MILITARY OPERATIONS on THE DANUBE.
Although the Russians have at last occu-
pied the chief positions on the Danube, the
army cannot be taken across until the stream
falls which military movement can hardly
be executed for three weeks yet. There are
40,00o Russians in position on the Danube,
without counting the Rounanisns and re-
serves, who amount to 10000 men. There
are $4,000 east Of Braila, and 10000 with
considerable reserves, At Belgrad, which is
the point Of support for this part of the line.
The strength and position Of the work at
Reni and Braila indicate that they are de-
fensive and not offensive. From Braila up
to the lines of Bucharest and Oltenitza and
Bucharest and Giurgevo, there are no troops
except = number requisite to guard against
= possible surprise, but between Bucharest
and .ciurgevo the concentration is on Z large
scale. There are loo, 900 men now concen-
trated on the Bucharest and Giurgevo line,
along the railway, who may be directed
either against the line of Rustchuk and
Turtukai, or Rustchuk aud sistova. In
In Bucharest 1t 10 believed the latter will be
chosen, and that the denomination at Olte-
nitzais merely faint. East of the Aluta
are 10000 men, on the high road to Turnu.
West of the Aluts are about $4,000 men.
This may be regarded as the centre Of the
line. Further west, on the line Of Kslafat
and Turnseverin, last accounts stated the
number Of Russians to be over 10000.
