Special to Enquirer-Sun] London, Jane 3,—On the Dannbe the liassians have at last ooonpied the ohief positions and their lines extend from Ga- latz to Kaiafat, bat the formidable river bars their way, and until the stream re turns to its normal summer level, it will be perilous if not physically impossible, to take the army aoross. It is now hardly possible that the ltussians can eiecnte the great military operation for the next three weeks. They may eome to olose quarters with the Turkish armies about the begin ning of July, bo that the oampaign will probably be prosecuted under the greatest heats ef summer. The region of the lower Danube is terribly unhealthy for strangers, so it may be presumed the Hussions will endeavor to traverse with all celerity the most unhealthy districts. These troops will fare worst whioh have to sit down be" fore a fortress or guard a strong plaee in the chain of communications, as an a'rmy in movemeut will generally keep health better than garrison or investing forces. The character and duration of the straggle in Bulgaria are the subjeet of much speculation, particularly in Germa ny and Austria, where every offioer seems to have madehis own particular study of the oampaign. The general tenor of these oritioisma is adverse to the Turks, not from any doubt that they will make a good fight and even infliot serious re pulses upon their enemy, but from the prepossession that the superiority in num bers, effioienoy of organization and stra tegical ability are on the side of the liassians. There are 240,000 Russians in position on the Danube, without counting the Roumanians or reserves that are be ing brought forward, who amount to G0,- 000. There are 80,000 men east of Ibrail and 20,000 with considerable reserve at Belgrade, which is the point of support for this part of the line. WORKS AT BENI AND IBRAIL. The strength and position of the workB at Reni and Ibrail indioate that they are defensive and not offensive, the precau tions taken being directed against an attaok by the Turkish fleet, and to pre- ’ vent the passage of the river by the Turks. At Ibrail there are three batte ries, one west of the town sweeping the Dannbe with four twelve pounders, and two guns of large calibre up to the point formed by the Uatchin ohannel, and two east of the town, raking the Uatchin channel, one of wbieh is armed with four guns of position and four howitzers, and the other with eight pieces of still larger oalibre, and the two mortare—fromwhiob projectiles are said to have reached Matohin. There is a fourth battery of light guns ou the island opposite Uatchin from Ibrail, np to tbe lines of Bucharest and Oltenitiza. CONCENTRATION BETWEEN GUIROEVO AND BUCHAREST. At Buoharest and Guirgevo, there are no tToops exoept a number requisite to guard against a possible surprise; but be tween BuobareBt and Guirgevo the con centration is on a large soale. The forces are in three campe, eaoh containing 30, 000 men to whioh must be added another 10.000 at Guirgevo. Thus there are 100, 000 men now oonoentrated on the Buchar est and Guirgevo line along the railway, who may be direoted either against the line of Rutsohuk and Turtukai orRatsohuk and Sistova. On the two it is believed the latter will bo chosen and that the demonatration at Oltenitza is merely a feint. The SECOND CONCENTRATION is on both Bides of the river. Aluta, east of the river, where there are sixty thous and men in two camps, both on tbe bigb road to Turnu Uagaereli. West of tbe Alnta, are fonr camps, representing about 80.000 men. This may be regarded as tbe centre of the line; farther west on the line of Kaiafat and Turneiverio, last Booounts, stated the number of Russians to be over 40,000. THE TURKISH ARMY ON THE ASIATIC SIDE appear to have been deplorably neglected, The troops are worse disciplined, worse •quipped and provided than those on the Danube, but tbe nature of the warfare in Asia, to some degree, makes deficiencies of the armies less vita!. The oampaign will be one