Tho War in tho East.
LoypoS. July l5.-There Is no trust
worthy news from tho armios In Bulgaria.
Recent special dispatches announcing that
grca. battles we're progressing provo
groundless. That the Russians are closing
In upon Rustchuk Ia probable. although
their concentration must still be In . very
backward state, since telegraphio COM
munication between Rustchuk and
Shumla was intact up 10 Friday. How.
ever. a Constantinople dispatch OF satur-
day announces that tho Russians are
approaching Resgrad. and have probably
cut the railway near that point. IL
IL conjectured by some that tho Turks will
maintain the defensive lins~ extending from
Rustchuk, via Shumla, to 0sman Baza-,
and will give battle In the opon
field. Tho Constantinoplo telegram
above mentioned strongly opposes this
presumption. since the chief object Of such
a defensive line would DO 10 protect the
railway which feeds the qnadrilateral.
This railway has now been apparently cut
by the russians without opposition. A
more plausible theory Is, that the Turks
will await development OF the russian
campaign In expectation that Rustchuk
aud ShumlA must DO bcsleged, and o or
both DO reduced before the advance on tho
Balkans eau be undertaken. They hope
thus 10 consume the season wherein opera
tions are practicable, as Nustchuk and
ShumlA are believed capable OF Q length
ened resistance, aud meantime the Bal
kan passes could bo strengthened and re-
inforced. Two things appear certain; first.
that the Russians cannot cross the passes OF
the Balkans at Sophia by o coup, de ssaia,
rs was NJ one time expected. since tho Turks
have already taken precautions against such
a movement. Secondly-Tlat the single
bridge at simnitza remains the only
means OF communicating with and supply
ing the army south Of the Danube. As
this bridge must lie barely adequate for
day to day requirements, and has been
several times broken by storms u tho
current Of tie river, there cannot yet have
been any such accumulation OF material
and transport al Sistoya rs would Justify
n general advance. IL seems improbable
therefore that the Russians can originate
any very startling movement for tho pres.
emf, and II the Turks choose IN keep their
f~ortihcations Adyices from Bulgaria bid
