FOREIGN NEWS,


LONDON, July l1.-The Turks have so
completely suppressed all information
about the disposition aud movements of
their troops that not even an idea can be
formed of what they mean to do, but it
shows either utter helplessness or else
very deep laid plan that they should have
neglected brilliant opportunities afforded
them OF meeting the Russians to advan-
tage. The Times IN leading article, says
it believes the Russians cannot advance in
force upon the Balkans until they have Sc
cured the communication by constructing
a position on the Danube as strong as any
in possession of the Turks This will re-
quire month at least Excursions of
Cossacks to Tirnova Pluna Selyi and
Lowatza have little or no military signif-
eance
LIVERPOOL, July Il.-The interna
tional cotton convention met to-day. The
business transacted was purely of formal
nature. Tonight the delegates will be
entertained at dinner by the president and
members of the American chamber oi
commerce. After tomorrow mornings
meeting there will be an excursion tc

LONDON, July 1.-THE Daily News
states that the British feet at Besika Bay
with additions ordered by the Admiralty
will present an aggregate of "a vessels, with
one hundred .andi fifty guns, and crew
of seven or eight thousand men.
/ A special from Niena to the Times says
the abandonment Of line of Yautea by thu
Turks is the more surprising, since to judgC
from the stout defence of the Bridge and
position of Bella when the Turks repulset
the first attack of the Russians with con
siderable loss, it might have been supposed
they intended to defend it.

Proctor Knott on Blackburn n for
Sneaker

Proctor Knott has expressed to Times
correspondent his opinion about the speak
ership, If Blackburn wants the vote of
Kentucky for that office, he can have it,
Mr.. Knott says, but as there is no expecta-
tion of Blackburn's success, Randall will
ultimately get Knott's VOTE, snd probably
the vote Of the Kentucky delegation. Ran
dalPs course in the days of the filibusters
and Joe Bradey's commission, according
to the belief of MIR, Knott, raised him above
the level of partisanship There were
many who thought at the time that it
sunk him even below that not very exalted
level; but that does not matter now. Ran
dali has evidently captured Knott, and
that counts something more than one in
the caucus Mr.. Knott is inclined to
maintain his place among the irreconoilable
on the presidential question. He asserts
that Kentucky will never be reconciled
to this administration" But that only
proves that in regard to Kentucky's stti.
tude Mr. Knott knows as little as be does
about Randalls delivery of the filibuster:
at the last session.

More Spanish Trouble-Seizure of Ameri
can Capt. and Delay while Cruising

Boston, July ll--A letter from Capt.
Taylor, of the whaling schooner Rising
Sun, states that on the Goth of May he
was cruising off the south Keys of Cuba on
the lookout for whales, that about 9
A. NJ, school was sighted; Capt. Taylor
and his chief mate, Atkins. killed two
small whales, and were pursuing others
when he was fred upon by Spanish
cruiser and his chief mate taken prisoner
and held as hostage until the arrival OF
the Spanish gunboat Wake; he was de-
tanned days on board the cruiser when
the Spanish gunboat arrived and declared
his papers correct. His detention at thi,
particular time in the midst of the schoo
of whales was a serious loss to Capt. Tay
lor's vessel.
