[Dy CABLE TO THE HERALp.1
LONDON, June 10, 1877.
The news from the seat OF war in the East
is decidedly mengre this morning. Not only
are the details wanting of the reported re-
pulse of the Russians on the Danube, but
the accounts of the movements OF the Cars
forces in Asia Minor are SO curiously vague as
to raise grave doubts US to their credibility.
A despatch from Constantinople declares
that the Russians attempted to cross the
Danube in force between Nikopolis and
Vienna despatch says the Russians not only
intend to occupy Bulgaria, but have made
all arrangements for remaining at least three
years in the vilayet Of Adrianople.
FROM ASIA MINOR.
Dispatches from Erzeroum, dated June G.
contain the following information regarding
the campaign in Armenia-"A Russian
force from Ardahan has reached Ardanudsch
The Governor and four battalions Of the
Turkish garrison Of Arabian have reached
Erzeroum. The Governor will be court
martialed. There has been skirmish with
the advance of the Russian right wing near
hartman.
FLANK MOVEMENTS
Mukhtar Pacha has sent a force to cut
the communications of the Russian right
and centre. There is no news from Kars.
| WHY DID THEY RETREAT?
| Mukhtar Pacha telegraphs to Constanti-
nople, from Erzeroum, under date Of June
| G. that the Russians have rctreated from
Olti to Perak. There had been no engage
ment.
YET ANOTHER VERSION.
A telegram from Constantinople, dated
Saturday afternoon, says the latest des-
patches from Erzeroum State that the
Russians continue their advance. Mukhtar
Pacha has drawn closer to Erzeroum, where
a battle appears imminent
WHY MARTIAL LAW WAS PROCLAIMED.
One Of the chief causes Of the proclama-
ton Of state Of siege was the delay and IN
satisfactory working of the Roumanian rail-
ways. All railway officials are now brought
under subsection to the military authorities.
A state Of siege having been proclaimed in
Roumania kilograms concerning military
movements henceforth will be stopped
GERMAN WAR SHIPS BOUND EASTWARD.
The German iron-clad squadron which is
now on its way to the East has been ordered
to proceed with greater speed. A second
practice squadron, consisting of seven ves-
sells, is about to be formed. The Admiralty
are preparing to enlist additional seamen.
No persons liable to service in the navy are
permitted to leave their districts.

garian Diet at Pesth yesterday that he
would interpellate the government regard
ing the principles OF its policy in the East
namely, whether a convention exists be-
tween Austro-Hungary and one Of the
! belligerents, and whether annexation or oc-
cupation is intended.
