London, May The turkish forces APP
pear to be massing towards Slllstrla and
Rustchuk, and this is the direction in which
| the Russians, by their movements, would
appear to indicate desire to pass the river;
but the Turks seem still content to remain
passively on the defensive, and make no
endeavors at any counter stroke or forward
movement which might aid them to form an
accurate judgment to the point at which
| an attack may be made. In Asia the Russian
forces are advancing in semi-circle towards
Erzerum, whilst the Turkish forces are con-
centrated in triangle towards ErZerum, Olti
and Kars. According to information received
here there are no less than lac, 900 men con-
Quoting and supporting the movements, so
that We may be prepared to hear of the first
battle having been fought south of kars, fol-
lowed by an advance forcing the passes
between Getseheven, Deli, Musato, Midschin-
ser and Nassau Kaleh, where the Turks will
have to take up a position for the defense of
Erzerum, for if any crest of mountains Dor
dering Erzeroum is won by the Russian
troops the town is lost. The Russian Consuls
of Batoum, Kars, Erleroum and Trebizond
accompany headquarters and will be entrusted
with the civil administration of the districts
occupied Very significant for the thorough
ness of the Russian advance so far is the fact
with the others throughout. This has been
accomplished by Cossacks. The number of
Turkish troops at and between Erzeroum,
Kars and Batoum is $4,000 regulars, of
whom 1000 are cavalry and about 1000
artillery. In addition there are some 5000
mailitia and about 5000 Kurdish regular
cavalry. Kars is well armed but the detached
forts are badly placed and cover each other
insuthcieftly not at all; nor are any of the
fortresses well provisioned with the exception
of E1zeroum, where there is large stock of
rice and Indian corn.
Camp Robinson, Neb May 6-The sur
render of Crazy Horses band took place at
this point at 2 P NJ. to-day. The affair
passed off very quietly. The band numbers
nearly 1, 300 souls under Crazy Horse, Little
Hawk, He Dog and Little Big Man, Crazy
Horse said he was making this peace to last
The ponies surrendered are estimated to
number nearly $500 They seem to be in
very good condition and have many American
horses and mules among them. As soon as
the lodges were erected a detachment of In
dian soldiers under Lieutenant Clark, of Gen
eral Crooks staff, went to each one and OBJ
tanned the number of its inmates, as well as
the surrender of all the arms. This task is
not yet completed, but up to the time of writ
ing over one hundred guns have been OBJ
tanned, chiefly improved breech- leaders
Crazy Horse gave up three Winchester rifles
and Little Hawk gave up two.
The Indians present good appearance,
but their village shows signs of unceasing
pursuit during the past year. Many lodges
are very old and almost Ill rags. Great num-
bers of this band have never been on a reser-
Walton before. Little Hawk one of the
principal chiefs, wears about his neck the sill
yer medal presented 10 his father by Presi-
dent Monroe in 1917. This arrival makes
the aggregate number Of the North Indians
who have surrendered to General Crook at
Red Cloud and Spotted Tail Agencies since
March nearly $500, and does away with the
necessity for mill airy expedition the com
ing Summer. General Mckenzie will hold
council with Crazy Horse and the other chiefs
tomorrow or the day after.
St. Petersburg, May "A dispatch says
the Russians have taken kars and captured
II 900 Turks. The attacking army num-
bered $4,000.

Galatz, May THE Turkish gunboats
attacked the Russian batteries below here on
Sa urday and destroyed portion of the bat
terry, dismounting the guns, and drove back |

injured.
Rome, May Fifteen hundred Frerch |
pilgrims were received this morning at the |
Vatican. The Pope entered the Ducal Hall,
where the pilgrims gathered, accompan-
led by twelve Cardinals and distinguished |
prelates. Viscount Dumas read the address
and presented the offerings of the faithful
His Holiness, standing on the throne, deliv-
cred an eloquent speech He addressed the
pilgrims in atfectionate terms, and blamed
the Governments who consider as revolution
airy demonstrations the religious manifesto
ton of the people who demand liberty for the
head of the Catholic Church.
