rBY CABLE TO THE HERALD

There IL little news OF interest from the East
this morning, and having no new fact to base the.
ory upon the principal point discussed by those
who are interested in the Eastern question
is the time when the war is to begin. No one
whose opinion is worth taking into account has
now the slightest doubt that war between Russia
and Turkey is one OF the certainties of the imme-
date future. The question is, VIII 1t begin month
earlier or later-wi the principal EFFORT Of Russia
be made in Europe or Asias People no longer talk
Of the generalization and inenlciency OF the Rus
rian army-t Is now an acknowledged and un-
doubted fact that the Gear has formidable and well
appointed force at his disposal and the opening OF
the campaign is looked forward to with no little
anxiety here. 1t is impossible to predict what att.
tude England may be obliged to assume during tho
struggle, and it is pretty certain that her ultimate
policy must be determined by events AS 1t Is &C
would go to war, 1t is natural that people here
should watch the progress of events with the keen.
est possible interest.
