The Turco-Russian War.
TIE POSITION IN ASIA MINOR.


The following is the Turkish official &C.
count Of the position of affairs in Asia
Minor on the morning of the 9th of June
Mukhtar Pasha's headquarters with nine
battalons was at Koprokos. The Turkish
right consisting Of twenty battalions was al
Delibaba. The Turkish left wing, sixteen
battalions, was at Gurdji and the baggage
about six hours: march from Erzeroum.
The same account only assigns four batter
les of artillery to these forty-five battalions
which seems incredible, though it has been
repeatedly stated from various sources that
the Turks in Asia Minor were almost des-
titute of artillery. This report places the
main body of the Russian right wing
at Olti with an advanced guard at Mari
man, and the Russian center at Soghauli
Dagh. The Russian left has suspended its
forward movement. The Russian detached
column is approaching Van and has reached
the bridge of Bandimahou, twenty miles
from Van.

levy an internal loan.

stroyed.

BUCHAREST TO BE DECLARED IN STATE OF
SIEGE.
LONDON, June z.
Several specials confirm the report that
Bucharest is about to be proclaimed in @
state of siege. The Russian police, owing
to the reputation Of Roumania as a gather.
ing place for Poles and turbulent charac.
tiers, deemed 1t necessary to take severe
precautions for the cars safety. Besides
sending a hest Of secret police, they demand
the unlimited right of arresting suspicious
individuals. Roumania refused this, be.
cause it was direct violation of the Rou.
manian convention and the constitution.
The Grand Duke Nicholas has manifested
his displeasure by not noticing the
prime minister and the foreign minister
when they went to meet him on his last
visit to Bucharest. The Roumanian gov.
ernment will probably consent to proclaim
the state OF siege, which would permit the
exceptional measure desired. The Rus.
slams are complaining of the i'll will and dill
atoriness of the Roumanians, and the latter
of the offensive and almost brutral beha.
vior of the Russian officers.
