The Seat of War.

CONCENTRATIONS OF U. s. TROOPS AT Ell PASO.
The War department has received infOrma-
tiOn that the local difficulties i'm Ell Paso
county, Texas, which grew out of the right
and title to certain salt mines, has assumed
quite threatening aspect. The few u. S.
troops and state militia i'm the county have
been surrounded, and unless soon relieved it
is feared they will fare badly. The dispatch
from Gov. Hubbard asking assistance from
the President was referred to the Secretary of
War, and by him to Gen. Sherman, who tele-
graphed Gen. Sheridan to send all the troops
he could. The latter replied this morning that
he had ordered troops as fOOws From Fort
Bayard, n. NJ, eighty miles from III PasO, four
companies cavalry, l25 men, one company in
faDtry, % men: Fort Stanton, N. NJ, Is miles,
5 companies cavalry, l07 men, l company in
fantry, 80 men: Santa Re, n. NJ, 80 miles, l
company infantry, % men. All of the above
are from General POpes command. and he
has no others within five hundred miles. 1t is
thought that the troops from Fort Stanton
have already reached FL PasO, and will proba-
bly, be able to relieve the troops now surround
ed by the mob. Five hundred and six troops
have also been ordered from Fort Davis,
Texas, $50 miles off, The troops from Fort
Bayard will no doubt reach San ElizianO to.
morrow, and with those from Fort Stanton
will be sufficient to keep the peace. The affair
is purely local, and no serious complications
are anticipated. The Mexican who have jOin-
ed the mob from across the Rio Grande are
thought to be relatives of MexicanS living i'm
Texas, who have for years been gathering the
salt from the lakes in III PasO county.

said, ~ congratulate you on your defence of
Plevna. II is one of the most splendid feats i'm
history" This was hailed with cries of .'bravO"
from the Russian officers present. In their
opinion he has not lost the title of Osman the
Victor by his surrender. Various reports
reached London last night that Osman Pasha
was dead. One rumOr stated that he had COM
mitted suicide because he was informed by the
surgeons that he would have to suffer the am
putation of his wounded foot. All Turks have
horror of such mutilatiOn. The report is still
doubtful: The Turks have burned and aban-
dOEed Elena, which has been reoccupied by
