THE WAR. —-+__—__. Another Treacherous Massacre by the Turks in Bosnia, PRECAUTIONS ON THE DARDANELLES. The Czar Dissatistied with the Slowness of the Campaign. EE OEE SKIRMISHING ON THE DANUBE. The Russian Story of Batoum—The Ques- tion of Ardahan. GLADSTONE IN BIRMINGITAM. [BY CABLE TO THE HERALD.] Lonpon, June 1, 1877. The Turks have evidently made up their minds to return to the good old Moslem hanit of butchering their defenceless enemies and have made a fair beginning in Bosnia. The story sent by the HERALD correspondent of the massacre of the returning Bosnian refugees will do great deal to strengthen the hands of Mr. Glad- Stone fn his crusade against the Turkish policy of the Disraeli Cabinet, ANOTHER MASSACRE IN BOSNIA. The HERALD correspondent at Ragusa telegraphs that a number of the Bosnian refugees in Servia, confiding in the Turkish promise of an amnesty* have crowded the frontier in the hope of once more returning to their homes. As soon as they made their appearance on the frontier of their native province, however, they were seized by the Turks and driven to Derbend. Here they were thrown juto a dungeon and nine of the uonfortu- nate men who had placed faith in “Turkish promises, notwithstanding past experience, were murdered in cold blood. This atro- cious massacre has produced a profound sen- Sation and spread terror throughout Bosnia. Fears ofa general massacre are naturaily entertained, and numerous applications have been made by the Christians to the Turkish officials, but the latter turn a deaf ear to their entreaties, and refuse them protection. The rayahs, despairing of obtaining justice or security for their lives and property from the Turks, are making up their minds to once more seek redress by arms. The population is arming as fast as circumstances will permit, and are looking to Russia for help, . THE CZAR DISSATISFIED. The HERALD correspondent in Vienna telegraphs that it is announced from Warsaw that the Czar is irritated at the slowness manifested in the conduct of the campaign and tue bad nourishment supplied to the troops, He hasordered the mobilization of three more divisions for the Caucasus, where the Circassian insurrection is a source of some anxiety. A convoy of munitions of war for the Russians has been seized by the Austrian authorities ut Lem- berg, in Galicia. SKIRMISHING ON THE DANUBE. From Rustchuk the HERALD correspondent an- nounces that the so-called bombardment of that place, which was recently reported, was a2 mere joke. Afew shells only were exchanged, those or the Russians falling short into the river. The Cossacks are patrolling the northern shore of the Danube in that neighbor- hood. All this is intended to discourage the pperations of bold marauders who have been a source Of no small annoyance to the Russians. The Circassians, with their customary dash, are con- tinually crossing the river tothe Roumanian side for purposes of pillage, and return with prisoners and booty.. The fire is occasionally renewed at TurtukaL It is asserted there, the correspondent adds, that during the bombardment of Widdin the the Roumanians shelled the hospital, killing two patients. A despatch from Ploejesti says:—“Though the rains have ceased the Dannbe is so high, owing to the meliing of the snows in the mountains near Its source, that an inundation is feared near Oltenitza, which would oblige the Russians to re- move their batteries there.” Some bashi-bazouks crossed the Danube between Kalarack and the Jalomitza, They captured four- teen Ronmanian militiamen and cut off the calves of their legs. A Belgrade despatch says:—It is rumored that the Roumanians are bombarding Adakalesi, the casemates of which are under water. FIRING ON THE BRITISH. A telegram from Bucharest says a steam tug at Fiamanda, British property and fy- ing the British fag, was sunk by order of the Russian commanding officer. Consul Mans- deld has addressed a note to the Roumanian goy- ernment requesting an explanation. PRECAUTIONS IN THE DARDANELLES. Tue HERALD correspondent at Pera telegraphs as follows:-—“‘Hitherto ships have been allowed to en- ter the Dardanelles after sunset, although obliged to lie to until morning, Order’ are now issued, however, prohibiting all approach to the straits af ter sunset, thus compelling vessels to remain in the open water until sunrise. Torpedves have recently been placed in the straits, and others will shortly be laid in the baroor of Smyrna.” LOOKING AFTER THE BONDS, Mr. Foster has been charger by the British gov- ernment to negotiate with the holders of Turkish bonds, which are issned on the Security of the Egyptian tribute. He left for the Rast yesterday, going by way of Marseilles, THE RUSSIAN STORY OP BaToUM.

