special says the anxiety manifested as to the safety of lt bullis and col young with the troops under their command will ba somewhat some Bome what allayed by a telegram just received by gen ord it will be remembered that secret information of a raid wag was received by the united states auth cities irl ri ties and bullis one of the most vigilant meers officers off sent after the marauders a band of mexican indians he struck the trail of one of the parties of raiders a and nd followed them across the river but coming upon themie found that the force of mexicans wab waa too large for his small detachment of troops to cope cop w with ith and he retreated for reinforcements P colonels davis and young were also aiso dispatch edwith sufficient troops for any ordinary emergency inquest in quest of the other bands of raiders which had committed several murders and had stolen several hundred horses it appears from the slight advices advises received here that bullis with his force immediately crossed the rio klo grande and went a as s rapidly as possible to a point where he was compelled to retreat by the superior r numbers of ehe the raiders whether Yh ether he found them at the same place or has perseveringly followed the trail into the unexplored mountain fastnesses fast nesses ol 01 northern chihuahua is not known the latter seems most likely as had he fallen in with the raiders and escaped total annihilation some definite information ol 01 the result of his pursuit would probably have appeared before this in the event of an attempt to follow the trail of indians into a country comparatively unknown expect by the robbers and murderers which dwell there his task might occupy a month colonels Colon elm eln davis and young went along the river seeking after the trail of the raiders endeavoring to find the point at which they crossed to gain this information they crossed and re crossed the river at such points as they deemed most likely to discover some traces of the fugitives the upper part of the rio bio grande flows through deep callons caf ions and in defiling through the narrow trails along the river the troops were fired upon by a party of mexicans probably lying in ambush no information has been received whether or not any of our troops were killed or even whether the fire of the mexicans was returned neither 1 is it known whether it was the command of bullis or that of davis or of young which was wag attacked by the indians ord is of the opinion that an engagement ga of some description has taken place between the mexican cali call indians and our troops in the cabi ons of the rio grande but he says sass the united states troops are of 6 asu sufficient f strength to protect themselves the police continue their wholesale raiding on the liquor dealers who were not licensed and at an early hour this morning the station houses were all filled with prisoners mandof many of these had been arrested on the previous loui ioui night and were out on bail ball awaiting trial the prevailing uncertainty as to the financial legislation by congress continues to hang like a pall upon the business of the country the exchanges for the whole month of november as compared with the same month last year seem to show an aggregate gain of three and four tenths per cent but a trifle more than this aggregate gain ga in 1 appears at new york alone the exchanges at the other cities aggregating a loss ofine of ne fifth per cent boston cincinnati louisville and milwaukee show small gains compared with the remarkable depression during november 1876 but philadelphia chicago baltimore st SL louis pittsburg and new orleans report even a less november business this year than jast wt year CHICAGO 8 the rimes london special says the present is regarded as the supreme crisis in turkish shaf affairs fairs faits in bulgaria Bul bui garla garia where the result will be the relief 1 I lef of osman or the collapse of turkish resistance outside the quadrilateral and north of the balkans the journals are despondent and frank suleiman haa baa been so slow in following up his success that he will gain no substantial advantage A correspondent at bucharest telegraphs that no jio alarm is felt at the beati headquarters quarters of the who although he has only men has his big positions so as to compensate for his bis inferiority to the turks in numbers it is believed possible that suile man may secure temporary and isolated successes but it is impossible that he can force the russian positions on the janara line of entrenchments trench ments in view of the belief that sul sui suleiman el has bas draw drawn his forces west of the quadrilateral and attacked the gen zimmerman has been ordered to strike turkish communications between varna and shumla unless the turks tur s succeed in defeating the they are likely to get much the worst of the present plesent move it is still believed at bucharest that the attack by suleiman wa wr intended as a heavy feint to mask some important movement or draw the russians from plevna and permit osman to break through including the garrison of the quadrilateral and the army of the tie the turks have men in eastern bulgaria and a heavy force 0 of f irregulars that suleiman attacked with so small a portion of his force iud idd indicates leates that a general movement was not lu tended intended A correspondent at vera says a general advance has been begun by suleiman for the purpose of thinning the left wing of the and cutting off the russians from ka hesayo he says the turks still hoid hold ail all litho lithe the points gaine dand that a heavy heavy engagement took place on yesterday from to east and southeast of Tir nova in which the russians fell feu back undercover under cover of the night the events of the next five days are regarded in london as sure to be decisive of the campaign and ably as to the end of the war the tribunes 2 3 london special a telegram from states that Tir nova by speedy reinforcement 1 from biela is fully secured against surprise from suleiman pasha and that the relief of plevna Is impossible A detachment was pushed forward to sin Sia driving the turks thence and pursuing them in the direction of debrava Deb rova thus turning the right flank of the turkish forces and compelling them to desist from their attack on jacon it itza considerable attention is directed to the statements published yester yeater day in bucharest chiefly extracted frum from the golos and other russian newspapers according to which it is thought better to continue the war than to agree to a patched up peace which would compel russia sooner or later to recommence hostilities tili ties in order to secure a conclusion of such a peace as she requires for the development of reforms at home washington 8 there is no truth in the story that lerdo has renounced his claims to the presidency of mexico tb tha news that guerrero and michoacan had revolted against diaz though not officially confirmed is believed to be true and it has materially revived the hopes of berdos friends alvarez and guerrero are well known to symra chize cordially with lerdo berdo as the only constitutional president that diaz can send to that frontier state troops enough to suppress rebellion is not believed especially as the revolt would lie be abundantly supplied with munitions of war by american speculators who look to the future mining and railroad operations in that quarter at the same time let nobody fall into the mistake of supposing our adminis is taking the least step towards the promotion of the sonora revolt or looking to further acquisition of mexican territory whoever invests in the rebellion must do it at his own risk the Ame american amerlean administration is evidently be becoming coining impatient with mexican delays in settling the rio bio grande question the reticence of the state department cannot conceal the fact that the secretary feels that while mexico ia is ready to promise everything in reference to a plan of adjustment it takes lakes no practical step toward that end it is several weeks since the general plan pian for a new treaty such aiwas as was outlined in this correspondence at the time it was informally agreed upon by semiofficial semi official negotiations and was sent to minister foster at the city of mexico vath the ex expect pec pee tation that it would be promptly put inform in form and signed there is no doubt that diaz sincerely desires to prevent border raids but good intentions will not of themselves give ive lve peace to that section general ord rd reports that whereas acy to relief the military policy was gradually succeeding he thinks a con CoD congressional gressional indorsement endorsement indor of the military policy would have the desired result because it would convince the mexican government and people that that policy is not a mere
