UTTEN DEMONALIZATION, [By Cable to the Chicago Tridune,) Loxpox Orrior or Ttz Ostroaao Tinune, Savisnuny Srneer, W, O., June 19,—A corre. spondent at Constantinople writes that at the palaco it is not so much the tightness of financos as the sharp nip of foar that pinchos. The Bultan had faith in Mahmoud® and Itedif, and in the military power’ of tho “Empiro. But that faith has now perished, and the saddened Boverolgn sits all day in the lalf-light of a faded chamber, frolting, with aching heart and quivering nporves, over the lost {llusions of liia shoit rolgn. ‘What now most troubles tho Minlsterial mind is tho foar of HOMZ OUTBREAK IN TUK CAPITAL, Partly outof terror and partly to show zeal for the Bultau's safely, a very harmless demonstration of the Boftas a fortnight ago has beon visited with groat severity upon that body and upon all who wera suspectod of friondship with Midhat, who is Redif's scapegoat for all that goes amiss, This severity, the garbling of oficial war news, tho gagging. of the newspapers, and tho ro- porta of roverso after roversein Asis, has pro- ged 10 the formatian of bands o | G0CEd 8 forment in the popular mind which ENDANGERS MORE TUAN ANYTRING ELSX the Bultan’s Throne. — GREECE, THE WABR-FEILING, [By Cabie to.

Lonpox, June 19.—~In no brigade of the Rue- sian troops collected to the south and west of Bucharest do the sick exceed 8 per cent,and even of these the nilments arc never serfous nor otan epldomic charncter. These facts are de- tived from an Inspection of the medieal returna, ‘Thero are exaggerated reports from the fact that all the akk in ambulances and fleld-hosnitals whose recovery 1s Ikely to take time,bave been removed into rescrve hospitals st Bucharest and other places behind the Danube line, 8o as to make room for cases which the commencement of | fghting will foevitably cause. This has caused an unusual number of ambulance wagons to be scen §n Bucharest. THE DANUBR is bicher st Qalatz now than at sny previous period this scason, partly owing' to the recent Inundations, and the condition of the Reni road is very precarious.

Ghastly heads are carried every day by blood-stained murderers Into Tultcha, Matehin, Babadagh, and Hirsova. The flames of some burntog village are vistble overy night, MANIFESTO, VIERNA, June 10.—In a few days o manifesto will bo tasued by the Czar on the oceasion of the crossing of the Danabe, for which preparations on a grand scalo are now making, The Turks aro sending reluforcements to the mouth of the Timok, cvidently suspecting that the Rusalan dealgn is to cross the Danube Into Sorviaat Uladova.

