Reports Of Q Russian advance be.
yond Adrianople are attracting atten-
tion, but wild statements from Con.
stantinople do not command much
credit. It was thought at most only
few Russian cavalry can have been
seen in the direction Of Gallipoli.
In the House of Commons, yester-
day, the Under Secretary for Foreign
Department, in reply to q question,
said the foreign offices has received
no authentic information that strong
Russian force was marching on Gal.
lipoli, but had received reports con-
corning the truth Of which it had no
means Of Judging, that Russian
troops were advancing in that direc.
tion. The panic in Constantinople
consequent on the evacuation of Ad-
risnople and the arrival of thousands
of refugees, would be sufficient to
account for the circulation Of such
rumors.
