MAY MEAN MUCH TO TURKEY.
The Death of the Russian Consul III
Mitrovitxa and What May Follow.


Vienna, April 5.-"If I am killed
Turkeys extinction is certain" is the
statement attributed to NJ. St. Cher
bina, Russian consul at Mitrovitza, be-
fore he was shot.
The consurs words have made a
deep impression on the sultan. They
are also considered by the insurgents
as an indication that Russia may be
expected in a short time to refuse to
temporize any further with Turkey
and to organize a scheme for Euro
pean intervention.
An Austrian member of parliament,
who has just returned from a jour-
ney through the Balkans, said:
THE reforms have failed to pacify
the Christians, because of the exag-
g%erated reports in the English and
French newspapers, and because of
the hope that Russia would come to
the rescue whenever Slav blood be-
gan to flow. This statement confirms
the reports that the Bulgarians, who
are strong, primitive, cruel and re-
lentless, are the prime movers in the
instruction.
'These Bulgarians are keen stu
dents of European political tenden-
cies, and discern the possibility of a
new triple alliance as the result of
the confused and threatening situa-
ton in the Balkan peninsula. Great
Britain, France and Italy are the pow
ers associated in this connection, and
the particular object set before them
is the preservation of the status quo
and the pacifcation of southeastern
Europe.
"It is believed that this alliance,
which already exists in sentiment, is
daily becoming closer. The three ma
tions, without any reservation touch
ing Russia's ally, are a unit in their
suspicion and apprehension regarding
the real purpose of Russia and Aus
tria in the Balkans. They are afraid
that they may wake up some morning
and find Turkey in ruins, with Russia
and Austria in possession of the de-
bris. The views of England, France
and Italy as to the proper course of
action in the disturbed peninsula are
absolutely Harmonious. None of the
three powers doubt the sincerity of
the others.

MILITIA and THE ARMY.
Steps taken to Secure Cooperation
Between the National Guard
and the Regular Army.
IRRESPONSIBLE STORIES CORRECTED.
Statement Made by Gen. Corbin, Adj
jutant General of the Army-The
National Guard Must he Inspected
and the Results known Before
New Arms Will be Issued.

Washington, April 5.-Gen. Corbin,
adjutant general of the army, has
made a terse statement of the steps
which have been taken under the mill.
tia law to secure cooperation be-
tween the national guard, organiza.
ton and the regular establishment
The statement was nude by request
to straighten out the many irrespon.
sible stories which have been circu.
lated as to the plans and intentions
of the department in connection with
the new law. The general said:
"The war college board has consid.
cred the militia law in it's every bear.
ing. The judge advocate general OF
the army has given it consideration.
The board has pointed out the neces.
sary details of the work in putting
the law into effect.
"The judge advocate general has
outlined for the secretary of war his
powers under the law. The secretary
has ordered that there shall be in
spection of all the national guard reg
iments. Orders have been sent to the
department commanders for them to
issue the necessary orders to officers
for the inspection details. That is as
far as the department has gone. That
is as far as the department will go at
present. That is far as it is neces-
sary to go. There will be no fur
ther steps until these inspections
show clearly the extent of the nation
al guard organizations and the de-
gree of their efficiency"
Gen. Corbin denies that any steps
have been taken in the direction of is
suing the new and modern guns for
the militia. He says it would be man
ifestly absurd to issue guns before
accurate information was at hand as
to the number of men in each com
mand.
Gen. Corbin believes that the in
spections can all be completed by
May l. He says there will be at least
one regular army officer as inspector
for every militia regiment. The in
spections will be held at times and
places which are satisfactory to the
officers and men of the national
guard.

On February 10, 1862, Gen. Grant arrived before Fort Donelson with
an army of some 10000 men. The investment of the place al practically
completed o. the 18th. One of the inspiring incidents at Donelson was
the charge of the brigade composed of the Seventeenth, Fortyeighth and
Fortyninth Illinois regiments against Maneys battery. Time after time
they climbed the hill, only to be driven back when success seemed assured
by a CALLING infantry fire. Severe fighting continued throughout the 14h
and 18th, and it a not until Gen. Floyd had telegraphed his chief, Gen.
johnson, that the victory was with the confederates that the mistake "a
discovered. Gen. Grant announced as his terms unconditional surrender"
and these were accepted by Gen. Buckner at Dover Tavern, where the sur
render occurred, on the 10th of February, 1862.
