tured by the Russians before the Do
brudscha army can be any further menace to
the quadrilateral. Kistendje may be cut
of, but it can hardly be captured, sup
ported as are its defences by the Turkish
war vessels.
NEARING RUsTcHUK.
Pera despatch says Cossacks have been
seen within few hours ride of Rustchuk.
WILD ARABS FOR THE DANUBE.
The Turks are not indifferent to the crisis
which is now upon them. On Sunday
$4,000 troops from Arabia arrived at
Smyrna, intended for the reinforcement of
the army in Armenia, but were at once re-
shipped for Constantinople under orders to
join the Army of the Danube This means
much new sorrow and devastation for suffer-
ing Bulgaria.
TO MEET THE INVADER.
The Turkish troops which were to have
garrisoned the Greek frontier have been or
dered to join the army in Bulgaria.
THE SOUTHERN poBRupscHA.
The HERALD's correspondent at Itzkane
telegraphs later information than that from
Rustchuk regarding the Dobrudscha adj
vance. He declares that General Zim-
norman, commanding the Fourteenth
corps. now occupies Medshidieh (Medjide).
Therefore, it would appear that the Rus
SLAMS have already cut off Kastendje fro M
the interior.
STILL THEY COME.
The same correspondent states that the
Russians still continue to cross the Danube
in large numbers, and new battalions are
daily hurried forward from the north.
ANOTHER ARMY
A second Russian army is in course of
formation. 1t will be commanded by the
Grand Duke vlad imir, with General Zamo-
iski as chief of staff, and will advance to
the west against Sofa.
MUST RUSSIA FIGHT ENGLAND?
The Russian staff officers are greatly dis
quieted by the despatch Of the English
feet to Besika Bay and also by the unsettled
condition Of France, whose sympathy for
Russia is confidently expected, however, if

MORE HORRORS IN BOSNIA.
The HERALDs representative at Spalato,
Dalmatia telegraphs that the Turks are now
committing atrocities in Bosnia which sur
pass in horror the butcheries in Bulgaria,
which occurred year ago this spring. Un-
armed and inoffensive peasants, men and wo-
men, are slaughtered in their fields, in their
huts, in the streets of villages and their
bodies mutilated by the Turkish soldiery.
Turkey has thus taken the most effectual
method of forcing Austria to occupy the
province and to become her open enemy.
The reason for the massacres is probably to
be found in the fact that the Turks are
about to evacuate the province
AUSTRIA AND BOSNIA
The Times of yesterday, in a leading article CON-
mentng recent reports Of the movements Of
Austrian troops, says:-"The Austrans can scarcely
delay much longer the inevitable occupation Of
Bosnia, and there is every reason to believe the
Turks would withdraw from the province rather
than drive the Court Of Vienna into the position OF
ON open foe.'
IN A STATE OF SIEGE.
A despatch from varna announces that that town
was declared in q state of siege on Sunday last.