ERZEROUM, THE TRIF THITIER FROM STAMDOUL. foeclal Correspondence of Tho Trivune, Enzenouss, May 20.—The journcy from Con- stantivoplo to this polnt haa not been unalloyed with discomforts. To suwa up my expericace briefly, I may say that the fondest antlcipations of squalor, wretchedness, and human degrada- tlon that one could conjura up, with the ald of 8 tolerably vivid imaglostion, have been moro than realized in my recent voyagine. Think of 8 tempestuous passage over tho Blsck Sea on a miserable little scrow steamer, among s throng of tilthy Jews, quarrelsome Tehetehins, hungry Clreassians, and thiovish Armenfans, all of whotn make common cause against you as a forelener! The idea 13 not as pleasantns o might be, and yet when you bave thought of all the unplessantrics of the situation you have only arrived at the cud of one chapter of my adveutures. The next Is even more horribly entertaivlng, But wa steamed away from Stamboul nnder pood omens. The akles were clear, and the suu- light danced upon the domes and flickered about the slender minarots of tho city, and along the broad wharves it settled fu o steady and exhila- rating glow. And the people, they who, clad In the motley garbs of the various Oriental tribes, loitered along the plers, or lolled in boats, or squatted In the sand, were as Indifferent, and s careleas, nnd as Ignorant A8 TIHEY HAVE ALWATS DERN,~ just as if a Ruesian army were not impending over the doomed city like o great flaming sword. Only about the fortifications on the Bosphorus wero thoro any indlcations of war, Hers work- men could be seen slowly piling up carthworks snd mounting guns into position. - The Rou- mili Hissar, T was told by the Captalnof the ves- sel, was being strencthencd by the addition of powerful Armatroug guns'at a height of forty fect above tha level of thostrait. I connted fourtcen embrasuros, all in that part of the works recently erccted. Three Turkish iron- clads lay at auchor underneath tho walls, The whole defense had a formidable look to any one unacquainted with thy hollowness of Turkish pretensions. ' But what aro guns without am- munition, or garrisons without commanders! As I have {nttmated, my fellow-passengdh on the stesmer were not ot a congenlal description, Many of the Jows were small traders along the coast towns of Asis Minor, and estcomed them. selves OF 1ALt INTORTANCE, albelt they were dirtier and viler than the dregs of the London stums, The odor of garlic sur- rounded them Hke the halo of sauctity about the head of 8t. John in the cheap prints, and thelr long, creasy locks hung about faces that wero cunoing end beastly as Fagln's, Moreover, cazh of these fellows concelved it his miselon tofind out all cbout my uatlouallty, my destinatlon, and my erraud, ‘and cach was rendered excessively angry and abuslve by wmy nou-compliance with bis refrealing demands, ‘The Armoulans wero loss Inquisitive, but oven inore diseusting in sppearanco, They generally lay stretelied at full leugth about the deck snd passace-ways, whera they altersately snored and smoked loug pipes, varying thelr occupas tion occasiunatly by langutd sud YUTILE KESKARCHES FOR VERNIN smong the inultitndinous folds of thelr gar ments, We had scarcely cloared the Bosphorua beloro a galo spravg up, accompanled by an tuteascly-cold raln, against which no clothing was & protection, and I was (forcod to fice the ovils of the dock for the fetid though dricr clinate of thy cabln. ‘The sea was bolsterous, ond fu a brict space of time the contents of the cabin— tables, benches, glasswaro aad crockery, Corls~ tiaus aud Jews—wero all blended {n sn almost inoxtricable inase, Fortunately for your corrs- spondent, there was opposits me, clingiug to the woat-work for support with o wild yet portina- ¢lous grip, an aucient and corpuleut Moslem, azalust Whow ot eaili lurgli of tho vessel T was burled with violence, but whose cushion-like form 2 SAVED ME PRON DRUISES that wonld bave othcrwlso been dangerons, As 1 sped towards him with lightning rapldity from time to time, ho uttercd au invocation to Allah and closed bis eycs.

