displeasure at the refusal by taking no notice
Of Prime Minister Bratiano and M Cogal-
niceano. Foreign Minister, when they went
to meet him on the occasion of his last
visit to Bucharest. The Roumanian
government has probably compromised
by consenting to proclaim . state Of
siege, which would permit the exceptional
measures desired by the Russians. In other
respects matters do not appear to be going
quite smoothly. The Russians are COM
planning of the i'll will and dilatoriness
of the Roumanian authorities, and the latter
of the offensive and almost brutal behavior
Of the Russian officers.
sAcK1Na OF A GREEK MONASTERY.
The Circassian irregulars in the Turkish
service have made q raid on Greek
monastery at Rangave in Thessaly and pill
LACED it. They carried off everything Of
value in the institution and completed the
outrage by killing the monks who fell into
their hands. This outrage will fan the
flame of Greek anger against Turkey and
strengthen the hands of the war party at
Athens, which is trying to force the govern
ments to immediate hostilities, so that
Epirus and Thessaly may be wrested from
the Porte while the Ottoman troops ore en-
gagged defending the northern and Asiatic
frontiers of the Empire.
oUTRAGEs ON THE JEWS.
The HERALD correspondent in Vienna tel
egraphs that the report recently published
of the plundering OF number of Jews by a
Roumanian mob at Dorobani is fully con-
frmed. The rabble was led by man
named Landowner, and they acted in
the most outrageous manner. They en-
tered the dwellings of $50 Jewish families
and pillaged everything they could lay
their hands on, using violence wherever re-
sistance was offered. Over 10000 ducats
were stolen, eleven people were murdered
and twenty-four wounded. This outrage
has naturally aroused considerable indig-
nation, and the Roumanian government
will probably be forced to inAict severe and
speedy punishment on the perpetrators.
THE WAR IN THE CoULIssEs
The HERALD Vienna correspondent also
confirms the report Of the defeat of the
Turks at Maljat by the Montenegrins. The
fighting was Of the most desperate kind, the
Turkish force being immensely superior in
numbers to the Montenegrins, but the ad-
vantage of position was with the latter,
and they fought with wonderful bravery.
The Turkish loss was. very heavy and the
victory of the Montenegrins decisive.
STILL ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
From the Herzegovina side the news Is that
Suleiman Pacha after taking Kristac [Krstaz on
sent Ali Pacha to relieve and provision Pva before
he (Suleiman, attempted to force the Duga Pass A
Reuter- telegram states that Piva has been re-
victualled. A special to the Times from Ostrok
shows that the fighting Mt Krstac was very san
culinary, the Montenegrn losses being reported at
600 killed and wounded on Monday night and
1000 Turks killed. Fifty officers sabres are re-
ported to have been brought in.
DEFEAT OF THE TURKS IN MONTENEGRO.
The consus at Ragusa have information that the
Turks have been defeated in an engagement on the
southern frontier. Fighting continues in the
vicinity OF the Duga Pass.
VICTORY FOR THE TURKS.
Intelligence has been received at cara from a
special source that the Montenegrins have been
defeated in the Duga Pass with heavy loss. The
revictualling of Nicslcs win probably be effected
soon.
PEACE PROSPECTS,.
The arrival Of Sabdoullah Bey, the new Turkish
Ambassador to Berlin, who leaves Constantlnople
tomorrow, Is looked forward to as an event
Of Importance, for it is believed that the German
government will, with the concurrence OF
England, advise Turkey to conclude peace as soon
as possible. Russia having already informed the
Cabinets OF London, Vienna and Berlin that she
would agree to conclude peace on tho basis OF the
Protocol. accepting concession OF territory in Asia
Minor instead Of indemnity.
THE GoRTscHAKoFF NOTE.
The Times Paris correspondent states that the
communication which Count Schouvalor brings to
London is not o note in diplomatic sense. but o
OF Lord Derby which Count Schouvalor took with
him TO st. Petersburg. In his letter Lord Derby
drew the attention OF Russia to various points
where English interests would be affected II Rus
