LONDON, Aug, IL.
A correspondent at Biela says that
his estimate OF the serious effect of the
Russian defeat at Pleyna, formed on
the battlefield, Is fully borne out by
Russian appreciation. The Russians
stand waiting for necessary reinforce
ments, and are thankful that they are
not assailed in their defensive posi-
tons. The defeat of Plevna has al
tered the whole plan of the campaign
for this year. The Russians have vir
tually abandoned their eX pectations of
pressing the war successfully across
the BALKANS, and it will suffice them if
during the three months of The season
still available for fighting they can
sweep Bulgaria north of the Balkans
clear of the Turkish armies. The or
ders are to Withdraw from all the
trans Balkan positions. This is from
no direct pressure of the Turks beyond
the Balkans, but because of the risk
attending unsupported advances on
this side Of the Bankans. The paraly-
sis occasioned by the Plevna reverse
slill continues. Hundreds of thou
sands of men are wanted and will he
forthcoming. but will have to be waited
for. The first brigade OF reinforce
ments expect to Cross the Danube in a
day or two, and after that brigade shall
have crossed the offensive will Doubt
less be recommended. Osiuan Pasha
must be struck decisively, but at pres
ent he can be only watched. The gaps
through which the right flank of the
Russian communications were threat
ened are stopped by ShackoskOy and
Krudener's positions confronting Plev-
ma and Dragomiroff's division between
Tirnova and LovatZ. This force is
probably sufficient for protection but
utterly inadequate for the renewal of
the offensive. 1t il estimated now that
from 90, 900 to 20, 900 Turks are on the
Lovaiz and Plevna line. The Caro-
Wits army which is available for
holding the line from the Danube to
the Balkans, nunb ers about 90 900 and
is necessarily attenuated over the long
front so as to leave no gap for the
Turks to cross through. The Turks
are probably of about the same
strength, but il Mehmet Ali chooses to
take the offensive he may concentrate
at Rustchuk, Rasgrad and at Osman
Bazaar, and the Russians must be ready
to face him everywhere. and conse-
qaently they must remain strictly on
the defensive.
LONDON, August IL.
The Russians have So 900 men be-
fore Plevns, and are preparing to carry
the position regardless of cost. The
works have been greatly strengthened
since the last great battle, and the
morale of the Turks improved by the
late victories. There is nothing reli-
able as to Servia. A violation of her
neutrality seems likely, and will have
a powerful influence on The English
wal sentiment, and may p%recipitate in
~tervention. Servia was saved from
humiliation on the ground Of remain
ing neutral. There is much irritation
here over the probability that Russia
will send troops through her territory.
