BLOCKING UP THE MOUTH
OF THE DANUBE.


Publicity has just been given to the
Circular of the Russian Government ex-
planning the Temporary blocking up OF the
Sulina mouth Of the Danube. It. was Ori-
ginaily addressed by NJ. NaIilof to N.
Hamburger, aad was then forwarded to
the Russian Ambassadors, who commune
Gated it to the various Powers. 1t is in
these terms:-
"Orlers have been given to scuttls
soma vessels laden with stones in the
Sniina 5%ranct, in order temporarily to
Obsuuct the navigation Of that part OF the
Danube. T0a 90 ect Of this measure was
to prevent tue free movements OF t0o
Turkish ilone.als, which were taking taaE
route in order to impede our c9mmnnica-
tons with the Other bank Of the Danube,

Moreover, tie temporary obstruction Ct
the Sulina can in no way compromise The
future Interests Of European navigation

motives which LED him to order this mea-
sure Will be fairly estimated by friendly
Cabinets, who will see that it was neces-
sary for strategicaI purposes aud for the
protection of the communications OF our
Army. We, therefore, rejoice to think
that, after the above explanations, the

Danube will not give rise to %ulSeElor COM

BISMARCK'S OPINIONS.

It would seem from Them that the even
tuality of d speedy success of the Russians
over the Turkish Army, snd Consequent
ly the approaching cud of the war, ais not
seen with pleasure by Prince Bismarck.
He is at this very moment alleged to be
urging the Russian Government to place
no absolute filth in the friendehip of
Austria, which, in his opinion, is treating
secretly with the English Cabinet for a
basty mediation. Russia. he thinks, should
not rely on Austrian promises, as AustIia
is half Magyar, that is Turkish, half
Ultremontane, from which no real pro-
g~ress;ve policy can be expected. Russia
should Join with Germany ard England.

before retiring. Alter working until Il or

the disadvantages. The state of the

Van Conner tomorrow, destined for
LApwai. The total military force will
not aggregate 400 troops, which
is totally inadequate to cope with the
Indians The combined forces of Chief
Joseph and White Bird do not exceed
200 warriors, but there Is q number OF
disinterested tribes who it is generally
feared will be drawn into active hostili-
ties. Those who are acquainted with
the vast region OF the country west and
north of the Bitter Root mountains, say
that from 1900 to 1000 warriors can be
brought into the field in short
time, embracing the non treaty
Nezperces tribes, Cour, De Leon
Spoken, Flat. .heads, Pslinz and other
scattered bands. 1t is generally thought
that the uprising was premiditated and
that there we're concerted and well ma
tured plans of action on the part OF the
Indiana The scene was located in
Idaho, adjacent to Lewiston, on wha! Is
known as "Comas' prairie" The distance
from Lewiston TO Wslls Wslls by river
is l60 miles, which is the nearest point
where the telegraph can be reached. The
distance from Portland is over 400 miles.
CHICAGO, June 19.-Lieut. General
Sheridan hiss received the following dis
patch from San Francisco:
"The following telegram has been re-
ceived from Gen. Howard, dated Fort
Lspwsi, June l6:
"The Indians OF White Birds and
Joseph's bands murdered about twenty
people in the scattered settlements about
twenty wIes from here eastward. Capt.
Perry, with two companies, made q
forced march thither, and the 1Rdians
fed with fresh horses. 1t is hoped they
will be overtaken before crossing the
Sa.mon river. Please notify Forts Hail,
Shaw, Ellis and other eastern posts"
Another band aed north by Spaksnts
and they may combine near the Fiat
head agency pretending TO be peaceful.
Fort Bsise will head them if possible.
Gen. Sheridan does not look Tor
general rising among the Indians, who
have not been considered by the soldiers
as fighting indians. He believes that
they will now attempt 10 make terms
and will not give the military further
trouble
A Portland press dispatch say that
dispatch has just been received from
Wslla Wslls to the effect that young
man has reached there from Montana,
where he hsd been with drove OF cat
