RUSSIA DISPOSED TO CALL OUT ALL HER ARMY
SYMPTOMS OF DELAY.
LONDON, Monday, April 49, 1877.
According to advices from the Russian
frontier the Cars troops are moving very slowly
On account Of bad roads and bad weather
The Roumanian roads are In such a hopeless state
that three weeks are named the shortest time IN
which they can be made fit for heavy military transport
Another no less weghty Is that the conviction
has gradually dawned that far larger force Is
required for the task which Russia mas before
her than was first prepared. II news from st. Peters
burg TO be trusted order for the mobilization OF the
whole army was actually decided on before the Car left
Ct Petersburg. Whether this be the not,
A. ia certain that the troops in Bessaraba be-
gan to move toward the frontier general movement
OF Russian forces has begun southward and westward.
Thus for some reason possibly to DC prepared Tor every
eyeptualty, Russia thinks II necessary to nave
az her disposal n much larger force than, until
lately she deemed sufficient for the object she lad
these be dispatched to their destination
There ia therefore another and very weghty military
motive TOR not precipitatlng matters. There are
also political reasons for delay Although q
IL is equally certain there is no enthusiasm among the
great of Russian people. Financial and economical
not received from any side positive assurance
OF absolute neutrality Indications OF some uneahi-
rnnns to be felt at st. Petersburg There Is vague
feeling of uncertainty,about the course which England
hs arry Val Constannope may have not lit to do
with the resolution delay somewhat the decisive step
