le THE WAR. Indications of an Harly Advance. ROUMANIA WELCOMING THE CZAR, Meeting Between the Emperor and Prizce Charles AUSTRIA AND ENGLAND. Much Talk of a Peaceable Settlement. ANOTHER GORTSCHAKOFF NOTE. [Bx CaBLE TO THE HEBALD.] Loxpon, June 8, 1877. It is announced from Shumla by a special correspondent of the Henarp that the Russians are expected to cross the Danube at Nicopolis, and the Turks are preparing vigorously for the event by massing troops at the threatened point, This movement of Turkish troops necessitates a partial aban- donment of the quadrilateral formed by Rustchuk, Silistria, Varna and Shumla, and if the main Russian force should cross below Rustchuk they might be ableto isolate the latter place by a rapid forward move- ment and seizing the railway at some point between Rustchuk and Shumla. READY AT WIDDIN. It appears to be evident that preparations are in puogress for the passage of the river at several points. A Widdin despatch, dated Thursday evening, says the Russians con- tinue the concentration bf pontoon. trains. A great force of artillery has arrived and crossing the river, it is believed, will be at- tempted immediately. AUSTRIA DECLINES AN ENGLISH ALLIANCE, The Hzraxp correspondent in Vienna re- ports that the Fremdenblatt of that city states that Count Andrassy lately received over- tures from England for an alliance against Russia, and that he showed himself un- favorable to the proposal because of its con- nection with the policy which Austria has adopted toward the German Empire. Many rumors haye of late been circulated regard- ing an Anglo-Austrian alliance, but they have emanated chiefly from Berlin. This is the first instance of «direct statement on the subject which has been made by the Vienna press. THE EMPEROR AT PLOEJESTI. The Henatp correspondent with the Rus- sian headquarters at Ploejesti sends an ac- count of the reception of the Czar Alexandér in that town. Two hundred staff officers were present in their brilliant uniforms, and a number of distinguished military and diplomatic personages. Among them were Generals Ignatieff, Galitzin and Wittgen- stein, and the military attachés of France, Austria, Germany, Sweden and Denmark. WELCOMING THE CZAR, The railway station was beautifully deco. rated with flags, and the Christian cross was prominently displayed. ‘The ceremony of welcoming the Czar was gone through in & most imposing manner, and the old cus- tom of partaking of bread and salt was car- ried out by a crowd of ladies, assisted by twelve young girls dressed in the national costume of red, embroidered with gold. MUCH ENTHUSIASM, After this formal welcome the Emperor felicitated the Bulgarian regiments which were paraded before him on their soldierly appearance and then got into his carriage and drove off, followed by his retinue. The crowd sent up vigorous hurrahs, bouquets were thrown from the windows as the im- perial cortége passed, and a general féte was observed throughout the city. A FRIENDLY VISIT. The Czar and Prince Charles of Roumania had a conference at Ploejesti yesterday. The Emperor will visit Prince Charles at Bucharest on Saturday. Great preparations are being made for his reception. DECLARATION OF MARTIAL LAW. Russo-Roumanian convention and the con- stitution of the, country. UNPLEASANT RELATIONS. ‘The Grand Duke Nicholas manifested his displeasure at the refusal by taking no notice of Prime Minister Bratiano’ and M. Cogal- niceano, Foreign Minister, when they went to meet him on the occasion of his last visit to Bucharest. The Roumanian government has probably compromised by consenting to proclaim a state of siege, which would permit the exceptional measures desired by the Russians. In other respects matters do not appear to be going quite smoothly. The Russians are com- plaining of the ill will and dilatoriness of the Roumanian authorities, and the latter of the offensive and almost brutal behavior of the Russian officers. SACKING OF A GREEK MONASTERY. The Circassian irregulars in the Turkish | service have made ao raid on a Greek monastery at Rangave in Thessaly and pil- laged it, They carried off everything of value in the institution and completed the outrage by killing the monks who fell into their hands. This outrage will fan the flame of Greek anger against Turkey and strengthen the hands of the war party at Athens, which is trying to force the govern- ments to immediate hostilities, so that Epirus and Thessaly may be wrested from the Porte while the Ottoman troops are en- gaged defending the northern and Asiatic frontiers of the Empire. OUTRAGES ON THE JEWS. The Hxnatp correspondent in Vienna tel- egraphs that the report recently published of the