THE EASTERN WAR.
The situation In Bulgaria.

Jul9 os
1t is stated here that over 1870, 900 Rus
slams have crossed the Danube at Sim
nitza with an immense train, the artillery
comprising some pieces of very heavy
caliber. The enthusiasm of the Russian
troops isvery great. The cavalry marches
about twenty kilometres in advance of
the infantry. AS the Turks have no pro-
portionate amount of cavalry to meet
them, the Russians are securing the
country up to the foot of the Balkans,
The Turkish outposts are at Jantra,
which is their present advanced line. The
center of their army is near Rasgrad, the
right covering Rustchuk and the left
stretching toward Shumla. 1t is re-
ported that only 10000 men are left
in Silstria. The first great battle
in Bulgaria will probably be fought
on the above line, if the Turks
will give battle in the open field north of
the Balkans. 1t is probable that there
will be little of interest from the front
until new dispositions of the troops by
both belligerents, made necessary by the
Russian advance in the Dobrudscha and
operations near Simnitza, arc completed.
The Russians have had several skirmishes
with the Turkish outposts on the Jantra.
The Russian cavalry have penetrated
to Plevna and Loftcha on the west, and
to Tirnova and KabroVa toward the
Balkans. They appear to be masters of
the country between the Balkans and the
Danube, and from the Jantra to Plevna.

ruled that the law secured the sanctity
