Show The First Western Press Cable Chicago, 4. The Inter-Ocean this morning publishes the first genuine special cable telegram that has ever been published in a western paper. It is dated London and occupies over half a column. Its points are ab as follows: The importance attached lo the bombardment of Ibrail is as to which party committed the first belligerent act. If Turkey, then Roumania has a valid excuse for joining Russia, and will embrace it. Austria hesitatos to protest against tbe closing of the Danube, which violates vio-lates the Paris treaty. The blockade of tho Black sea by the Turks begins to-day. In Asia, the fact that the Russian cavalry have left Wladikanshaw and occupied Bayazid nineteen miles south of Mt. Ararat, and the fact that the Turks have withdrawn to Rostock is gravely significant, considering con-sidering the treaty lately concluded between Russia and Persia. The Armenian Christians sympathize sympa-thize with Russia. Various largo meetings were hyld in English cities and towns on Friday night, to protect against English interference, in-terference, and to sustain Gladstone. Sir William Northcotc, the great traveller, Ijas just arrived. He says that Turkey's strength is largely under estimated. She has now over 400,000 soldiers in European Turkey alone, well armed, drilled, disciplined and wildly enthusiastic. Arrangements are making in London Lon-don to receive General Grant, towards to-wards whom a warm friendly feeling prevails among all classes. |
