ON THE DANUBE-oPERATIoNs ABOUT TO
BEGIN-sPEcULATIoNs
A Vienna dispatch says conflicting &C
counts come from Roumania. Those who
regard operations as imminent explain the
general movement of Russian troops as
preparatory to scattered force. The de-
psrture of portion of headquarters, June
II, from Ploiesti to Alexandria, is regarded
as a surer indication of imminent action.
One account states that all the inhabitants
have been ordered to withdraw from the
shore. Believers in a speedy commence
ment of operations actually name June le
as the date of the first attempt to cross the
Danube. From another source, usually
well informed, it is positively stated that a
fortnight will elapse before the Russians are
ready to undertake operations along the
whole line. This partly cites the imperfect
state of preparations. These were found
so:far backward on the emperor's arrival
that he expressed displeasure. 1t is thought
more might have been done but for want
of harmony and cooperation extending
even to very high positions. The estab-
lishment of magazines close to the Danube
and the collection of bridging materials are
particularly backward. Since the czars
arrival fresh energy has been infused, but
it is somewhat neutralized by various rail-
way break-downs. Those who do not be-
lieve in immediate operations, explain the
present great movement of troops by the
snpposition that the commander-in-chief
had modified his plan, and that six of the
eight army corps are to be concentrated on
a comparatively short line between Glur-
gevo and Islao, on the river Aluta. A Vi
emma correspondent says is is thought ten
days may elapse before all will be ready.
Intelligence points to Glurgevo and Turnu
Magureli as the most important places of
interest. At the former the steam launches
have already arrived. and a large siege
tram is being collected, while three corps
are ready to converge on them. On the
Aluta, behind Turnu Msgureli, the ninth
corps is waiting, and the thirteenth is on
the march to join it. The fourteenth in
Galatz will probably cross about Tcherna-
voda or Kalarash, with the fourth corps.
OStentatious demonstrations are being made
in the neighborhood Of Braila, Reni, and
Ismail. These are probably merely feints.
RTssIAN DELAYS MAKING TROUBLE.

the Danube.