in whioh atrategy will be of leaa and hard fighting of more importance. Even irregular troops may be able to do eervioe in some positions which it iB in the power of Uokhtar Pasha to defend. RUSSIAN ADVANCE IN ASIA. The Russian right wing has advanced from Ardahan via Urut to Peunik, fifteen miles north of Bardez. Of tbe oentre we have no reliable information ; but it has been reported that they have taken both Deiimuaa and Getschevan. Aooording to another account these places are being attacked by detaobmenta, while the main fores is following the northern road of the Soghanla range. At all eventa the right |Md oentre are wall down towards posi tions from whioh attack could be made on Unkbtar Pasha; but the left wiog has not yet advanced far enough to participate in a combined movement. This delay is, to a great extent, in consequence of difficul ties of the country through which the left wing is marching. All supplies have to be drawn from Eiivan, from which place tbe only easy road leads through Persian territory, the other routes being moun tain passes. SLOW PROGRESS. If the battle whioh is to deoide the fate of Erzeroum is not fonght nntil the Eriv- an column has forced the Turkish posi tions to Toprak Kaleb, and is within sup porting distanoe of the other oolumus, progress is likely to be aa heretofore— very slow. It is not impossible, however, that the right and centre with the aid of a force from Batoum, operating on the Ohornok river, may attaok Unhktar Pasha from the direotion of Olti and Saghauln, provided Mnbkta waits to be attacked. TURKS REPORTED FALLING BAOK IN ASIA. The latest news of him, via Constanti nople, represents that he was falling back from the Bordez and Erzeronm positions. UNRELIABLE INTELLIGENCE. It is to be remarked, however, that news from Constantinople, whether fav orable or nnfavorable to the Turks, is peculiarly untrustworthy. Thus we had last week the announcements that the Russians had occupied Van and Olti, both of whioh were false, and probably tbe re sult of a panie just as tbe reiterated story of the reoapture of Ardahan, was proba bly tbe tesuit of the blundering design on the part of the Government to appease the populace of Constantinople. Ou tbe other band the war news made public by the Russian Government is generally of no importance whatever, or several days behind time. CZAR LEAVES FOR THE DANUBE. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] St. Petersburg, Juno 3.—The Czar Czarowitoh and Grand Duke Sergius left for the Danube Saturday at midnight. TURKISH PARTIES. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] London, June 4.—A Reuter's dispatch from Syra says tho Turks lack good com manders. Redif Pasha, Minister of War, and Mohamed Damad Pasha," Marshal of tbe Police and brother-in-law of the Sul tan, represent the war party; Edham and Safaet Pashas, the Grand Vizier and Minister of Foreign Affairs represent Ihe party whioh will be willing to agree to mediation after a deoisivo engagement has been fought. LITTLE FIGHT NEAR ARDAHAN. Special to the Enquirer-Stm.] Tiflis, June 2.—Tbo Russian General Kommroff, commanding at Ardahan, on tbe 30th of May, reconnoitered beyond Pennek and Olli. The Turkish cavalry under Moussa Pasha have been defeated, and dispersed near Beobrnchef. Tbe Russians captured two mountain gmip, four ammunition wagons and two stand ards. The Russian loss was 7 killed and 30 wounded. The Tnrks left 83 dead on the field. TURKS BETBEAT AND KARS COMPLETELY IN VESTED. Erzeroum, June 3.—During tbe night of May 29tb, tbe Russians defeated and ronted Mouse Pasha’s Circassians at Bek- li Ahmed, near Kars. Bokli Ahmed was burned. Kars is amply provisioned, but as a precautionary measnre, tbe garrison has been pnt on half rations. The vanguard of the Russian right wing bas appeared before Olti. The Turks are retreating from Olti. A detachment of the Russian centre has reached Soghgulu. Mukhtar Pasha's position at Savin is thus rendered untenable, aa the Russians oould turn bis flank via Getschevan. Kars is completely invested. Tele- graphio communication ceased two days ago. . Tbe detachments of Kusakiliasa and Toprakkaleh are falling baok unpon Deli' baba, before the advanoa of the Russian left wing. A detachment from Van, to re-in- foroe Mubktar Fasba, is ezpected at Has- san Kaleb. A detachment from tbe Rus sian centre is marohing to interoept it. The weather is fine. AUSTRIA’S DEMAND COMPLIED WITH. