specids Dispatch 10 The Tribune
NEW YORK, Aug. 1880 a. m.-The corrc-
spondeEt Of the New York 1snes at Bucharest
telegraphs that the Russian General Schildner
Schuldner will be summoned before court
martial for trial on charges of neglect Of duty
and general incapacity. He had no outposts
in the rear OF his position when surprised
At Plevna on the 18th Of July, and he allowed
his first brigade to be repu}scd on the Goth and
destroyed on. the 23d because he did not order
m advance Of his reserve forces. Gen.
krudncr will also be court-martialed for
neglecting to takc possession OF the deliles
through which Osnan Pasba's retnforrements
passed on the 2sth OF July, and for the general
fncapacfty displayed by him in the combats Of
the 29th and 30th OF July.
ON THE OTHER SIDE,
Abdul Kerim will be court~martialed tor utter
worthlessness, and Esehridt Pasha for attempt
ing to sell the Turkish position at Rustchuk to
the Russians, after the manner Of Yousef Pasha
st Varna in the war Of 1928.
Russia is hardly justified in her scapegoats,
for they did exactly what they we're told to do;
but the fact remains that somebody must be
disgraced for the inglorious defeats before
Plcvna, at Rasgrad, Silistria, and EsltSaehra,
all OF which are important victories to inczibc
on the Turkish banners.

Parliament will break up next week without
asking the vote Of credit to meet extraordinary
expenditures, the recent Russian defeats having
altered the situation SO much that it Ia deem
ed unnecessary. For the same reason Austria
is becoming more settled in her policy
of neutrality. Nevertheless, politically con-
sidered, the crisis Is thought by far-seeing
statesmen to be exceptionally dangerous at the
present moment. This is owing to the intrisues
OF Prince Bismarck with the Governments OF

NEW IoRK, Aug. H-3:30 a. m.-The Times
special cable from London says: The uew:
| from the seaI Of war to-day is so confused aud
SO indefinite that it is impossible to sift the
truth from the great mass Of dispatches con.
st2ntly arriving. There are many uncertain re,
ports OF battles, but nearly as soon as
they arrive dentais come from one side or the
other, as the case may be. The Russians arc
determined not to allow the truth to come
when they are defeated, while the Turkish Gen
erals are maintaining q discreet ailence
in regard to all movements Of the
slightest importance, whether they
result successfully for their side or otherwise,
When they are obliged to talk they dilate at
great length OH the mu1titudinous
REPORTS OF RUSSIAN ATROCITIES.
In other respects it is noticeable that they are
conducting operations with discreet reticeuce-
That very important movements are On foot is
certain.
The correspondent OF the New York Times at
Adrianople sends an assurance by telegraph to-
day that the decisive battle OF the campaign
will be fought at Bogaz Pass, notwithstanding
the fact that an official telegram from Sulef-
man Pasha says the result OF reconnaissance
by the Imperial Turkish troops demonstrates
beyond a doubt that there are no Russian
soldiers at the entrance to the pass.
SMALL PKEL1A1NART sK1RM1suEs
between the Turks and advancing or retreating
Russians are Of almost daily occurrence, and
doubtless form the basis for the numerous and
reports OF battles which have been
teleeraphed during the last day or two.
