part of her territory, notwith-
standing its independence was
acknowledged by the United

leo and confscating the property
of American merchants within

cluded at Gaudaloupe Hidalgo,
February 2, I84S.

Which Must Be Overcome by

MANY NATURAL OBSTACLES

The Whole Country Is Full of
FOrtificatlOns.

London. Aug. ga dispatch to the
Daily Mail from St. Petersburg says:
The German defense in East Prus-
STA is based on four parallel and strong
ly fortified lines running north and
south. Each is supported by natural
obstacles. The foremost three lines are
distinct groups Of numerous lakes. The
fourth and strongest defense line is the
vistula river. extending from the Rus
sian frontier to the Baltic.
Outside these defense lines the Ger
mans have on northeast the very strong
fortress OF Konigsburg with the forth
ned advance positions at Libau and
Tapau. This is situated on the flank Of
the Russian line and must be invested,
necessitating the detachment Of a con-
siderable force.
The foremost three defense lines are
extensively fortified. There are i'm
portant and permanent Notifications at
Allenstein and Boyen and the whole is
filled with lakes. leaving only compar-
atively narrow defiles for the advance
ing troops The country is full Of for
tifcations. partly provisional and partly
field works. most of which are filled
with heavy guns. A frontal attack
would be a very difficult task.
Guarded by Six Fortresses.
The Vistula. from 500 to 1000 yards
wide, is guarded by six fortresses. The
largest are at Thorn in the south and
at Danzig in the north. Between them
are Fordon. Kuhn. Garudenz and
Mariensburg.
