LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.

LONDON, May 21.-The recent movements
OF the Russian troops before Constantine
pie, though these are stated to have been for
sanitary reasons, came near precipitating
collision. The Russian line at one time was
pushed so near the Turkish works that the
latter were manned and ammunition was
served out, and General Baker valentine
Bakery had sent an aid de camp to notify
the Russian commander that he would fire
on the line il he did not withdraw it. The
effect has been to attract the attention OF
the Turks to the comparatively weak state
Of that portion OF their line which covers
the Black-Sea entrance to the Bosphorus,
which the Russians naturally desire to Sc
cure in case of hostilities. The Turks are
therefore taking precautions in that direc-
ton.

United States will depart from the observ-
ance of the three rules OF the Washington

cussing the responsibility resting on the
Governments of Russia and the United
States, since there was no reason to suppose
