first success L think his defeat will tend to
cause them to remain percable and may make
it unnecessary to act under the Presidents au-
thority to call out volunteers for temporary ser
vice. 1 will at least defer action till get
Howard's report.