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] London, Jane 3.—A Reuter's telegram from Constantinople says Austria recently sent a note to the Porte demanding a written declaration that the restrictions in navigation on tbe Dannbe should not last a day longer than the war, or be inoreas ed or form a precedent. The Porte and Russia have both sent the declaration re quired. TURKISH LEGIDLATION. The Chamber of Deputies have voted in favor of tbe press bureau, and of ma king an inquiry into extraordinary expen ditures. [RUSSIANS STILL ADVANCING. A Reuter’s dispatch from Erzeroum says it is confirmed that scouts belonging to tbe Russian centre oolnmn patrol as far as Bogbautus mountains. Tbe Turkish headqnarters have fallen back on Henpri- koi. Tbe vanguard of the Russian right wing bas passed Olti and Kizil Kilissa. RUSSIAN COLUMNS NEAR ERZEROUM —TURKS IN A GRAVE POSITION. A Reuter's Constantinople dispatch states tbe arrival of (be Russian forces at Sogbanln and Kizil Kilissa brings two strong Russian columns within six hours march of Erzoronm. A later dispatch save intelligence bas been received that Mukhtar Pasha is fall ing baok ou Seaim. Tbe army is consid ered to be in a grave position. LITTLE WALLACBIA NEUTRAL. A cable dispatch says it is now known that on demand of Austria Little Wall- aohia will be considered neutral ground. FIGHT IN MONTENEGBO. London, June 4,—A dispatoh to the Times from Danilograd states the bulk of the Turkish forees are at Podgoritsa. About fifteen battalions have advanced to Spuz, probably with tbe intention of at tacking Sogana. Bnliman Pasha, Turkish commander in Herzegovina, has received considerable reinforoementa. A hard fight is expected at Krustaz. Four hun dred and fifty insurgents and Montene grins attacked the village of Stozer on tbe 31st May and destroyed the village. Turkish loss 118 regulars and 30 irregu lars killed and 19 wounded. Prinoe of Montenegro has gone to the Dags Pass. TERRIBLE MASSAOBB OF CIRCASSIANS. London, June 4.—It is stated the Rus sians lost 3,000 in the reoent attaok on Kars. The correspondent of the Daily Telegraph givea the following: Ebzbboum, June 2. I have to record the moat terrible event of tho present war. Two nights ago 40,. 000 CiroasBian oavalry, commanded by Mousha Pasha, were ordered to proceed toward Kars entirsly unsupported by in fantry or artillery. They rested for the uight at Bekl Ahmed. The Russians se- oretly organized a powerful force and da ring tho night surrounded and surprised the village in wbiob the Circassians had baited. Only about 5 per cent, of the en tire force of 40,000 Circassians esoaped in tbe carnage which followed. MoaBha Pa sha himself is among the missing. The Circassians fought desperately and no quarter was given. OONSPIBACY IN SBBVIA. A conspiracy in Servia againat Milan is discovered, and many arrests have fol lowed. CZAR AT*BUCHAREST. Bucharest, June 3.—The Czar and Czarowitoh and Grand Duke Vladimer have arrived here. The reception by the public was rospeotful, not oordial. RUSSIAN PROGRAMME. Berlin, June 4.—It is reported from Vienna that tbe Russian programme on tbe conclusion of peaoe will be self-gov ernment for Bosnia, Horzegonina, Bul garia, aud tbe Christian < of Lebaum, a European commission of Central Euro pean garrisons for sometime, and the ces sion of teiri'ory in Armenia. RUSSIAN MONITORS FORCE DANUBE. London, June 4.