The .Turco-R Russian War.
IssIAN DELAY AND TURKISH INABILITY.

Vienna dispatch says; ; One thing
seems pretty certain, that for some reason
delay has occurred in the Russian advance
in Asia. Fortunately for Russia, the Turks
seem scarcely in position to take advan-
tage OF this delay. All accounts from the
spot agree that the condition of their forces
is even worse than is generally believed.
They are considerably fewer than has been
assumed, and, with the exception of arms,
lack everything. There seems even to be
hardly any reserve stock of ammunition,
especially for artillery. 1t is impossible to
expect that all these shortcomings can be
remedied before the Russians push forward
to Erzeroum.
