LONDON, August 6.
The successes of the Turks ave up
SIT the calculation OF Bismarck, who Is
now actively in intrigue with Russia
and Austria in expectation to inhu-
ence the latter to consent To a passage
of the Russian reinforcements through
Servian territory to a position of All
vantage on the Turkish left flank.
Austria wavers on tie presence of un
certainty of action on the part of the
British Government, while the latter
is evidently anxious to let the Turks
fight it out, their successes having
much relieved the embarrassment OF
the Ministry. England, much as she
desires 10 maintain neutraiHy, could
hardly silently permit an active COM
bination of the three Emperors to
rob Turkey of The results of her VIC
tory. The political situation at this
moment is as critical as 1t Is interest
ing. England is as uncertain as ever
Russia is appealing to Germany, aud
the situation therefore IS almost wholly
under control of Austria. VINO IN turn
fears to be firm, white the Turks are
massed on the Russian frJn.ier in
Asia.

Turkish Generals continue to report
Russian massacres OF Mohaminedans.
while the Russians report Turkish
massacres of Christians. Both reports
are no doubt true. There is every
evidence that this is the most barbar-
I Gus war since the dark agss. To-day
a special correspondent of the New
York Times at Stumla, telegraphs as
follows: Railroad communication has
been fully re established. When the
Turks recaptured Ezki Soghra, it was
lea rned that while the Russians had
possession of the place, the Turkish
male inhabitants were called before a
tribunal largely composed of Bulgari
ans, under the preiense that they
should be registered, and then were
systematically and ruthlessly muir
dered. These insurgent BulgariAns,
Of course, on the return of the Turks,
fled to the Balkans, after firing the
villages here and about Varna and
Rasgrad. Mehmet Ais appointment
has infused a new spirit OF activity
everywhere, and another great battle
is expected.

There is considerable anxiety in south