plundering of a number of Jews by a Roumanian mob at Dorobani is fully con- firmed. The rabble was led by a man named Lundonner, and they acted the most outrageous manner. They en- tered the dwellings of 150 Jewish families and pillaged everything they could lay their hands on, using violence wherever re- sistance was offered. Over 90,000 ducats were stolen, eleven people were murdered and twenty-four wounded. This outrage has naturally aroused considerable indig- nation, and the Roumanian government will probably be forced to inflict severe and speedy punishment on the perpetrators. THE WAR IN THE COULISSES. The Henatp Vienna correspondent also confirms the report of the defeat of the Turks at Maljat by the Montenegrins. The fighting was of the most desperate kind, the in Turkish force being immensely superior in numbers to the Montenegrins, but the ad- vantage of position was with the latter, and they fought with wohderful bravery. The 'furkish loss was. very heavy and the victory of the Montenegrins decisive," STILL ANOTHER ACCOUNT. From the Herzegovina side the news 18 that Suleiman Pacha, after taking Kristac [(Krstaz (%)} sent Ali Pacha to relieve and provision Piva before he (Suleiman) attempted to force the Duga Pass, A Reuter telegram s‘tates that Piva has been re- victualled. A special to the Times from Ostrok shows that the fighting at Kristac was very san- guinary, the Montenegrin losses being reported at 600 killed and wounded on Monday night and 1,200 Turks killed. Fifty officers’ sabres are re- ported to have been bronght in. DEFEAT OF THE TURKS IN MONTENEGRO. The consis at Ragusa have information that the Turks have been defeated in an engagement on the southern irontier. Fighting continues in the vicinity of the Duga Pass. A VICTORY FOR THE TURKS, Intelligence has been received at Zara from ao special source that the Montenegrins have been defeated in the Duga Pass, with heavy loss, The revictualling of Nicsics will probabiy be eifected soon. PEACE PROSPECTS. The arrival of Sabdoullah Bey, the new Turkish Ambassador to Berlin, who leaves Constantinople to-morrow, is looked forward to as an event of importance, for it is believed that the German government will, with the concurrence of England, advise Turkey to conclude peace as soon as possible, Russia having already informed the Cabinets of London; Vienna and Berlin that she would agree to conclude peace on the basis of the Protocol, accepting concession of territory in Asia Minor instead of indemnity. THE GORTSCHAKOFF NOTE. The Times’ Paris correspondent states that the communication which Count Schouvaloi brings to London is not & note in a diplomatic sense, but a letter from Prince Gortschakoff in reply tu the letter of Lord Derby which Count Schouvaloi took with him to St. Petersburg. In his letter Lord Derby drew the attention of Russia to various points where English interests would be affected if Rus- sian action extended so far, They were men- The Henarp correspondent at Bucharest | tioned in Mr. Cross’ speech in Parliament, and announces that thirty-three districts of Roumania have been placed under martial law. ‘his measure has been adopted in consequence of a number of Turkish spies having been discovered, and the Roumanian authorities were unable to deal with them properly, owing to the fact that the civil law does not allow of capital punishment. ‘These spies can now be tried by court mar- tial and summarily punished. TH REASONS. Several specials confirm this report, The Russian police, owing to the reputation of Roumania as a gathering place for Poles and other turbulent characters, deemed it neces- sary to take even more than usually severe precautions for the safety of the Czar, LES MOUCHARDS, As well as sending a host of secret police they demanded the unlimited right of ar- The Rou- mmanian government refused to grant this resting suspicious individuals. are the Suez Canal and Egypt, Constantinople, the Dardanelles and the Persian Gull, NO INTERPERENCE, The Prince’s letter successively takes up these points, and explains that Russia does not mean to interfere wit any one of them, Prince Gortscha- kof acknowledges tne great international and ‘com. mercial importance of the Suez Canal, und gives | the most positive assurances that Russia does not intend in any way to touch tt. Rud#ta, indeed, thinks herself entitled, as a matter of right, to carry the war into Egypt, but explains that any action in that direction has never been even taken into consideration, This is even more the case as regards the Persian Guif. THE DARDANELLES. Russia thinks so important « maritime passage as the Dardanelles must always be regulated by in- ternational agreement, and