Twenty-four Turks and Buigarians,
from PIevna, come in to the Russian head
Quarters on the twenty-eight, saying they had
nothing to eat there.
Emperor William has been forbidden
PATHS appearance at Berlin because a very
high price of admission was proposed. The
people of Milan willingly paid $40 a seat to
hear her.
In Russia new sect has sprung into
existence, called the Purifiers" Their
creed is simple. all persons must marry on
coEIing of age the wife must be recognized

AS a naval power, Mexico is rather
weak. There are four war steamers alto
gether, and it is stated by the Mexican papers
that not one of them has been cleaned or
repaired since it were brought from England

navy.
The Russians have gained their sue
cesses in western Bulgaria by their superior
calvary force. Having occupied EtrOpOl,
fOrty-fve miles from Sofia they range over
the entire country between the Balkans and
the Danube, west of the nrnOva-Sistova line.
The Turks have only 10000 mounted troops
in their army. Suieiman Pasha 1has but 2
200 calvarymen, and the porte is now making
great effort to organize another cavalry
! regiment at Bagdsd TO re enforce MIN. Poor
as the cavalry is, it is better than that OF the
| Turks. which Is described by all the cores
pondents as simply execrabIe. Fresh Russ
| sian cavalry regiments continue to pour over
| the Danube, and with the fall of Plevna the
game will be up for the Turks. As no re-
! endorsements can reach OSman, 1t is only q
| question of a little time when he will vacate
! the Plevna forts, although he is understood
to have $4,000 men there. He can not feed
| them many weeks.
