LONDON, June 25.-The 7imcs, in q
leading article commenting on q cor
respondence between Gortschskoff and
Earl Derby, published Saturday, says
that frsnkness has not been met by
frsnkness, and the result is q convic-

A special dispatch from Bucharest to
the Times, dated Sunday, says that
preliminary operations on the Danube
have commenced in earnest. Bon.bard-
ment contisues along the whole line
to-day, including the batteries at DIN
itzs, Biek, Grovedie and Kalafst.
The Turks are reported to be prepsr-
ing to concentrate their forces on the
lower Danube and the fortresses form
ing q Observation-Disclosures, Silis-
tria, Shumia and Varnn, leaving the
Widdin forces isolated.
A special dispatch from Vienna to
the Nescs confirms the foregoing, and
says one Russian division will march
along the Danube to Czoernsvoda,
where the railway for Kestendje begins,
while another division will march
southeast into the interior of Druid
houdscha and threaten the garrisons
of Issktchi and Tullucha.
Note. The Times telegram an.
nouncing the evacuation of Tullucha
and Isskaha was subsequent to this,
which, however, shows that the Neaos'
dispatch is likely to be true.
The Neaos' Vienna dispatch also says
that tho next crossing will probably be
at Turns or Majervelea in at few days,
and thus the Russians can outfank
from two sides at least two strong fort
resses of the quadrilatsral and Rust
chuck, Silistris, Varns and Shumla,
besides cutting the communication of
Shumla.
