[BX CABLE TO THE HEBAXJX]
London, June 14, 1877.
The Hebald correspondent in Constan
tinople telegraphs that there is great excite
ment in that city. The Saltan has issued
an irude which literally inaugurates
drafting for military service in its worst
form. All Turkish subjects of whatever
creed, living within the domains of the
empire, are informed that His Majesty may
need all males capable of bearing arms to
resist the enemy and preserve the Ottoman
institutions a I'outrunce. They are there
fore called upon to prepare immediately for
the field.
TUB TCBKISH CABINET A1ABMED.
The Sultun's Cabinet consider the situa
tion very critical. Affairs in Asia are evi
dently unsatisfactory, partly because
Mukhtar Pacha has failed to make arrange
ments to let the government know what is
being done. An extra military council was
held yesterday, at which it was decided to
press the war tax and enforce the irade for
more men and material. The real truth is
probably that the heads of the Wnr Depart
ment were called together and asked if they
could not improve their fighting power.
This may be a preliminary to peace, be
cause poor is the best military talent so far
shown.
COAXING TUB OBEEK FA.TBIA.fcCH.
A significant it<?m is reported from >be
palace. On Tuesday the Patriarch of the
Greeks was invited to visit the Saltan. After
lunch it seems a long conversation was held
in the private divan, during which the Patri
arch promised to use his good offioes to
dissuade the Greeks from any offensive
demonstrations.
THE SULTAN DECORATES THE PATRIABCH.
His Majesty referred to the recent at
tempts at insurrection, and expressed the
opinion that it "was evidently the work of
bad men of other nationalities. Before the
Patriarch left he was decorated with the
Order of Osman the First, which was per
sonally conferred by the Sultan.
TURKISH BUCCBSS AT ABAZLI.
The Hebald correspondent at Constanti
nople telegraphed last night that Parmley
Pacha gained a most important victory on
Sunday last at Abazli, a small village near
Soukoum Kaleh. The character of the fight
is not mentioned.
A BATTLE RAOINO AT KAJIS.
A telegram dated Constantinople, Wednes
day evening, says:?"The Sultan is stay
ing at the Ministry of War, awaiting news
from Kars, where a great battle is progress
ing."
MUKHTAR pacha's POSITION CRITICAL.
Mukhtar Pac.hu is evidently in a most
critical position at Erzeroum, and unless
the Russians are drawn off by some strategy
it seems impossible that the Turkish forces
there can avoid a surrender en masse.
TURKISH COMMUNICATIONS CUT OFF.
The fortress and town of Van are simi
larly situated. The great difficulty is that
the communications arc cut off, as the Rus
sians are guarding every puss and road.
Thus intelligence is not to bo obtained of
what is being done in the different places,
inch as Van, Erzeroum, Ar/.etoum and Ba
touin. ? Several efforts have been made to
restore the the telegraph lines, but all have
failed.
THE SITUATION AT KATOUM.
A Hut on m despatch states that the Rus
sians are pushing the siege works. Rein
forcements are greatly needod; without
relief the Turkish troops there will become
tired out. The Turkish officers are despon
dent.
TORPEDOES FOB THB BOSPHOBUS.
On Tuesday Mastar, general of artillery,
went to the mouth of the Bosphorus, and
issued instructions to commanders of forts
to notify all vessels, whether carrying
troops or provisions, and all naval com
manders, that a complete network of tor
pedoes would bo placed at onoo at the en
trance of the Black Soa, and that the utmost
expedition must be used to get clear of the
channel. The torpedo system there will
probably be in charge of German officers,
many of whom have been employed by the
Ottoman government in constructing them
and in perfecting tbeir destructive power.
TUBKS AND MONTi.NKr.KJN3.
The Hkrald correspondent at Cetteinje
telegraphs that the Turks advanced along
the Duga Puss on Tuesday night. The
Turkish and Montenegrin armies con
fronted each other at Dnbntschka, but up
to eight o'clock yesterday morning the fight
had not been renewed.
SHALL MOKTKNEURO UE CRUSHED?
A Vienna correspondent telegraphs that for some
days past an impression has been growing in Rus
sian circles that the Montenegrin* are not able to
continue to resist the overwhelmingly superior
forces of the Turks, anil the Austrian government
was sounded as to how far it might be disposed to
do something to prevent their being crushed.
N ICS ICS AGAIN.
A special from Vienna, Wednesday, says:?"Sulei
man Pacha started yesterday to re victual Xicsics
fur a year."
A DOUBTFUL RETORT.
An official telegram received in Constantinople
dated June 13. says:?Suileman Pacha has forced the
entrance of the Duga Pas* after a sanguinary battle
and is advancing on Nlcsics. The Montenegrins
are in lull retreat. Suleiman's junction with two
other Turkish corps is expected immediately.
LITTLE HOl'E FOR PRINCE MILAN.
Prince Milan has never been a great tevorlte
at the Russian Court, and even among his own
subjects many influential men are to be
found who dream of a Sclavonic kingdom, with
the Prince of Montenegro at its head. The
weak young Prince of Servla's ambition to wear a
crown evidently has bnt a faint chance of being
gratified. A Vienna correspondent sends the fol
