Turkish Triumphs.

We cannot give details of the war
news and it would not amount to
much if wa could, for so much Of it is
unreliable and contradictory that no
clear view of the situation is afforded
by the various dispatches. One great
result is admitted, that the Russians
have made failure in Asia Minor,
have abandoned the siege Of Kars and
been pretty badly damaged generally.
It is even reported that the Gar has
ordered the withdrawal of all the
troops from that line. This is not
likely, however, as a force will prob
ably be kept there sufficiently strong
to keep the Turks employed and pre-
vent them reinforcing their line on
the Danube. The Russian operations
on the Danube are also very slow
They cannot advance in force against
the Turks in the Balkan mountains
until they have made their position
on the Danube as strong as any IN
possession of the Turks. Appearan-
ces indicate that Russia has under
taken big work in the sub)ugatlon
of Turkey. She is likely to conquer
but it may take years of carnage. No
great test battle has yet been fought.
