and suffered severely.
London, September 2s.-Fever
is prevalent in the Czarowitch's
army, and dysentery has increased
much with bad weather. The spir-
it of the troops, however, is IN
changed. They are always cheer
full.
London, September 2S.-A cor
respondent at Bucharest writes
that day or two of rain has made
the roads almost impossible. The
mud is ankle deep. The horses
have eaten almost all the forage,
and hay is very scarce at any price.
Communications are daily more
difficult.
The Russian staff officers in front |
of Plevna express the utmost con-
fidence that the place will fall into
their hands.
There is an abundance of wheat
and barley in Bulgaria, and very
large crops of Indian corn. If the
Russians can surmount the diff
Guilty of obtaining fuel they can
winter in Bulgaria very comforta-
bly,.

Sixteen cases Of breechloaders, r.
$4,000 cartridges and several box "
3 of Turkish fuse caps have also n
,een seized in transit. The Vienna y
government has ordered a judicial
Investigation. Considering the 70
'laces at which these preparations r
ave been found it may be pre- IN
icted with some confidence that p
he plan was not only to enlist an pl
rmed body in Hungary, but to in in
,ake an expedition into Rouma-
ia, as no force that the Turkish
ympathizers could send could in -
uence the war. The intention W,
as evidently to compromise, if Al A.
ossible, and to embroil the mon w