not by one Power lone, She disclaims any intentions of acquiring Constantinople, though at the same time she could not consent to its possession by any other Christian Power. AN IMPORTANT OMISSION. The communication is silent ag regards any tem- porary occupation of Constantinople winch may be- because it was a direct violation both of the | come necessary and ensue in the course of Kussian military achievements. The letter goes on to. pay that Russia has rétiafied trae’ to Ker programme in aiming solely at improving the condition of the Christians in Turkey, which can only be done by coercing the Porte. THE TOLE FOR MAKING TERMS, As soon as Russia has achieved this she will fall back on the resolutions of the Constantinople Con- ference and contend for such guarantees as will insure the efficacy of the reforms, asking the Powers to take up the thread where it was broken by the dissolution of the Conference. RUSSIAN INTENTIONS, A semi-oficial telegram from st. Petersburg states that the Russian Ambasssdors to London, Berlin and Vienna, on their return to their posts, will be able to give assurances that Russia does Not aim at the political cransformation of the map, of the East.” Nothing is further removed, from her intentions than to cause jresh European complica- tions, Russia’ will oppose the entry of revolutiondty, insurrections {nto the war, and also endeavor,’ in the case of Servia, to prevent the participation of vassal and neighboring States. ; A special to the News from rail says Prince Gortschakof looks very ili and is a mere ghost of himself, It is thought he will not live long. RUSSIA AND THE BLACK SEA BLOCKADE. An Odessa correspondent writes that there is no longer any fear there of the Turkish fleet. Con- fidence has been compictely restored. Indeed the Russian government now refuses to acknowledge the blockade, and proposes to resume the running of steamers between Odessa and Kherson and Odessa and Nicolaien, THE TURKS IN ASIA, The following is the Turkish account of the position of affairs in Asia Minor on the morning of the 6th of June:—Mukhtar Pacha’s headquarters, with nine battalions, were at Koprikos. ‘The Turkish right, consisting of twenty battalions, was at Delibaba. The Turkish left wing, sixteen bat- talions, was at Gurdji and Boggaze, about six hours’ march from Erzeroum, (The same ac- count only assigns four batteries of artillery to these forty-tive battalions, which seems incredible, though it has been repeatedly stated trom various sources that the Turks in Asia Minor were almost destitute of artillery.) WHE RUSSIAN POSITION. This report places the main body of the Russian right wing at Olti, with an advanced guard near Nariman, and the Russian centre at Soghanit Dagh. The Russian leit has suspended its forward movement. A Russian detached column 18 ap- proaching Van and has reached the bridge of Bon- dimahou, twenty miles from Van. A GENERSL DENIAL. + The Turkish Ambassador at Paris telegraphed to Constantinople, and received the following from Safvet Pacha:—‘It 1s not true that the situation of our army is precarious, nor that Kars is invested, nor that Moussa Pacha’s cavalry was destroyed.’” Yet the Turkish censor permitted these stories to be telegraphed to the London papers! SERVIA TO BE NEUTRAL, It is said that the Servian General Protich, who has just returned to Belgrade from a mission to Vienna, has given assurances there that Servia wiil observe the strictest neutrality in the hope that Austria and Russia will when peace is con- ciuded protect Servian Interests, MORE TURKISH BUTCHERIES. Horrible Turkish outrages are reported, particu- larly from Novi Bazar, Old Servla. The Servians are mnch excited. THE SUEZ CANAL. The Porte has taken measures to avoid any con- flict in the Suez Canal. Navigation on the canal will be free to all vessels except Russia. TURKISH =FINANCES, In the Turkish Chamber of Deputies on Wednes- aay the Finance Minister demanded a crgdit of five million Turkish pounds, The Minister stated that the negotiations Jor a foreign loan nad not had any resnit yet. The Chamber appointed a committee to examine the Minister's demand. It is proposed to levy an internal loan. RUSSIAN NAVAL MOVEMENTS. Tne Russian frigates Svetlana, from New York, and Petropawlovski, from the Mediterrenean, have arrived at Brest. WAR NOTES. ‘The statement published in the Vienna Deutsch Zeitung on June 6 that an Italian corvette had come to grief in the Dardanelles by striking a torpedo is untrue. It is stated in Constantinople that the Porte is about to seud a note to Athens relative to the Greek armaments, FLETCHER TO BE HANGED. [px TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.)

