WAR NEWS.

A dispatch from Bogot, 31st, says
After an exceedingly difficult passage over
snow covered mountains and frozen foot
paths the vanguard of Russian division has
occupied the Balkan passes between Arabak-
onak and Sophia, and cavalry has already
been stationed on the Sophia road. The
Turks were taken by surprise, consequently
the Russian loss was small.
A dispatch from Bogot, Sd, says:
Gen. Gorko fought severe battle on the 31st
of December, at Tashesan. Before securing
the Turkish entertainments, the Russians
lost 200 men in killed and wounded. The
Turks retreated at nightfall toward Sofia,
pursued by the cavalry. After halt for rest
and reorganization, Gen. Gourko resumed
his advance upon Sofia.
The Turkish forces have evacuated
Sofia. The Russians have occupied Ilidja,
thus completing the Gordon around Erze-
roum.
An official dispatch, received at st.
Petersburg on the 9Th, says that Sofia was
entered on the Sd inst, after skirmish in
which the Russians lost only "a men. A tel
egram from Gen. GOurko announces des-
perate engagement ON the I'd, near Bogrov.
The Turks attempted 10 surround five
battalions of Russian infantry and a
brigade cavalry, but were defeated, leaving
1000 dead on the field; the Russians lost
200. The Russian detachment under Gen.
Dsdeville, which supported Gen. Gourko in
his movements over the Balkans, had SO men
frozen to death in one night, and
$40 frost-bitten. An official dispatch
states that the Russians lost
on crossing the Balkans, however, was not
so great As it was frst supposed. The Turks
suffered enormously, and immense numbers
of killed and wounded were found on their
positions on December 81. The whole plain
Of KAmArli was streNn with Turkish corpse.

THE Chicago Tribune Washington
correspondent learns that a plan is in
contemplation at the Treasury Depart
ment to send TO the Senate bill in
tended as compromise for the Bland
bill. The proposition will be to so
amend the Bland bill as to make the
silver dollar equal to a greepback, and
legal tender to the same extent as the
United III States notes are. This
movement, however, will not
be Y made if the amendment
prevails in the Senate restricting the
legal-tender limit Of the dollars. An
other proposition of the opponents of
the Bland bill is to coin dollar Of the
same value intrinsically as the gold dol
lar on the basis of the present price of
silver. 1t is manifest, from the fact that
these different expedients are being con-
sidered in official circles, that the Presi-
dent is anxious to avoid a veto, and does
not desire to break with Congress upon
the silver question. t ID l.,i H.. 80.

IT is reported that bill is now in
course of preparation, providing for the
issue by the Government Of a bond of
low denomination for the purpose of
funding the public debt. The idea is to
adopt, as near as possible, the French
system, and make the denomination of
the bond as low as $5, in order to
bring it within the reach of small
depositors in savings-banks. It is
estimated the S9OO,OOO,0Oo now in the
different savings-banks would be imme-
diately withdrawn and invested in such
a loan, and the loan will be accepted in
place of National savings-banks. 1t is
proposed that the Government shall