—The Times Bays tbe report that Russian monitors had anoaeed- ed in foroing the Sulina month of the Dannbe iB unconfirmed. There may, therefore, be eome inaccuracy. It seems too much to suppose the Turks left the Sulina mouth unguarded. Some of tbe flat-bottomed Russian monitors whioh are supposed to be in readiDess at Niooalieff may have made their way down and suc ceeded iu passing over the bar. TURKS IN ASIA PREPARING TO RESIST AD' VANCING RUSSIANS. Constantinople, June 4.—Intelligence is received here that Mukhtar Pasha has established his headquarters at Henprikay, about thirty miles east of Erzeroum, for tbe purpose of barring the advanoe of the Russian’s left wing from Tropak Kaleb Ishmail Hokki,commandant at Erzeroum, has taking a position near Kizil Kelisaa, between Dardez and the Boghonli Pass, to meet the Russian oentre and right, advanoiug via Soghonlt and Olti. TURKS TO ATTACK KAI.AFAT. London, June 4.—The daily Telegraph's Buoharest dispatch says information re ceived by this Government leads to the belief that Osman Pasha intends attack ing Kaiafat in force. RUSSIANS can't CROSS FOB FOUR WEEKS. London, Jane 4.—The daily News has a Bucharest dispatoh, saying tho Danube is still impassable. Rarely bas Ibe water risen so high at this season, and this merely with rains. The snow water from Bavaria and the Garpathain mountains halfstill to eome, and experts estimate that it will scarcely be possible to oroaa for four weeks. A GROSS EXAGGERATION. London, June 4.—The daily Tele graph's story of the destruction of Mon- sia Pasha’s Circassians is a gross exagger ation. Tbe Russian offioial account says the Circassians wero dispersed, losing eighty-three killed. RUSSIAN IDEAS OF PEACE. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] Bbusselb, June 3.—LeNord the Russian organ, publishes a letter from St. Peters burg which says, if after crossing the Danube, Russia is able to conolude a peaoe, aud at tbe same time realize her programme, aud if tbe Powers adopt to ward Tuikey an attitude suffloieutly firm to eomplete the lesson received from tbe arms of Russia, then an equitable and dignified peace might be arranged, and the necessity of pushing tbe war to ex trainee be avoided. CORRECTION. Tbe dispatch from Bucharest reoeived by cablo, late Sunday night, announcing the arrival there of tbe Czar and Czaro- witcb, was incorrectly translated. It was the Grand Duke Nicholas and bis son who arrived there, and were respectfully but not cordially received by the public. TURKS CLAIM SUCCESS. Special lo Enquirer-Sun.] Constantinople, June 4.—Tbe Tnrks claim they have driven the Russians from the neighborhood of Sukum Kale, thirty hours' march in the direction of Mount Elbruuz. ENGLAND.

The Queen has given orders to the Lord Chamberlain to waive tbe usual pro- sentation ceremonies out of regard to the nation’s guest and extend to tbe General and Mrs. Grant invitation to ail the Court entertainments.

After shading to Motley’s death, Stanley said that Gen, Grant has just laid down the oeptre of the American Commonwealth, after hav ing, by military powers, still more by generous treatment of comrades in vioto- ry aud enemies in defeat, restored unity to a great and divided people.

EXCITEMENT OVER THE ARREaT OF THE PRES IDENT OF PARIS COUNCIL. Paris, June 4.—Tbe exoitement in oon- st qncnco of tbe arresc of M. Duverdier, President of the Monioipal Council, is great. It is quite legal, but moat unu anal to arrest people for offences by writiug or speech. Tbe offenders in this way are generally left at liberty till trial, even without bail. In this case bail was refused. M. Duverdier denies the charges against him. The impression produoed is bad, as tbe prisoner is popular with the lower classes. He is a man of education and independdht means. He is oharged with insulting Marshal MaoMabon and ineiting eivil war and assassination. PEBO. ENGLISH VESSELS FIOHT A PERUVIAN MONI TOR-ESCAPE AND CAPTURE. London, June 4.—Tho following bas been reoeived at the Admiralty from the commander-in-chief of tbe Pacifio sta tion : Iquique, June 1.—The Peruvian rebel turret ship Hussear committed piratieal acts agaiDst British subjects.

