RUssrA's LINE OF OPERATION IN ASIA.
LONDON, April 10.-Captain Burnaby
returned last evening from his tour in
Asia Minor. He says; that ii Russia de.
termines TO advance onVan, through Hoy,
Persia being Russias' ally and afI'ording
every facility for the Russian troops TO
pass through her Territory, Van must
undoubtedly fall. There is nothing to
prevent the Russians capturing Bataum
from the Landslide. An attack on the Sea
front is unlikely, because Bataum is con.
sidered inpregnable there and the Rus
slams can't cope with the Turkish Black
Sea fleet. The Russians having posses.
sion Of Erzeroum and Van can easily

AUSTRIA PREPARED.
BERLIN, April l9.-The Zsituny says
news has been received from well in
formed persons that Austria is sufficiently
prepared with n military force to pre-.
vent any outbreak. The passage OF the
Danube by the Russians would probably
be the moment for Austria to cross Bos.
MIA to the Herzegovinian frontier. This
would not be an act directed against Rus.
sia, and would be far from being intended
to impede Russian operations in Bulga.
ria. Its only purpose:would be to secure
the Austrian interests in case Russia
should obtain military successes. II the
circumstances in Servia should render it
necessary, Austria might occupy R1zuia
at II still earlier period.
