correspondent, writing under date Of April
10Th. gives the following as a. summary, OF
the situation In regard to Rounania: When
the Russians crossed the Pruth the, .Rou-
maniians were nearly frightened out OF their

their oft-repeated threat Of crossing the
Danube - f'a .rTcAt ie!g 'if@ .a',#H-.'
!! The Government at Bucharest was loud
in its professions Of neutrality publishing
manifesto declaring its intention to remain
perfectly neutral, and, announcing its reso-
luton of withdrawing all its forces into the
interior of the. country. Despite this an
nouncenient, BY. some mysterious fatality
Roumanian troops and artillery seemed to
gravitate towards the Danube instead OF the
interior. AS each day lessened the danger
OF the Turks crossing the Danube, and as
the Russians continued to cross the frontier,
the courage of the Roumanians rose, and
within the last forty-eight hours we have
heard mueh less OF Rouraanian neutrality.