The only pause that we made on the jonrney to Trebizond was at the Insieniféant town of Bamsoon, which Ia fortified with " earthworks, garrisoned by two battalions of Infantry. As we had been defayed several hours by the rough weather, wa had no tlne to visit the town, the steamer only stopping long enough to land and take on passengers. THE REST OF TIIE YOTAOR ¥a4 somewhat more endurable, and we finally landed st Trebizond, having performed the en tire distance of 540 miles in five Jdags aud three hours, . 1t was ratning ‘when I mounted horse thenext morning for Erzerotim, and it Is still rafning as1 pen theae lines; In fact, raln scems to be the normal cordition of the atmosphere {n. Asa Minor. I1had no Mttle difficulty fo sccuring Lorses for tmyself and my Zaptleh, or gulde, as all the carrlage horses hod been levied upon for war-gervice. However, a lettor to the Pasha from an officlal in Constantinople, togetber with an inclosure of s few plastres, sufficed to bring TILB NECESSARY STEEDS, ond Ibade a hearty farcwell to Treblzond, the Bemlik Kbao, the fleas, and other ap- purtenances of that unintcresting town. The mosque of Santa Sophia glowered after us through the mist until we had fled Into the mountains. Our horses were ugly-looking Leasts of small stature, but a frame of Iron, We_galloped recklessly over the uncertafn road, my Zaptich lashing his steed and mine, and further cocouraging them on by wild and dlabolical shrieks, such as none but a Turkish throat, Iam confident, could utter. The rain came down in a flood, and soon even the splash- ing of the horses’ hoofsinthe mnud was drowned in tho roaring of the mountaln torrents along which our path wound precarfously. On elther side roso precipitous bills, whose sldes were clothed with sombre dark-green plucs, lending A BTHANGE AND DEIOLATD ASPECT to the alreudy sorrowful landscape. Now and then through an opening In the rocks gleamed the whito roofs of somo villagg, but we passed through but few setticments and met still fow- er buman kind. Most of tho villages were ro- moved from the main road for some {nscrutable reason, We caught up with a company of Turkish Infantry doggedly trudging through the mire to rejoln their battallon at Erzeroum, but they were the only signs of war that we pereeived on the entire road. Towards ovenluz we descendea Into the Btavros Bozhaz, a valley of cousiderable width and abounding in evidences of fertlity and cul- tivation. Here, at a rather dilapidated Khan, over whosc entrance was an Arablc inscription of welcome, we determined to PASS THR NigOT. It fs perhaps unnecessary to remark that I was somewhat exhausted, I will even say that 1 never was so0 used up In all iy experience. A ten-hours' ride over a wild road, through a chfll~ Ing rato-storm, i not calculated to improve the spirita or to {ovigorate thebody, I was, therc- fore, quite prepared to enjoya supper and a night's rest. But, alas! {n nefther Tespect was T destined to attuin satlsfaction. Euntering the court-yard, paved with brick, we st once fonnd ourselves in o reglon of execrable smells, os if all the garbago and offal accramulated for Years had been deposited there for the especial benefit of travelers. The host or Lkhanjl appeared nt the door, sourvisaged and obese, and morosely regarded us from underneatha palr of thick bLushy eyebrows, aa it to nsk what the devll we bad come for. My Zaptieh paid little attention, however, to his ominous stare, but hastlly dis- mounted and led tho way tuto TIIB COPPEL-OOM. It was a low, vaulted chiamber, It by a couple of tapers ' fastened to the wall, and, what with thie weakness of the lights themsclyes and the thickness of the tobacco-smoke, It was somo moments before X could dlatinguish any objects. ‘The first thing to assume shape was an Immense bowl, set in the centre of the uncarpeted floor, from which puffs of smoke ascended now and tben lka incense. From the various sldes of this unique article of furniture there ran long clastic tubes, each one terminating in & human head attached to a human being squatted on the flour. I understood st once that this mechanism Was a monsetrous narghiler, or pipe, and that it was belog nsed in common by the balf-dozen or inore guests in the coffec-room. As we entered the Zaptleh uttered the customary reeting, “Bclam Aletkum!™ to which several volces responded gravely in the same words, > SONR MORZ GLEDARISN was then exchanged between my gulde and the personages on the floor, after which ane of them eolemnly beckoned me to be seated, at the samo tino extending ta me ono of the mouth-pleces, Although I'had nofnclination tosuioke,especially 83 1 hiad as yet had scarcely angthing to eat since morniug, I complied with the invitation, and sat down fn the festive circle.

But it wasa long thas coming, and my soul was beginning to grope IN TUE VALLEY OF DESPAIR before a walter appeared with a tray upon which was aalsh of pllayf, consisting, ns I had learned by previous fnvestigation, of chopped meat and rice. It was not an cpleurian compound, to bo sure, but I managed to do complete Justico to the cook. Aftcr auother whiff “at the narghlleh, I made my salaam to the company in the coffec-room, and retired to the slecplng-chamber nesigned to wme. It was large, square room on the second floor (first floor, according to Europesn computation) open- ing upon s gallery over tho courtyard. Thero waa absolutely no furnlturo fn the spartment oxcept the mattress upon which I was to sleep, and which had evidently been brought Into the room reccutly, a8 it was damp and contained A LIVELY ODOR OF TIN STABLE.
