chuck correspondent writes as follows :
The twenty odd thousand troops Of this
garrison are the perfection OF soldierp,
lhey are brown, open faced, big shoul.
lered fellows, perfectly resigned TO any
late that Allah may have for them, with
perfect faith in the bankrupt govern.
Inent, for the chief Of which they shout
and salaam every evening at sunset.
THAT FIsTICUFF.
A correspondent explains the incident
recently reported from Constantinople
about the British Consul striking a Tur-
ish officer. Itseems that this correspond
ent, with one companion, crossed in a
sail boat from Guergevo, and were arrest
ed by Turkish Naval officer. They were
seriously threatened by the moslcm mob.
The Consul cameto the rescue and push
ed the Captain out Of his way, when the
latter tried to stop him. The correspond.
ent thinks the Consuravigorous measures
alone prevented them from being thrown
into the Danube by the mob.
LACKS CONFIRMATION.

tirmation has been received here OF the
reported recapture Of Ardahan.

CRITICAL SITUATION OF FOREIGNERS IN
TURKEY.
LONDON, May Ca Constantinople
special, via Athens, May %, has the fol.
lowing: Redif Pasha, Minister Of War,
is now Dictator and for the time more
powerful than ever. Great anxiety pre-.
walls among the European population
who fear that during the state of siege, il
news Of fresh disasters arrive, there will
be n collision between the populace and
troops. Our position is one of very great
danger and is generally so regarded. 1t
is certain that fresh disasters must
happen. The fall OF Ardahan and
has enabled the Russians to
march in two convergiDg lines towards
Erzeroum. They have turned Erzeroum,
and Mukhtar PaShH must either accept
a-batue against vastly superior force or
capitulate. II he is beaten, Erzeroum
must fall, for it is without forlilication
and the force in it is small.
A Ragusa correspondent says he learns
that the anti-Turkish movement has ca.
:aped all control. Prince Milan, finding
hat he was becoming dangerously unpop.
llar, has been forced 10 prepare for war,
lespite the strong remonstrances Of the
'oreign representatives. Alexinatz and
other towns on the frontier are being
hastily fortified, and speedy resumption
II hOstilitIes is regarded as certain.
RUSSIAN EVACUATION.
A special from Constantinoplc says
hat intelligence from Sukum.Kaleb
'tates that the Russians have evacuated
md the Turks occupied the fortress Of
Sell. The Russians have evacuated the
whole coast line Of the Abazoo country.

TAKES COMMAND.
BUCHAREST, May 2O.--The Czar will
on his arrival formally take command
Of both the Russian and Roumanian

Joseph and the Car will meet ut Herman.
Etadt. Count Schouvelof recently in.

ENGLISH ENLIsrMENrs.

navigation on the Danube as far rs Girla
Ia at least premature. In spite OF the ener.
getic representations Of that government,
the Turkish Commander, Ada Kalesi,
still bars the way with his can non. There
Is doubtless an excuse for the Turks, a.

tageous to the Roumanians.
