Assaming that the cross- fng ner Bimuitza {s as successful asthat on the left wing, wemar expect tohearsoon of croealngs at other polnts by which the Turkish Rustchuk and Varna line will be threatened east and west Ly at least 150,000 men. This will force the ‘Turks to wheel round and face the Daoube, O TIHAT 8HUMLA YORMS THIZIN CENTRE, whilst the left rests on Osman Bazar, and the right on Bazardjik. The advance of the Ruaso- Roumaaian Hght wing will paralyze Widdln, and thus Jeave the centre of Bulgaria practically de- nuded of troops in the face of another 90,000 to 100,000 which the Rusaiuus can pour scTues at Turnu-Magurelll. A PRENCIT MILITARY CRITIC, writlng before the cveots at Simnitza were known, suid: “No matter how serfous in ap- pearance the partial attacks which the Russlans may direct agoinst eithor Aank, no matter what 1ine of operations thoy may choose for their forward movement after passing the Danuve, it fa certaln that towards the centrs the maln body of their army will act. Tho success of this mancuvre wonld have for immediate et- fect to cut the Turkish Nno ot defense In two and place the whole of giulguria up to the Bal- kans at the discretton of the Russians.” SURPRISE IN LONDON, The ease with which the Russians crossed the Danube, and the feobie reslstance of the Turke as far as yot kuown, attracted wmuch attention here. Suspicions and suggestions of treachery arorife. Russophile writers, however, 8nd cx- planation [n & conviction that the Turkish ariny Itself has littlo heart In the struggle, sud that the unpald legions und thelr equslly unpaid officers arc not strongly averse to a chapge fn thelr conditlon, knowing it can not be worse. Snould thry be shut up fn their entrenchinents they may reslat with character- {stic obstinacy, but there seems to be an utter absence of that activity which is always the result of heartiucss in a strugglo, and it would not be astonishing to see the whole Turkish force strangely collspse. Thia view is markedly variaot from aceounts of tho Turkish Danube army given by correspondenta within its lines, TiLK TRUTH PROBADLY 18 that the Russians ascertalned whers the Turk- ish line was the weakest through sples and deserters, and took sn fintelligent advantage of such Information. Of course, it is Impossible that the Turks bave an army within strikiog distaucs of overy pofat avallable for crosstog ou & line of nearly three bundred miles. HOW TIIE GNEAT NSWSPAPERS TALK. The eficct lu England of the Russian success has been to renew discussion about British in- terests. Anti-Russian newspapers ilke the Dally Telegraph and Morning Post aro greatly excited, and call for Instant preparation to protect the intereats and honor of the country, which lle under a most diroct and deadly uenace, They fod the Czar's proclamation a revolutlonary mantfesto Indicating a determination to snnex Bulgsria. Tney add this to the reputed futen- tion of Russia to clalm Armenls and the Turkish fron-clad flcet as indemnity and enforee the free passsge of the Dardanellcs, and declare that such changes would rob Eugland of every real rampart for her Eaateru Empire, BUT IT 18 NOTICRABLE that papers of quito & different class are be- einoing to exhibit uneasiness. The Economist calls attcotion to the probability that, if the Dardanelica are to be kopt clused againat the ‘Russtans by force, England wmust do it alone, because other powers aro not sufficlantly inter- ested In that result to justify anticipation of thelr co-operation. The Odaeywer declaros that tho time has arrived when the Government should know itself and be prepared to onforce ita viows when the necessity demauds. ANTI-TUBKIIT PAPERS are very guarded in thelr comments, aod devote, atteution chietly to discussing Austria’s positivn’ a0d attacking the Minlstry for not taking the oppertunity to make a furthor declaration of polley.

At the latter place the brunt of the defense fell on the command of Chefket Pasba, notorfous for partfcipation {n the Bulgarian massacres, and reports say that he greatly dis- tinguishod bimself and contributed largely to Turkish success by his personal prowess.

The Tarks place thelr entiro lossea st 3,000 killed and wounded, which probably Is au under-estimate, but hardly so far out of the way as the Montenegrins clalm,—of over 10,000 Turks killed.

