fleeing from Adler to the Turkish lines

SLAMS are deploying with their left flank
resting on the Danube to face the Turkish
line from Rustchuk to Shumla. When
this movement Is completed general
battle may be expected unless the Turks
fall back TO tho Balkans, or the Russians
mask the whole quadrilateral and turn It
by psming the balkans. The Russian
forces coming through the Dobrudscha
are approaching the rear OF the Turkish
Rustchuk and Shumla line. This column
il too strong to be opposed by any force
detached from the Turkish main body,
while the main body itself cannot turn
upon Il without exposing Its rear to the
Russian main force. This situation Is q
creation Of the Czarowitch. He seems
entirely to ignore the existence of Silis-
tria, varna and Kustendje, and the latest
information fixes the garrisons at these
fc'ccc, which, operating on The Hanks or

would paralyze its efforts TO cooperate
with the army in Central Bulgaria. Be-
sides tho garrisons Of these fortified
places Sulieman Pasha's army, which Is
now stated to be embarl<ing at Antivari,
could be landed ut varna, which, would
make the number of Turks on the Rus
sian left flank alone over $1,000. The
Russian Dobrudscha corps In stated to
number only 81, 1000.
