The Russian military operations at
Ibrail and vicinity are designed To TX
tend Russian control of the Lower
Danube by closing the Sulina Pass. If
this is successful, as appears probable,
the Turkish fleet Will be etfectually
debarred from assisting in defending
Bulgaria, and the Danube will be sub
stantially lost as a Turkish defensive
line. Russia's prompt strategy there
is admitted to be brilliantly sagacious.
No effective opposition to the Russians
crossing the Danube in force is now
deemed probable. II now the Rus
slams succeed in carrying the Saugaloo
Passes between kars and Erzeroufn,
which is the only great depot Of Turk
ish supplies in Asia Minor, Woukltar
Pasha must choose between capture or
precipitate evacuation of Armenia.
Britain's jealous suspicion Of Russia's
Interior designs is becoming stronger
than English adherence OF Turkish
barbarity and fanaticism, consequently
the war feeling grows, though still re-
strained by the conviction that Eng
land i'm entering the wal would have
no ally but Turkey. The coolest heads
here have the least fear OF Russia's
purpose, because satisfied that The Car
would dread a general war more than
any other European Power; therefore
they scout the idea that he will at
tempt possession of Constantinople, or
do any other act justifying British in.