lowing:?"Just at the moment when Prince
Milan has received permission to go to Ploejesti
iulormation comes that Russia has intimated
far more positively than ever before that it
is her will that Servla should keep aloof from the
present war, which cannot but lead to the supno
sltion that what Anally Induced the Czar to accept
the visit may be the wish to remove any doubts of
Servla about what was expected ol her.
ROUMAN1A RISING IX RUSSIAN FAVOR.
The German Prince who riilus Itounianla has a
better prospect than his brother of Servla. A Paris
cormspondent says, according to news from Ploe
jesti, Prince Charles, of Koumanla, lias oirered the
co-operation of the Roumanian army on conditions
which seem Hi priLclple acceptable to the Russian
?tair.
THREATEN I NO THE Hl'SSIAN COMMUNICATIONS.
A despatch irom Vienna sa.vs:?"A Turkish do
tachmcnt, which has entered the Russian district
of Achalzlch, is threatening Russian communica
tion with Ardahan."
Ml'KHTAR'S flying columns.
The XeitP Frele rreatu of Vienna has a special
despatch irom Er/.eroum which says:?"On the
approach of the three flying columns sent by
Mukhtar Pacha against the Russian right wing
the Russians not only evacuated Oltl bnt Pennek,
at the foot of the pass over the ICanly range lead
ing to Ardahan. Both Olti and Pennek were re
occupied by the Turks, who also went In pursuit
ol the Russians."
WHAT DOES THE RUSSIAN RETREAT MEAN?
A Vienna correspondent, referring to the above
despatch, says:?"As this information does not
come froin the ffnmedlute scene of operations it is
difficult to form an opinion as to its accuracy, if
the Russians really retired beyond Penuek without
resistance this would seem to show that there was
only a small force there, aud that the bulk of the
Russian column in still on the Ardahan side of the
Kaniy range. Possibly, alter ali, the Russians, be
fore advancing on K.rzeroutn, will make an eifbrt
to bombard and rednce Kara so as to leave their
rear quite free."''
THE PAY FOR CROSSING THE DAN L I! K.
A Vienna despatch has the following:?"Cer
tain signs point to Thursday or Friday next
as the date fur crossing the Danube.
Just before that operation takes place
It ts expected the Czar will Issue a maaltesta It
is again rumored that Safvet Pacha has re
quested the Sultan to Intrust him with a peace
mission to Ploejesti."
ANOTHER VERSION.
The Berlin National Zeitung says it has received
private intelligence that the Russians intend to
cross the Danube on June J3.
"SWAPPING HOUSES WHILE CROSSING A STREAM. "
quite a number of changes arc being made in the
various Turkish commands. It is announced from
Constantinople that Moustapha Tewflc Pacha has
been appointed commandant of Kars.
A NEW COMMANDER FOR BATOUM.
Dervish Pacha has arrived In Constantinople
from Salonlca, to take commaud oi the liatouiii
division of the Turkish army.
WAS UK A TURKISH Hl'Y ?
A despatch from llerlln says:?A gentleman call
ing himself Huron Knuit, a Hessian nobleman, was
arrested a few days ajro at I'loejestl by tile Rus
sians, and It Is stated that after a short trial the
prisoner was shot
8ION8 OV LIl'K IN CRkTE.
Some days ago It was announced that the Cre
tans, despairing ot obtaining justice at the hands
of the I'orte, hud determined on another appeal to
arm*. A Constantinople despatch now states that
a vessel which was about to discharge a cargo of
lfio barrels of gunpowder at Crete has been cap
tured by Turkish war vessels.
KOKKtliN KKS IN TIIK RUSSIAN SERVICE.
Two of the captains of the Russian torpedo boats
recently sunk at the Sulina mouth of the Danube,
one an Kug.lshman and the other an American,
have been placed on a Turkish vessel at IsmallUand
were expected yesterday at Constantinople.
COt'NT SCHOCTAI-OFK'S INSTRUCTIONS.
A letter from St. Petersburg tithe Vienna Po
litical rurrcsponflencc states that Count Schouva
loir took to St. Petersburg n specification ot British
interests as contained in Mr. Cross' speech in the
ltritisli Parliament. Count Schouvaliifs Instruc
tions on his return to London empowered him to
declare that ltussia had no designs against the Suez
Canal or Kgypt. Ills instructions restricted him to
this declaration.
KAltl. DKltllY'S NOTE TOO CURT.
Nothing is known in M. Petersburg of any seml
ofllclul uote to I .old Derby. Lord Derby's reply to
l'rince GortsehakofTs circular has up to thepiescnt
received no answer, as the Russian Cabinet con
siders it couched in curt and unusual terms. There
Is still, however, a possibility that Husslu will, ou
the occasion of the immediately impending passage
of the Danube, again set iorth her views.
Ht'SSIA TO KKSmY TIIK ROUTE TO INDIA.
A despatch to the Uussiau Telegraphic Airency
states that Russia Is disposed to respect the route
to India, and consequently the neutrality ol the
Suez canal and Egypt. The rest depends on mili

The Herald correspondent at Berlin states that
the Central Committee ol the Jewish Alliance have
resolved to petition the German government pro
testing against the oppression of their brethren in
Koumanla. A similar movement was made some
time ago, but it does not seem to have had much

Charles has enjoyed at the Foreign oilice.

the Bishop of Llmburg. With this deposition there

oisnops who were or.ginally concerned in the
