The Turks are evidently evi-dently concentrating their forces on the Danube by abandoning with a show of resistance all lets important points as the Russians advance. Apparently Ap-parently their shortened liuo will aoon be confined to the defence of only their itrongeat positions in Bulgaria. This confession of the Rus-ians' superiority su-periority is expected to relieve the heroic Montenegrins; also to make it prudent lor Servia soon to take an active part in the aggresaiva movements move-ments againbt the Turks. Rustclmk, 26. The bombardment of this place continued all yesterday. English agents report that the English Eng-lish consulate, which had a lan:a union jack floating, seems to have been singled out lor a concentrated fire, and was completely destroyed. la Armenia the Turks are doing better. They have succeeded in pre venting the Russian treops advancing from the diroction of Bayazaid and eflecting a junction with the column marching upon Erzeroum from Kars, but the Turks are unable to succor Kars, and when the latter is reduced the Ruisian junction can readily be effected for the grand field fight on Erzeroum plaiui, which many strate-geists strate-geists still believe is to be the decisive battle in advance of the rcuewed efforts by the European poweri for peace. The news from Armenia is very contradictory. The Turks claim to have gained a great victory near Deibaba, taking 1,000 priioners. This report ia denied by the Russians. |