Ho Opposition. Philadelphia, June 4.—There is no opposition to the general rednotion of the wages of the Pennsylvania Road. Special to Enquirer Sun.] San Fbanciboo, Jane 4.—Capt. Waddell and Parser Jerotn, of the steamer City of San Franeiseo, Moses H. Sargent, of Bos ton, and Kingsland Sutton, of New York, passengers, arrivtd by train to-day from San Diego. The evening papers publish an interview giving further particulars of the disaster. Tbe oaptain and purser are on- willing to make statements until tbe former has submitted his reports to the agents of tho oompany. The offioere avoid giving theories oonoerntng tbe rook on whioh the Bteamer struck. The pes- sengeis say that deep water is all aronnd. The Mexiean gun boat offloers say they knew nothing of it before the shook when the ship struck, which was of about thirty seoonds duration. In a few minutes after striking, the boats were oleared away without ooufusiou, and tbe passengers seated in them ready for lowering. Fall steam was pnt on the ship, and she grounded about four miles from shore. Tbe boats were instantly lowered end pulled for tbo beaeh. On lauding, out of nine boats, only one escaped upsetting, ns tho surf was combing twelve or fifteen feet bigb, and when it struck tbe boats it oame with suob foroe that tbe occupants were hurled ten or fifteen feet. Babies were thrown from tbe arms of their moth ers. Even garments and jewelry were wrenched from them by the waves. When the first boat tonahed shore those in it threw out ropes and ranged themselves in line to help the next oomers, and this system of rendering as sistance was followed nntil every soul was safe on land. One baby was resoned just before life was extinot, and it took some time to restore vitality. One of the ladies was caught under a boat and held there for some time, but as tbe next swell of sea raised tbe oraft she managed to es cape. There was no time for dolioato handling, the men knowing that tho safe ty of livea depended on prompt aud vig orous aetion, handled the ohildron as if they would ao many bags of saud. In attempting to launoh a boat to re turn to tbe wreck an assistant engineer bad a leg broken. Oapt. Waddell waa the last to leave the ship. At five o'olock in the evening only about fifteen feet of tbs vessel remained above tbe water, the waves washing over ber and knocking her to pieces. The Oaptain, with thirty-five others, oame ashore on a life raft whioh went over tbe surf without oapsiziug. Oapt. Waddell reports that tbe cargo of tho Aoapulco from New York, May 1st, was not on the City of Sail Francisco, except ono pack age of fast freight. Tbe court of enquiry to tako testimony on the loss of the steamer will be held next week. SOUTH CAROLINA.

Charleston,June 4.—Judge Waite, last night, summoned tho jury in the Ellenton ease into tbe court, and on interrogating thorn found (hey oould ODly agree upon a verdict in tbo oase of one of tbo eleven persons charged with consp'raoy. This was Abnor W. Atkinson, a mau over sixty yoars old, who was acquitted. Tbo Judge then discharged the jury, and tbe ten re maining prisoners were released upon giving bonds for their appearanee at tbe next term of the court. The counsel think it nnlikely that these oases will ever again be tried. It is now known that the jury stood six to six on the question of a general acquit tal, tbe Bix whites boing for, and the six blacks against. The black jurymen, how ever, were willing to agree upon a verdict convicting two of tbe acoused and acquit ting all the rest, but to this tbe six whites would not consent.

Charleston, June 4.—Tbe following is tbe result of au extended inquiry con cerning erop prospeots in this State. In tbe eastern counties, the best cotton dis trict in tbo State, tbe stand is bad, and the wheat and ootton np looks badly and shows no improment in growth. In the upper conntios ootton is similarly affeoted, and the want of rain is seriously felt. Iu middle oounties a week ego there waa no aland of ootton on the river lands, aud a little cotton was up. On the uplands, tho stand is about tbo same as the sections previously mentioned. The loworconu- ties make no better reports. Tbo dryness of the weather has been favorable for work, and bas kept tbe ootton crop out of grass. With everything favorablo from this time out, aud with a late fiosl, a fair orop of ootton muy slill bo made, bat under no circumstances can a full orop be expected.

It is held that tbe Cuatoin House iuves' tigalion and direotionB by tbe Executive to oolleotors, suggested by tbe commis sioners, who have no legal existence, is moro or less an important interference with the legal rights and duties of colleo" tore. Tho President may nominate or suspend oolleotors, but the details of the operations aro clearly defined by acts of Congress and aro properly olaimod be yond Presidential interference.
