Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1877-06-26

little after day break, the people OF
Ibrail we're awakened by the sound Of
artillery and musketry on the other
side of the river, showing that the
Danube must have been crossed. Gen
eral Zimmerman had gone to Galatz
and crossed the Danube with two regi-
ments OF infantry and a proportionate
amount of artillery and cavalry in
a number of boats towed over by
steam launches. Late in the afternoon
the first landing vas made in a hand
to hand fight. The first man killed
was a young Russian officer. He
sprang ashore and was shot through
The forehead. The object of the eros
sing, and action at Gaiatz was to pro-
tect the great crossing at lbrail. An
Ibrail correspondent telegraphing
Friday, says it is evident that the ZEN.
eral crossing will begin tomorrow
morning. At day light the whole
Russian force here will cross oil the
bridge, and the Russians will thus es-
tabli>h themselves firmly on the other
side of the Danube. AS there is now a
whole army corps here, there is a suf-
ficient number of troops to maintain
themselves, and take the offensive.
Other crossings will be made, provid-
ed this one succeeds. The Russian
tactics now will be to push the force
here forward as rapidly as possible up
T. Dobrudscba, extending a hand to
the Russian forces on the way up the
Danube. This will enable the force at
Herzeova to cross without difficulty,
and proceeding higher up it can like.
wise extend a hand to other forces at
Kslarash, and even Oltenitza.
ST. JOHNS, n. b., June %.
The Daily Telegraph was issued on
the morning after the fire in a single
sheet about a foot square, with two
small advertisements and a description
of the disaster which had overtaken
the city.
IBRAIL, June Is.
Should the Turks detach a force
from about Rustchuck and Nikopolis
sufficient to stop its progress, they will
so weaken their line at this point that
the Russian troops between Guirgevo
and Turnunagarelli would be able to
cross with com paratively little loss.
Later Iurail accounts agree with the
Gala,Z correspondent in showing that
the fighting was serious at the crossing
opposite Gaiatz. An Ibrail correspond
ent, ~telegraphing Friday night, says:
"A Russian doctor, who crossed with
the first detachment of 500, informs
me that he does not believe that u of
this number 20 are left alive or UNI
hurt
