LONDON. Monday, May l3, 1873.
Special Con, autinople telegrams state that Cen
eral Todlcbcn made pcremptory demand for the
surrender Of the forresses accompanied by threat
to occupy Constantinoplc.
The Cabinet Council thcrcupon decided to evacu-
ate all three Of the fortrcsses shumla first, then
Varna and lastly Baum.
The decision was taken rather suddenly upon the
report of Osman Pasha that the Turkish Army was
not in condition to resist the occupation of Constan
:inOplc.
The Rac,s correspondent at Constantinople says
"Asusual the Palace was ~mIt'en with terror and was
ready to ccdc anything If the Russians would 50
away from Conetantiuoplc.
General Todlcben pcremptorily urged the eyaeua-
ton. but adroily offered 10 fall back If the fort
rrs,cs were surrendered.
The bat was swallowed, and the Russians have
promised, 20 my informant assures me, to retire to
Adrianoplc and Dcd"agatch and quit Erzcrum as
soon ~ the three fortresscs are evacuated.
The evacuation Will begin at once. There Is to
be no written convention. and all will be settled by
verbal agreement"

WAsnINGToN, May 12.-Thc reports of the eXcit-
ing scene which occurred in the House of Represen-
tatiyes on Friday afternoon, in which General Harry
White took prominent part, contain two errors
which were very natural ones when the great con-
fusion which prevailed at the time IS taken
into consideration. Ono of them was that
General White taken to his seat by the Sergeant
alarms. The other is that Mr. Turner shook bis
fist in General Whites face There was Sergeant
alarms on the floor at the time of the excitement
but he did not intcrfere and both General White
and Mr. Turner deny that any fist shaking
occurred. General White made his second
spcech. which caused so much confusion, at
the request of Republican Representative III
reply to Mr.. Hutton, who bad said that
the Federal Government by its refusal 10
exchange prisoners was responsible foi the snnTr-
ings i'm libby and other Southern prisons, and who
had deied General White TO show an instance IN
which Southern loyalists had been made to suheT
for their devotion to the Union. This General
White was proceeding to do when the scene oc-
cured the Democrats being determined by thelf
interruption TO prevent him from going on

ST. PETERSBURG, May IL, 1878.
The Agencc Russe states that although it yesterday
observed that it was impossible to know the
proposals of which Count Schouvaloff was the bear
er, it stands to reason that they must refer
to the only two solutions of which the present
question admits, namely, the dismembcrment and
partition of the Ottoman Empire, or combination
assuring the vitality of Turkey and the complete
independence of the Christian population from
Turkish administration, while leaving them, never
thcless, tributary to the Porte.
The AGoRoe claims that the latter solution would
be advantageous fer Turkey, and is the only wise
and temperate one practicable at present.
The Jgooe suggests that Europe. i'll Congress,
should intrust Austria with the administration OF
Bosnia, and adds that precisely because England
and Russia do not desire the dismemberment Of
Turkey an understanding 10 both desirable and pos