Meantime a de. tachment ascended Kintrisch, and after great aiMeuny establishea a position about four miles from Khat- weben!, thus cutting communication between Batoumn the population of the Kaboloti district.

Aecoraing to intelligence from Bucharest, tno rail. Way Une between Adjud and Marraschetti bas been NEW carried away in seven places, and all the traffic is again suspended for an indefinite time, The troops are obliged to alight and proceed on foot tothe third station eastward from Ploiestii The Grand Duke Nicholas has telegrapbed the Czar asking whether under the circumstances he will postpone his visit, Meanwhile, however, everything ig ordered to be in readiness for his reception on June 6. The health of the troops is still good on the whole, but they are begining to be affected by the weather. A brigade which passed through Ploiesti to-day was followed by @ long train of sick soldiers, It ‘8 stated in Vienna that three army corps have been unable to take up strategic positions vecause of the floods. It 1s announced from Widdin, however, that the Danube is falling. A Bucharest despatch has the following:—*It is un- derstood that a small detachod column, under selected officers, and having widely, outlying objections, will form part of the Russian schome of operations atter crossing the Danube.’’ THE QUESTION OP ALDANAX, A despatch from St. Petersburg says the Turkish government’s announcement of the recapture of ar- dahan is regarded here as untrue, because telegrams from Tiflis, dated to-day, mention no such even. A Constantivople despatch, dated Thursday evening, says the Forte hag not yet received ;official confrma- tion of the recapture of Ardahan trom the General commanding in Armenia. ‘There 18 to be no end to the contradictions, it seems, in the case of this town. ‘The Turkish Foretyn Minister has telegraphed the Porte’s representatives abroad as follows:—‘Ardahin, which was recently occupied by the Russians, has been recaptured by the Ottoman troops.’” A telegram from Berlin says:—Advices received here from St. Petersburg represent that the Turks recovered Ardahan after the Russinns had reduced it to rains, MUKHTAK PACHA SACRIFICED. The Tagblatt, ot Vienna, states that Mukhtar Pacha has been dismissed from bis command and will be court marualed tor representing that he had equipped an army of 66,000 men, whereas he fad only 30,000 at his disposal.

