Lonvon Orrice or Tie Curcaco Trinune, Sauispuny Stazet, W. C., Aug. 11—5 a. m.— Nows from the seat of war is awaited with considerable impationco, Rumors wore flont Inst ovening of ongage- ments at soveral points north of the Balkans, but lator dispatelies reduce them to mero reconnolasancos on tho part of the Russians, probably designed to ascertain whother the Turks aro still resolved on de- fending their positions sbont Plevna. As regards Mehemet All, only vague Information hos at prosont been received, Everything, howevor, tends to show that ho aud Sulcimnn Pasha aro making great efforta to effect a junction by way of Slivno Pass, so as to dislodge tho Russians once for all from Tirnova, and UNITE THE THIEE ADMIES of Mehemet Al, Suleiman, and Osman Posha’s for the purpose of an attack on the bulk of the Ruasian forces. If they succeed in carrying out this, we may expect shortly to hear of a great battle which will decido this yoar's campaign. If the Russians|bring Servia into their oper- ations, their rear will be coverod on that side, and, supported by the Ronmanians and Sorvians, thoy may gain the Sofia military road. The correspondent of the Daily News telegraphs that DEINFORCEMENTS YOR THE RUASIANS, aftor the recont Loftcha and Plovna de- feats, aro now of the grentest importance, and. must take moro time than has boen supposed, and that In consoquonce of this fact tho war cannot bo concluded this year. Great battles will be fought, but only north of the Balkans. The hopo of being ablo to advauco on Adrianople must be post- poned, and tho aim of tho Russian Generals will now be to sweop Bulgaria north of the Balkans cloar of the Turkish armies, ‘The passes of tho Balkans will bo held, a-' very strong fosition being taken up at Kosanlik, ‘The necesaity for thus restricting operations south of the Balkais arlees from the nspoot of affairs north of that range, The correspondent represents the Russians thero as unable to move, They must wait roluforcementa. One hundrod thonsand men are coming, but muat bo waited for, In accordance with this viow, the blow with which Osman Pasha fa threatened cannot be struck, because troops aro not avallablo in numbora sufficient to deliver it, ‘The right flank of the Russian army ig sufficiently protected, but ‘THE MEANS ARW UTTERLY INADEQUATE for renewed offensive ‘operations, Tho Grand Duke Nicholas is in Bulgareni in the rear of intrenched positions; Schackoukoy and Krudener confronting Plevna; Drag- omirof’e division stands between Tirnova and Loftche to hinder the Turkish advaico in the direction of the former important centre, Thus are stopped gaps through which was threstonod the right flank of the Russian communications, * It'is estimated now from 60,000 to 70,000 Turks stand ou the Loftcha-Ployna line, and they will take a deal of beating. IN BULGARIA, BYPECT OF TUR PLEYNA BATTLY. Loxvox, Aug. 10.—A correspondent at Blela says his estimate of the serious effect of the Russian defeat at Plevoa, formed on the battles ficld, is fully borue out by the Russian sppre- lation of It. Tye Russians stand walting for the necessary reluforcements, and are thankful that they are uot assailed fn thelr defensive posltion, ‘The defeat has altered the wholo plan of the campaign for thts year. The Rus- siaus bave virtually abandoned the expectation of pressing thu war successfully acruss the Bal- kans. It will sutlica them if, during the three months still available for dgbting, TUMY CAN SWEEP BULGARIA north of the Balkans clear of Turkish armice. The orders are to withdraw from all trans Balkan positions, This is from uo dirct prea euro of the Turks beyond the Balkans, but because of the risk attending un- supported advances. On this eide of the Balkans the paralysis caused by the Pleyna reverse still endures. A hundred thousand more men ore wanted, and are forth- coming, but will have to be walted for, The first brigade of relnforeements is expected to cross the Danube fn a day or two, It {6 hoped after that A BRIGADE W1Lt, CROSS DAILY, ‘The offensive will doubticss be recommenced before all the reinforcements arc to band, but a large proportion of the: as indispensable, Os- nan Pasha MUST DE STROCK DECISIVELY. At present he can be only watched. The gaps through which the right flank of the Russian communications were ¢threatencil are stopped by Schackoskoy's and Krudence's positions con- ‘fronting Pleyna and Dragomiroff's divislon be- tween Tirnuva and Lovatz. This force is probably sufficient for protectiou, but utterly Inadequate for the renewal of the offensive. It is eatimated now that from 60,000 to 70,000 Turks are on the Lovatz and Plevna line, and they willtske a deal of beating. On the Russfan left flank the Crarewich's