A Moderate Programme of Resistance [BX CABLE TO THE HERALD.] Lonpox, June 8, 1877. The HERALD correspondent at Queenstown teie- graphs that the Pope's Jubilee was celebrated in Cork last night with great ¢elat. The town was brilliantly iiuminated, long proc jons paraded the streets, carrying all kinds of church standards and Papat embiems, headed by bands of music, and special services were held in the churches. Re- ports \from all parts of Ireland have the same complexion. A number of congratulatory despatches were sent to the Pope, rejvicing in the providential prolongation of his life und promising increased devotion to the Holy See. Many presents were also sent to Rome. Everything passed off un- expectedly quiet. MORE PILGRIMS AT THR VATICAN.

H THE JUBILER RECEIPTS, Tho receipts ofthe Vatican from the Popo’s Jubilee were 6,550,000 lire (about $1,285, 50u) in geld, exclusive of valuable presents.

It was de- cided that M, Gambetta, at the rooponing of the Cham- ber, should moved an interpellation on the part of the Left; but that, contrary to the opinion of M. Gambetta nimself and M. Thiers, be should in from arraigaing the action of President MucMahon, whose irresponsibility should be fully admitted.

THE TICHBORNE CLAIMANT. 4 INQUIRY FOR THE SCHOONER OSPREY, WHICH 18 ALLEGED TO HAVE PICKED UP ORTON ADRIFT IN THE ATLANTIC. San Francisco, June 7, 1877. A few days ago the Call published an advertisement asking the captain, officers or crew of the schooner Osprey to communicate with Gray & Haven, aitor- neys. This morning the Call printed a column article to the eflect that the schooner Osprey referred to was the schooner by which @rion, the Tichborne claimant, said be was picked up while he was adriit in a boat in the Atlautic Ocean, and that Captain Mitchell Owens | was in the city and bad responded to the advertise- ment. Also that he had the log- Loox of the vessel in bis possession, which was expected to furnish the missing link in the claimant’s evidence. Furtber inquiry shows that the story sacks authenticity, Mr. Gray, of ‘the above legal firm, States that somo months ago at the request of the Secretary of the Tichborne Release Association he em- Ployed a man named F. 1. Goraon to search for traces q! the Osprey and her captain, After a while Gordon reported that he had found Captain Mitebell Owens, who bad the log book. Mr, Gray wax ut that umo surveyor of this port, und, being pressed with business and baving full contidence in Gordon, be reported tho information tuus received to the secretary of the asso- ciation, In reply he received a letier euclosing @ check for $100, asking him to coutinue tho investixa- tion, and if possible obtain possession of the log book and induce Captain Owens to go to England to testily. DEFKCTION OF GORDON. At this point Gordon intimated that (he reward was ridiculously small for the service pertormed und d clined to bave anything further to do with the matter, Mr. Gray expressed the opinion that Gordon is hulding buck fora high bid for his knowledge, but 18 seems equally probable that Gordon’s whole’ story isa job. No one seoms to kuow the whereabouts of Captain Owens, though 1 18 given out that he has gone to ictoria, 13 THERE A MANUPACTURED LOG? AS to the schooner Osprey, it is claimed that the log alleged to bo in the Captain’s possessiun shows She arrived here in 1853 und sailed eat! in 1854 for some Atlunt'c port, thence to Mel- bourne, during which trip he rescued Tichborne. | She is stated by the Secretary of the association to have been an American three-masted schoover of about four hundred or five hun irod tons burden, ‘The Cus- tom House records of that year bave been’ destroyed by tire, but the records of the Merehant’s Exchange, which ure believed to be full and trustworthy, show that the only onc at all answering ber description trading to this port was the British three musted schooner Osprey, Captain Griggs, which was here in the spring of 1562, not returning until 1858, She was @ small craft of only 149 tons, Mr. Gray has never seen Captain Owens, aud the advertisement was Signed to remedy the defection of Gurdon, Tho inquiry 4s still progressing, SOUTH CAROLINA.

MISSOURI TRAIN WRECKERS. PUBLIC INDIGNATION AGAINST THE MURDEROUS MISCREANTS—RAPID TRANSIT TO THE GAL- LOWS DEMANDED. Sr. Louis, June 7, 1877.

A very strovg und somewhat demonstrative feeling ogainst the prisoners by the citizens of Kichland seems to b been the reason for the chavye of venue, It these men are shown to have been reully engaged in the dia- volical deed with which they aro charged tt is probable that a special term of the Circuit Court will bo called, 4 special grand jury impanelied aud indictments tound at once, the men tried and sentenced and executed with the least possible delay.