An Alexandria despatch says'—‘Tbe Egyptian trans- port stcamers havo not yet started with the Egyptian contingent of troops for Turkey. ‘The strike of the English engineers, whjch at first dolayed their departure, haa been settled; but the Russian man-vl-war Petropaulovski, carrying twenty 9'y-ton guns, is wating for them in the Mediterranea: A despatch from Paris says Turkish iron-clads aro exe pected at Alexandria on the 4th of Juve to oscort the Egyptian transports. A telegram from Paris says it is agreed that tho Abyssinian question shall be settled according to Gordon Pucha’s propositions. GORTSCHAKOFY AND 118 MASTER, % A Paris correspondent says:—"‘According to a letter from Russia, emanating trom a very trustworthy source, Prince Gortschakoff accompanies the Czar to Pilocjesti solely to prevent Servia from being involved in the war. Gortschakoif fully est- miutes the Capital importance of the attitude Servia ts now*attaining and does not wish to abandon this dell. cate question to purely military management, But there js certainly another motive for the Chancellor's journey, 1t seems probable that Russia will attempt a rapid seizure of Rustchuk and there propose peace alter a signal victory. Gortschakoff of course wishes to be at the Emperors sido should this occur, for it Russia accepts peace on the basis of the reforms prodosed by the Conference, she will probably wish vo act in a thoroughly formal man- ner by placing the peace reforms under the protection of the signataries of the protocol. Despite, however, what I bave just said, tho rumors of peace which people are pleased to circulate are at present altogether premature, ’? Tho Zimes correspondent at Vienna says:—‘‘Tne persecution of SMidhat’s adherents continues, Despite the banisbments opposition to the Palace clique seems to iucrease, being strengthened by the party in the Ministry itself. The Grand Vizier seems to have arrived the conviction that things could = not go .on §=6much longer without leading to a serious crisis. it is by no means certain that the Chamber would allow itself to be sent home without some resistance. The current js so strong that the majority appear inclined to follow the example of those who are too politic to resist it The idea of declaring the Chamber en permanence is already mooted, The Sultan, what with the tear of the possible return of Midhat and on the other hana of a rising or an attempt against his person, seems quite scared and at loss what to do,’? THE PRACR RUMORS. An Orsova despatch gives the following details Concerning the pesce rumors:—It 1s believed by many woll iniormed people at Bucharest that the Russians ure “somewhat anxious 1o negotiate through Berlin for some arrangement that would obviate the necessity of crossing the Danube, baving convincea themselves that the enterprise is fraught with sacrifices, and tat tne result is altogether doubiful It is certain § that ot beadquarters during the past few days the tone has beon auxious and even despondent, It is sigmif- cant that corn contracts have been finally determined only efor a very short period. it is the current impression that the Russians are spinuing out the time, relying upen the chances of achieving great saccess in Asia, Some people go so far ag to say they manifest a‘wish to remain con. tent with the fall of Kars. They would then desire to keep what they had gained in Asia and not cross the Danabe, but leave @ force in Roumanta until reterces framed a treaty with Turkey. Those who «re inclined to place uny credence in these reports maintain that the Rus- sian military and financial resources are not equal to the achievement of the enterprise into which Russia bas planged. There is no enthusiasm In tno Russian ranks. The new army organization is suid not to work satisfactorily, To sum up, I may eay that a talk of peace is certainly in the wind, It 18 said the Grand Duke Nicholas takes # pessimist view of the campaign. 1 have reported what I have been enabicd to learn upon fair authority; that there is some basis for these statements I Jittie doubt, GLADSTONE IN HIRMING TAM, Mr. Gladstone arrived in Birmingham yesterday aud Teceived great ovation, Business was suspended, Ata meeting in tho evening 30,000 persons were pres- ent. Mr, Giadstone made a speech Which consisted of an eloqueny attack ou the Turkish government, but contained the same accusations as on former occasions, He justified popular agitation because the government pursued 4 zipzag policy and were always ready to revert to the policy of supporting Turkey it popular pressure was withrawo, He de, clared that the country entirely sided with tbe liberal party. I! the government disputed the fact, they should dissolve Varliamgnt to disprove | it, Atthoclose of Mr, Gladstone’s speech a resolu- tion was unanimously passed, amid great enthusiasm, declaring that a wi: nd honorable policy would be for England to use ber tafluence tn conjunction with the united authority of the great Powers to exact from Turkey effectual guarantees agajnst maltrent- ment and oppression of Christians, Mr, Gladstone’s reception at the meeting was most enthasiastic.