army, which Is available for hold- ing the Ine from the Danube to the Balkans, nuinbers about 60,000, and is necessarily atten- uated over the Jong front 69 us to leave no gap for the ‘Turks to creep through. The Turks are probably about the same strength, but, if Mchemet All chooses to take the offensive, he may concentrate at Rustchuk, Rasgrad, and Os- mau Bazar. The Russlans must be ready to face hint everywhere, cunsequently they must remain strictly onthe defensive. TheriverLom still virtually constitutes the line of the Rust- chuk army, but the headquarters of the Twelfth Corps have been moved beyond ft to Kadikol The headquarters of the Czarewich with — the ‘Thirteenth Corps have advanced to Kabaljeva, thus con frouting Rasgrad, while between Osman Bazar and Tirnova the first division stands, with its headquarters at Kosarevac, GEN. ZIMMERMAN [8 STALEMATED, He {s guarding the Dobrudscha, which is not threatened, and he cannot push forward with his 30,000 men, lest his enemies from Varna and Shula should converge upon him, The Rus- slans are beginning SUFFER IN MEALTI,— some corps from hard marching, heat, and fr- regular rations. The principal cause, however, is neglect of sanitary precautions, resulting in the general tafnting of the alr. At Bicla the air {fs thick and heavy with emanations from filtl: and rotting offal. Gen, Ignatici {s still confined to his room with gastric fever. Prince Galatzin is also abed with the same complaint.

If they succeed fn effecting a junction we may expect shortly to hear ofa great battle, which will decite this year's campaign, A Bucharest special states that the Czar re- maine at Bicla, though the Russian army is BEING BTLENGTURNED RAPIDLY. ‘There {s Uttle chance of any serious action for more thana week, The Turks, iustead of act- ing with enerzy aud decision, are bullding more defensive works. .

SUGAR FRAUDS. REPORT OF THE NONTON COMMITTER. Spectat Dispatch to The Tribune, Wasminoton, D.C., Aug. 10.—On the subject of artifcial coloriug the Boston Committee make the following report: In this connection the Committees Lez leave to call your spectal attention tu the very low classification of du- table sugars duriug the last period of fifteen months ending March 81, 3877, a8 compared with the preeeding twelve months, and to add that they consider the sasessing of dutica by classification upon duties standard as unwise and Hable to permit fraud or endanger collustun between samples and importers in order to get the forelgn article coming to this country assesscd at low rates of duty. At the ex- tra seasion of Congress tu be convened {fo Octo- ber, a special act sbould be passed providing that an additional duty of 843 per cent be as- sessed over and above any existing rate of duty on any artificially colored sugara. The Commit- tee also recommend the abolition of the aystem of rating sugars by the duties standard; they are also opposed tu any attempt to flx the value for duty by polarization, and suggest that there should be only one rate for al! raw sugars nut refined. They also believe this mode of classification has led to the uso of -artificial coluring fur the same periods, and this latter practice hasalresdy been resorted to toa very considerable extent,. and will bo largely {n- ervased inthe future unless immediate steps are taken to prevent it. The Committec are in- formed that Jarge contracta are already being made in Europe for beat sugar to be delivered this autumn artificially colored so as to be en- tered and passed at the lowest rates of duty. In order to protect the revenue from this evasion of duty, the Committea recommend that the fixed at frum twu to two aud a half per pound,—no percentage added as at present. ‘The attention of tho Treasury Department has Fepeatedly been called to the alleged fact that the methods of rating sugars imported into this couutry to be refined and re-expurted were different ut different porta of the United States, aud that the rates of drawback allowed under the regulations of the Department were in miauy Instances greater than the actual duty paid on the same sugars when they were en- tered. In order to ascertaln whether reports of this kind are bused on actual facts, to secure an unlformity in methods of rating, and to insure the Government agalnst Joss by paying larger sum in drawbacks on sugar than the actual duties paid on the samo at the tine of iinports-.| tlou, Sceretary Sherman directed the Jay Com- mission in New York, the Custom-Houso Com- misstot in Boston, and @ special Cominoissfon in Baltimore, to make a thorough Investlvation of the matter, and report to him, These Inquiries have now been completed, and the reports arc now made public, — EADS’ JETPITS.
