WAR NEWS.
TIE SITUATION.

\ London dispatch OF the 2Dtn says q
general view Of the war in Bulgaria ut
the present moment separates the com
battants into three groups. Suleiman
Pasha, giving up all thought of relev-
ing Pevna, stands at bay on new line,
with Rasgrad as the central pivot. In
this position he can readily fall back on
Varna and Shumla in case of defeat,
and will be able to oppose zimmerman
with superior force, and, at the same
time. can greatly hinder the Russians
in any operations that may be under
taken against Rustchuck or Silistria.
The main point to bear in mind, how
ever, Is that the eastern Turkish army
has no longer any tactical connection
with the western. On the latter side
Ghaza Osman is left to do the best he
can for himself, Il very serious matter,
as Gen. Gourko is already beginning to
harass the communication of Plevna
with Sofia. A third group is Shipka,
where fighting appears a. going on al
ar not wanting that Raouf Pasha intends
to reinforce Suleiman Pasha with the
bulk of his command

first ATTACK the Rounanians were re-
pulsed before they gained the redoubt,
