The Russins evi- dently intend to open firc on the Turkish posi- tions along the whole line, and, under cover of an overwhelming artillery fire, will attempt to crogs the river at several points simultaneously. GIURGEVO AND RUSTCHUE. Notice has just been given that Russian bat- teries at Giurzevo may begin firing on this town and fortress at any moment. For the last two days the Russians have been establishing bat- teries on the left bank, from which the bom- ‘bardment can be directed on the forts and town of Rustchuk and a station of the.

The Turkish fortresses on the Danube are in samirable order, and are well prepared to withstand an attack. - The banks of the Do- brudscha are lined with Cossacks and bashi- bazouis, who keep up a constant rifle fire. ARMENLA. The forward movement in Armenis has been suspended through want of stores and forage. The cavalry is compelled to make requisitions over o wide extent of country. The house which the Grand Duke Nicholas will occupy ot Ployesti has been hired for a whole year. This gives rise to much political comment. CONPIRMED. KiscueNevr, May 12—It is officially con- firmed that the Russians sank a large Turkish monitor in the Danabe yesterday. The shell penctrated the boller of the monitor, resulting in an explosion which fired the magazine. The ‘monitor sank, and the entire crew and 200 sol- diers perished. IN ASIA MINOR.

There are frequent councils and hints thrown out as to Whether it wonld not be better to treat with the Russlans before they cross the Danube. GERMANY: A VAST CAMP. NEw YORE, May 12.—George H. Boker,. United States Minister to Russiz, said in an in- terview: * Germany to-dayis one vast camp. She is stronger than ever before, and better fited for war, but this has been accomplished at the cost of prosperity. The army is there for an object, and that object 1sto so thoroughly crush France that all ides of revenge by ‘Le Grand Nation? will be thoroughly out of the question for a generation or two. Germany could mnot carry out this plan had Russla been at peace, for the Em- peror Alexander, when the- subject was . broasched to him, would not hear of - it, and it 18 o fact that bat for his firmpess and decision the Germans would have declared war long ago: heace, in ordéreffectually to dispose of Russia, Germany was obliged to wait untit that Power became involved with Turkey, and, to effect this, the German Ambassador spared no pafns by urzing upon Russians the fact that Gérmany would not interfere with any pro- gramme the Czar would undertake tocarryout.” ANOTHER COLOR. BrrLIN, May 12—The Emperor William ‘has received the French Ambassador, and commis- sioned him ¥ forward a message to President MacMahon expressive -of the Emperor’s good wishes for France. GENERAL.
