Tirnova.

Tnls tUwn, NOW in tho power of the
Russians, is the ancient capital of Bull
garia, of which Rustchuk is at present
the seat of the administration. 1t is
there that reigned at the end of the tenth
century the second Sclavo- Bulgarian
dynasty of the Sismanides, heirs of the
Finno-Bulgarian race, driven out by the
Greek Emperor In -11S6 TirnOva was
the residence of the Bulgarian Princes of
the race of Asen, who restored the
former splendor of the Kingdom. The
Czar Kalojan, one of the Princes of the
dynasty, was the cOnqueror at Adrian
Ople, in 1865, of Beaudoin L., the first
Latin Emperor of Byzantium, who, after
eight months of captivity, was precipi-
tated from one of the rocks of the upper
city. The Czar Boris, in 1918, married
at Tirnova his daughter to the Emperor
of Byzantium. By turns the Bulgarian
capital saw within its walls the Greeks,
the Tartars, the Magyars. In the four
teenth century came the turn of the
Turks. Sufficient attention has not been
paid to the circumstances which facili-
tated the conquest of the Mussulmans.
To explain il we have only to study the
chroniclers and historians who speak of
the depravity of manners and the cor
ruption of the great, as of the people in
those Bulgarian countries. On the 18th
of July, 1893, Tchelebi, the son of Baja-
yet, took the citadel of Tirnova by as
sault. Soon the first mosque was con-
structed there, and the Greek Bishops
allies, however, of the conquerors-were
assigned to particular part of the city.
In 1910 il had the Russians in its walls
for some time. Since then it has ceased
to be the political center of Bulgaria,
while remaining one of the nuclei of the
Sclavo propaganda. Down to 1867, the
date when the vilayet of the Danube was
created, France, Austria and Russia had
at Tirnova consulates, since then sup
pressed

SAN FRANCIsCO. An
Besica Bay.

This station, to which the British fleet
has just been sent, is situated to the
south of the point of the same name, and
extends between the island of Tenedos
and Cape Janissary at the entrance of
the Dardanelles on the Anatolian coast.
1t is the best and nearest anchorage to
the straits, the navigation of which is
forbidden by treaties to the war-vessels
of all nations. 1t is well sheltered from
north and northeast winds, and has good
holding ground for all kinds of vessels;
the depth of water varies from eight to
eleven fathoms. The best anchorage
and the greatest depth of water is found
at point from which the small island
of Phido opens to the northwest, and the
village of Paleo Castro to the northeast.
For an iron-clad squadron composed of
large frigates such as those possessed by
Great Britain at the present moment, it
is the best and most advantageous an

without being reminded that it is to the
east of this point of Anatolia that the
plain extends on which Troy was built.

Gen. Howard is at present at Kamia
awaiting the arrival of Maj. Sanford. AS
soon as that officer joins him Howard
will take all the available force and push
vigorously after Joseph and White Bird,
who have already crossed the Bitter Root
Mountains by way of the Lolo trail He
will go through to Missoula as speedily
as his command can move. He will have
in the neighborhood of 500 men. An.
other force, under command of Gen.
Wheaton, will leave Fort Lapway, and,
moving north, pass through the Spokane
country and cross over into Montana
through the Sahon Pass. After crossing
the mountains the troops will push
down to Missoula, where they will
join Gen. Howard. 1t is expected
that Howard's and Wheaton's de-
tachments will reach that point sim
ultaneously. Wheaton will command
about 450 or 500 troops. Any struggling
bands of hostiles which may have broken
away from Joseph or White Bird and at
tempted to reach the Spokane country
will be intercepted by Wheaton and cut
off. This movement will, it is believed,