THE RECENT DEBATE ON THE RELATIONS BE- TWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND SPAIN-~ SENOR COLLANT£LS DEFENDS THE AL¥YONSO GOVERNMENT. Wasuinetox, May 31, 1877. Full particulars have today been received by mail of the lateresting debate that took place !ately in the Spauish Cortes in regard to the United States, to which telegraphic reference was recently made. Sefor Gamozo attacked the foreign policy of the government and the late Minister of Foreign Affairs. Sefior Cale deron y Collantea replied im a speech of great earnestness and power. Ho stated that at the Accession of the present government, between two aud three years ago, the relations of Spain with the United States wero in an extremely critical condition, but dur- ing that tume all the subjects of complaint on the part of the United States had been satisfactorily settled, in- cluding pecuniary indemoification to the officers und crew of the Virginius, the prosecution of Burnel, the pardon of sundry Americans condemned to death for treason to Spain, the restitution of their canfis- | cated proporty and the settlement of various othor private claims, besides two great subjects which bad been for many years fruitiul sources of discord be- tween the two countries—namely, the subject of ex- tradition and, above all, thatof the true construction of the treaty ot 17 In regard to th points Sefior Calderon said:— “The government, during my administration of the Department of Stute, had the glory of conciuding with the United States u treaty of extradition, the best which exists {[n Europe. Moreover, the principal cause of all our complications with the United States was the construction of the treaty of 1795. ‘The Uni- tod States continually charged tbe authorities ot Cuba with violating this treaty, so every) yovernment of Spain was in’ daily terror of receiving information of some imprudent act of the Colonial authorities which would threaten war or involve the necessity of heavy indewnifications such as successive governments of Spain have hud to ay. Now, the Minister who js addressing tho Shamber bas had the houor to sign a protocol already upprovea at Wasbington, in which this long standing controversy bas been determined in a most satisfac- tory manner. I may therefore declare that never were the relations between the United States and Spain more cordial than they are at the present moment.’? Sefor Calderon y Collantes {s at present Minister of Grace and Justice, and the foregoing declarations made by him were confirmed in the samo debate by hig successor in the Ministry of Foreign Affaire, Sefor Silvela, Ihe speech was received by the Cortes with lively manifestations of approval. ‘the protocol referred to was telegraphed in these de- Spatches on the Cth inst.

There is a growing Uncasiness among the republican masses and the organs of the advancea republican party are speaking out with unpleasant fraukuess their views on the policy of MacMahon aud bis reac tionary advisers, The government is seriously alarmod by these manifestations of popular anger, and are making every effurt to curb the violence of the repub- Mean press. It ts not difficult to sve that the repressive measures adopted against the preas are more likely to deepen the resentment of the republicans and extend the area ot discontent than to help the government, This, however, is a truth French statesmen bave never been capable of appreciating. Instead of allow- jog public sentiment that full and free expression which in countries blest with constitutional govern- ment acts ag a satety valve the whole aim of the government of MacMahon 18 to repress every ex- Pression of dissenl, There is every reason to fear ‘aet reactionary councils have obtained a complete ascendancy over the mind of the Marshal-President, and that bis new Ministry is about to enter on the réle of a government de combat, What the result of such policy may be no one can foresee, But there can be bo longer any doubt that this adventurous policy has been determined ou, tor Minister Fortou has suspended from their functions the Mayor of Nemours ard several muyors of the Department of the Jura for signing manifestoes of the Left, Measures will be tuken against the Deputy Mayor of Belfort for the same reason.

The anti-French party in Germany have not been slow to perceive the advantages to be derived from attacking France whiio the angry passions of the two contending parties are aroused to such a pitch that they threaten to swal- low up all sentiment of patriotism. Itis well known that the German successes tn the last war were not a little due to this political fanaticism, which is the bane of France, Yesterday’s Berlin Port had another war arti- cle declaring that no confidence ought to be placed in the professions or intentions of the French Cabinet, and that hopes of peace rest chiefly on the prudence apd sagacity of German statesmen. The article ts fall of insinuations against Count Von Beust, Austrian Ambassador at Loodon, of whose intrignes it gives a circumstantial account It says he recently endeavored to cement an Anglo-Auatro-French alli- ance to be nominally concluded against Rassia and Germany, but in reality against Germany alone, France and Austria were to have attucked Germany, while England would be. loft to doal single-handed with Russia tn the K, The English Cabinet, how- ever, soeing through this plot, it came to nothing, M’MAHON WILL NOT REMIGN.

J, J.
