In Europe. The main theatcr Of opera

there that most resistance IL 70 DO feared

tho Austrians. II Austria 10 drawn into the
vortex Of war. will penetrate into the enc

tschments OF Russian soldiers took up po-
sitions In tho immediate neighborhood Of
bucharest. where tho Roumanian govern.

realization Of Gortschakofrs threat TO n.

will hnd Roumania bound hand and foot.
and completely under tho control Of Rus
sian troops. precisely as tho eastern part
Of Ioumelis around Constantinopls is.
And. indeed. Constantinople 10 ~ thor
oughiy beneath the foot Of the Grand Duke
Nicholas a. though his soldiers were quar-.
tered In the city. instead Of At San ste-
fano. and the moment war is declared they
will take possession Of the city. peaceably.
II they can ; forcibly. II they must. In
anticipation Of this, and because the Sul.
tan Is Just now In one Of his moods which
inclines him to lean toward England. the
Turks have recently begun to erect Q limo
Of fortiacsiions between San stefsno and
Constantinople, from behind which they
might defend tho walls Of tho city from

the work on this line should be stopped.
The Sultan knew full we'll that disobedi.

immediate occupation Of Stamboul BY the
Russians. and humbly commanded bis Of.

tlon Of this submission 10 his will. the
Grand Duke Nicholas kindly consented 70
remain where no .is. and not yet profans
the streets Of tho holy city by the impious
tread Of Christian soldiers. It 10 reported
that osman Pasha ordered tho construc.
ton Of these works without consulting the
Minister OF War. This looks very much
like . cowsrdly attempt on the part Of the
Sultan to mako . scapcgoat Of the most
gallant soldier In his service. That o..
man Pasha wonld begin so important .
work as this, with . Russian army within
six miles Of tho gates Of Constantinople.
except upon tho authority Of his supsriors,
is an absurd supposltion. Russia will
watch the Turk more closely In the South
from this time on. until . definite deter
minsiion for war or peace has been ar
rived at.

the Turkish authorities there have asked
the Porte for instructions In the matter.
This will probably force tho Sultan TO

about TO Join with Russia, he will Of course
refuse his sanction to tho British occupa-
