GENERAL SITUATION OP THE ABMIHS. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] London, June 10.—To tho movemanta on tbs Asistio side recorded last week wbioh showed thet the Bostian oentre sod right wing hsd joined bsnd* end sd- vsnoed, the former on the passes of the Berogsnti end the letter on the Olti snd slong the Chornk Valley, there must now be sdded the feet tbst the Rnssisn oentre bss obtained oommnniostion with the left wing, so that the Eastern heads of the passes between the Sigohonli snd Kirritz ranges, near Medshinor, are already in their hands, Mnkhtar Pasha having with drawn from his position between Oltiza Bardez, and taken np a fresh line between Looprukoi and Hassan Kalehi, to eheok the advanoe of the Banian's left wing. ON THE DANURR. The state of preparation of opposing for- oes lead to belief that there will be heavy oannonading all along the Danube,coupled with raids and feints in various directions, nnder cover of wbioh there will be simul taneous attacks by the Uusslaas in foree at Oltinitza, Uustohnk, Sytovok and Tan- mak, with diversions at Kalafat and Ibrail. It is not probable that anythingof import ance in the way oforossinginforoewilltake plaoe for the next week, whatever may be the points at which a orossing will finally be attempted. TURKISH POSITION BBtlT tZEBOUM. London, Jane 10.—The latest Benter telegram from Erzerorm, dated June 8th, says the Turkish headqur-ters, with eighteen battalions of infantry, two bat teries and five hundred Kurdish cavalry, is established near Zeivin. The Turks hold a strong position^ commanding 8a- malza. It is believed that Mnkhtar Pasha contemplates attaok'.ng the Russian right wing in three separate columns, operating from Zerrina and another point. . TURKISH PBTPARATIONB. London, June 10.—The Times' Vienna dispatoh says: The Turks are collecting an army of reserve westward of Sofia. The garrison of Widden is being reduced, part of the troops still remaining there being detaohed to strengthen the army in the field. It is intended by the Turks, apparently, to oppose the Russian host expeoted to cross in the neighborhood of Nioapolia and Sistova. Hobart Pasha has taken measnrea for scouring the Sueina mouth of the Danube and for a strict blockade of Odessa. Eight hundred Circassians are reported to have been sent to Tatar Bazardjik to be distributed among and garrison villages in order to repress any attempt at inanr nation. IBONOL1D8 AND TORPEDO BOATS. The Times' dispatch from Therapia says news has just arrived of an enoounter be tween six Russian torpedo boats snd some Tnrkish ironolads at Sulena, mouth of the Danube. The torpedo boats were beaten off. Three were destroyed. Home prisoners were taken. One of .the iron olads was injured. MONTENEGRO ENTRANCE. The Vienna correspondent of the Times says no fresh news has been received from Montenegro. Both sides are evi dently making preparations to deal a de cisive blow. The diffionlt task of foroing an entrance from Duga Pass into the plain of Niosios still remains for Sulliman Pasha. In this neither All Sahib nor Mehemed Alia can assist him muoh. THE PATE OP NIOSIO. London, June 10.—The Times corres pondent at Montenegrin headquarters says reports that a provision train for Goronsko was oaptured are unfounded. The fortress was reviotualed after fonr hour’s fighting. This success enables Suleiman to oonoentrate his forces for an attack on Gen. Vnkovio's position in the Doga Pass. The Montenegrin army will be concentrated to meet him, and the battle will be deoisive of the fate of Nio sio. It is thought probable Suleiman though losing heavily, will penetrate to Niesio. If he should be defeated bis army will extrioate itself with great diffl oulty, and will risk total destruction. THE RUSSIAN PLAN TO ADVANOE OVER THE DANUBE. London, June 11.—A special dispatoh from Vienna to the Times, has the follow ing : It would appear that the Russian points for crossing the Danube will be ohoaen east and west of the .Turkish quadrilateral; that, while the eastern col umn keeps in oheok the Turkish forces massed in and about the fortresses, the western oolumn will act as a field army oparating against the flank or rear of the Turkish oolumn. The line ohoaen for the operation of the western column is a most advan tag eons one, for along it lies some fair roads over the Balkans, one from Plevnia and Sofia, and another from Sis tova, over theSiftka Pass toward Pbilip- popolis. Although the 1. rks are out numbered by the Russians, and although with the greatest exertions, they will ■oarealy be able to oppose anything like ■n equivalent force to the fonr oorpe con centrated by the Hussions on that side, yet by taking up a central pooition be- Pievnia and Beta, with the help of moni tors and batteries, they may throw oon- ■tdsceble obstructions in the way of the BULGARIAN LBOION. London, June 11.—A special from Vi enna to the News says the Bulgarian Legion in ltonmania now numbers 10,000 men. A dispatoh from Plojesti to the Man chester Guardian says the Bulgarians are reluotant to enter the Legion, half of which is composed of foreigners, espe cially Servians. A dispatoh from SukumKaloh to the Tel egraph says the insurrection is spreading. The commanders are vigorously attempt ing to out the Russian communications. SORTIE AT KABS—THREE RUSSIAN TORPEDO BOATS DESTROYED. Constantinople, June 11.—Mnhkter Pasha, under date of June 10, telegraphs as follows: The garrison of Kars made a successful artillery sortie and pursued the enemy, Admiral Mustapha states that five Russian torpedo boats were de stroyed in an attaek made on the Turkish ironclads at the Bulina month of the Dan ube. DANUBE BISES AGAIN. London, June 11.—A special dispatoh from Vienna to the seoond edition of the Standard says the Danube suddenly rose yesterday, overflowing its banks. The rise was oansed by the melting snow and ice on the Carpathian Alps, snd will again delay Russian operations. EGYPTIAN CONTINGENT BAILED—POTI DE SERTED. London, June 11.—A Reuter from Al exandria announces that the Egyptian contingent of Troops for Tutkey sailed, escorted by fonr Tnrkish men-of-war. A letter from Bucharest says there are three hundred and twenty newspaper cor respondents in Ronmania.