Naw Youxk, July 1—3:50 &. t.—A correspon- dent at Pera confirms the report cabled yester- day that s great battle had occurred between 8tstave aad Nicopalis. Tuckish attlcialaccouuts represent that the Ottoman troops suc- ccasfully resdated the Russlan attack, and repuised them with great slaughter. Every aovallabie man was hurded up ta resist the Russian advance before they could gin a firm footing on Bulgarfan soll, It 18 re- ported that a struggle {s progresaing along the whole line of the Danube. The latest reports (Ssturday) state that the result of tho batile near Bistova is unknown. A correspotdent telegraphs from TURNU-MAGURRLLL under date of Friday es follows: No crossing bas takes pisce here, sithough there were wide- spread reports even in official circles to that effect. Indeed it is not now likely that any men will be sent over at this point. The futentious of tho Rusians to effcct & passage at thls polot has been notarious for the past fortoight. " The Turks, thercfore, conceatrated lsrge num- bers of meu at Nicopolls, thus compelling the Russians to choose another polat. ‘The demonstration at Turuu-Magurell! was made In such force, sud with such preparation, a8 regards boats and wmaterlal for pontoon bridges, that it ‘would have been turned into an sctual attack bad s fafr chance of success offered, Even at the Russfan headquarters (v was uncertan uatfl the last moment which point would be chosen for the real crossing—Simnitsa or Turuu-Ms- guerlil.

A THOXDRRBOLT on Simnitza, on Wedneaday morning, effeetin u landing before the Tarks bad time to secal) thelr forces, N The Russian plan was to make numerous feints at different places withasuflictent force to turn the feints Iuto real attacks st the points that proved weakest, As o consequence, the © ‘Turks were compelled to distribute thefr forces over a great }na of river front, The makine of the bridge at Simplitza was carled ont In the samd manner aa at Ibrail, except that the prep- arations for the constraction was more diflicult, owing to the Inundated condition of the river banks atthat polnt. Thecorrespondent saga: Hurrying from Ibrafl, where I had witnessed the first- passago of the Danube by the Russlans, I went at onceta ‘Turnu-Maguerellf, whero it was expected that the matn crossing would take place. Arriving at Tarnu-Maguerelli at 10 o'clock at night, A STRANGE AND TERRIBELRE 8IGUT met my view. As I came in sight of tho town, 1 could read plafoly by the light of the burning houses of Nicopolis, eltusted on the opposite bank. Several houses standing Inarow wers burning at the eame time, throwing a lurid red glare for miles around, and shooting up pyramids of flame almost to the clonds. The muddy waters of the Danube threw back n dull red light, whilo a strong wind carricd off dense volumes of black smokc. A broad flash of bright white light, resembling a comet, over- hung Turnu-Maguerells, making it almost as light as day. It wes AN ELECTRIC L1GIT uscd by the Rusafana foshow tho positlon of the Turks and to enable them to dircet thelr artillery fire, which waa playing such sad havoe with the doomed city on the opposite shore. It was 8 sight mever 10 be forgotten, The whole valley resounded with the roor of artfllery, The Russlans were firing from three batteries above the town, as it bent on destroying Nikopolls, while the Turks were replying vigorously under tho deluslon that they were thereby preventing a passage of the river at that poiut. In reality, the Russan cannonsde was ONLY A FEINT to keep the attention of the Tarka riveted on Turnu-Magurelll, while the real crossing was belng quictly carried out at Bimnitzn. Tho passage was cffecied with scarcely more difil- culty than at Ibrail, Those who are not In the secret of the Rus- sian plans are now conviuced that the attempt at Tnmo-Magurelll was genuine, and that the Rusalans intended to force 8 passage at that polut. The cunstruction of a high bridgo was commenced, bosts were assembled, and ait other neceseary preparations were carrled on. By these means the Turks wero induced to concentrato o tremendons foree at Nikopolis suflivient to repulse any attempt tho Russlans might make. ‘The Russians are now CONCENTRATING AT SIMNITZA, and are hurrving thelr whole forcu across the tver. To-asy they are dending boats from Turnu-Magurelll to assist In the crossing. ‘Theso boats werg fired upon lncessantly by tne Turkish batteries, but little damage was done. A grest battle ts expected fn the vicinity at Blstova, which will probably bo decisive.
