The Gear to Join the Army in j III

The Gear to Join the Army in June.
LONDON, Msy 2l.-The News Bucharest
despatch says every day makes it more obvious
that the Russians are in no hurry to cross the
Danube. Present indications are that no CROSS
ings further west than Hirsova will be at
tempted before June, and probably not before
the Gar reaches army headquarters, which
will be about June 18th. The correspondent at
Russian headquarters at Ployeschi telegraphs
that the Cars coming to join the army was
ment created much surprise and satisfaction.
He will be accompanied by the Czarowitch,
Prince Gortschakoff, and great part of the
diplomatic .chancelery. The Grand Duke
Nicholas departure for Bucharest is post
poned in consequence of the Cars visit.
The Obstruction Of the Danube.
The Teegruph's Vienna correspondent says
the Roumanian and Russian authorities issued
a decree Friday, prohibiting all traffic on the
Danube. This completely paralyzes a large
portion Of the Hungarian trade, and Andrassy
has decided to take immediate steps against
the carrying out of the measure. Although he
will doubtless be joined by other powers, he
will not wait for their cooperation.
Miscellaneous.
The Standards Bucharest despatch says 5000
Russians belonging to twelve divisions march
toward Krsgova tomorrow. They will be sue
ceeded by 50 divisions already waiting at the
next stage in the rear.
The railway bridge over the Aluss, near
Statina, fell to-day. Ten wagons carrying
ammunition to Little Wallachia were engulfed,
with attendants, and five passengers were
drowned.
Within forty-eight hours, rumors of peace,
which however are not traceable to any source,
have been circulated among Russian officers.
The Senate unanimously voted the independ-
ence of Roumana.
The Gar starts for the Danube on the ID of
June. He will be absent about three weeks
The Standards Vienna despatch says the
Turks are concentrating large masses of troops
at Tutukai Sistova, expecting the Russians to
make powerful attempt to cross the Donube
within the next few days.
The Porte has been inquiring of contractors
about the time in which quantities of provisions
could be stored in Constantinople.

The CaIcasien Lumber Controver

The CaIcasien Lumber Controversy.
LAKE CHARLES, May 21.-The following
statement of the Calcasien lumber question Is
believed to be reliable:
The District Attorney filed in the U. S. Court
in New Orleans suit against about dozen
citizens in Calcasen parish, alleging that they
and other persons unknown, cut a large guam
tity of fine logs in Calcasien on public lands,
and praying sequestration and sale of the logs
for the benefit of the government A writ was
issued and the deputy marshal seized some 49,
600 logs in the creeks floating into the west
fork of the Calcasen river, and stretched
chain-boOm across the north of the west fork
thereby blockading them.
The logmen say that over nine-tenths of the
logs were cut on private land. The government
officers say that they were mostly cut on public
lands The unusually delayed rise of the creek
carried great restitution and suffering to the
logmen and families by the failure to get logs
into the market The seizure insensifies the
suffering because enough logs have reached tn Q
west fork to give present relief lift was not for
the seizure and blockade. The fact that thou
sands of these logs were VIGOROUSLY cut on pri-
vate lands causes great indignation at the arbi-
trary action of the authorities, but noviolence
has been attempted and none threatened except
by two or three persons who protested against
the unjust seizure of their private property. No
one here dreams of any except legal resistance.
Ihere have been several conferences between
logmen and the government agents, and it is
now confidently expected the matter will be
amicably adjusted and the blockade raised in a
few days.

THE AsIATIC CAMPAIGN.

THE AsIATIC CAMPAIGN.
Turkish Account of the Russian Attack
ON Arabian and Kars.
LONDON, May 21.-The Telegraph's special
from Erzeroun Saturday, describing the first
attack on Arabian says:
The efforts of the Russians commenced with
heavy artillery fire, which was as hotly re-
turned. This was followed by an impetuous
infantry attack, which was repulsed every time
with great slaughter. Under orders, apparent
ly to obtain somewhere or other at any cost,
the troops were led back to assault after each
failure until night stopped the carnage.
From Kars we have the intelligence that yes
with furious determination having preceded
their attempt by heavy but ill directed can
nOnade from siege artillery. Powerful guns in
the Turkish batteries replied with better effect.
Arabian was surrounded by heights COM
MAJ it. within easy range; The heights
taken the fortress itself became untenable. The
Turks withdrew their garrison of eleven bat
talions and effected junction with Mukhtar
Pasha in the direction IF Erzeroun. The dan
ger is that the Russians in the neighborhood of
kars may waylay the returning force if they
attempt to pass that way, but there is another
and more difficult mountain road through the
valley of the Otti, which the retreating Turks
will probably take. The fall of Arabian is of
considerable advantage to the Russians, for
with Akabatizisk, it will enable the Russians
to turn the force hitherto operating against Ar
dahan towards kars or to take part in the com.
bined operation against Erzeroun.
The Revolt in the Caucasus.
LONDON, May 22.-The Times Berlin des-
patch lsays despite the reported suppression of
the Caucasian revolt troops from Erzmoi and
Arghun as well as the local garrisons of Dugh-
estan and Tchetchna are being concentrated
for joint operations against the insurgents. The
greater part of Tehetchna is in arms against
the Russians. Dughestan is still quiet.
The Grand Duke Michaels Report.
ST. PETERSBURG. May 2.-The Grand Duke
Michael teiegraps from Tiflis May Goth, as fol-
lows:
Along the entire coast from Cape Adler to
Cape Gelentschik the Turkish men-of-war are
bombarding and burning undefended and peace
full settlements and landing Circassian emil
grants at various points, who seek to excite the
Abassians to rebellion. Troops have been de-
spatched to suppress any rising. The Russians
captured at Ardahan Turkish Pasha, so can
non, including two inch guns and number
of smaller Krupps.
Operations at Batoum.
The Telegraph's despatch from Batoum Sat.
urday morning says the Russians have after
making great show of warlike intentions yes
terday contented themselves with harmless
artillery duel. The fact was that the enemy
had sent OFF fifteen battalions in the direction
of Sukum-Kaleh in the hope of arresting in
surrection which spread from that centre. De-
fences of Batoum are quite unimpaired, and
pretty certain victory for the Sultan.
