BAD CONDITION OF THE TURKS ON THE
DANUBE.
NBw YORK, June 8.
The Hersld's cable dispatches say por-
tion of the Turkish fleet is blocked in the
Upper Danube, and another in worse con-
dition below Ibrail. The passage of the
Russians cannot be prevented. All hopes
of great deeds by the Turkish Danuban
fotilla look delusive. One hundred thou
sand people welcomed the czar at Bucha-
rest A perfect understanding with Prince
Charles was reached. A sudden collapse
of the Turks In Asia Minor is impending,
because Erzeroum is utterly unprovisoned
and Kunlevei evacuated. Desertions are
numerous. Muhktar Pasha's army is with
out discipline. The Russian advance up
the valley of Tchuruckbol river will soon
cut of Trebizond from the interior, and
then the entire eastern part of Asia Minor
will have acknowledged Russian military
authority.

The peace party grows stronger. Grand
Vizier and Safvet Pasha are very anxious
to make peace before fresh complications
arise. At council held Monday, the sui

prevailed, but if the Asiatic campaign
