batteries at OltenitZa, Grahova and
Kalaiat. The Turks are reported pre-
pairing to concentrate their force, on
the Lower Danube, and at the fortresses
forming the quadrillateral, Rustchuk,
Silestria, Shumla and Varna, leaving
the Widin force isolated. In the
Dobrudscha the fall of Tultcha ana

forces occupying these points are cut
from their lines of communication
and reinforcements. The successful
attempt of the Russians to cross near
Rustchnk has been followed by a

the Turkish gunboats have taken an
part. The town of Guirgevo,
opposite Rastchuk, occupied by the
Russians, has been SET on fire by
Turkish shells. Heavy firing is still

The agitation in Constantinople
against Redif Pasha, the Minister of
War, and all the military authorities,
is on the increase. The success in
Montenegro has rather increased the
excitement, it being deemed down
right folly, almost; and they reason
that to gain successes at a compare
lively trihing point, should have been
so woefully neglected. The nomina-
ton of Dervish Pasha to the command
in Asia has contributed to the agita-
ton. after the signal incapacity shown
by the latter in Bosnia.

The Turks are evidently concentrate
ing their forces by abandoning with a
show of resistance all less important
points as the Russians advance. APP
parently their shortened line will soon
