War News—Notes and Comments.
London, Jan. 11.--The Duke of Sunderland delivered an anti-Russian speech here yes- terday, at which Prince ‘Teck and a number of the aristocracy were present. The utterances of the speaker in giving his views regarding the policy which Hngland should pursue in dealing with the Kastern question showed strong sympathy by him for Turkey, and his denunciations of Russia have created a great scnsation in London.
St. Pgrerspukc, Jan. 11,.—The journals commenting on the capture of the ‘Turkish army in Shipka Pass, point out that ‘this is a new evidence that Turkish power of resistance is utterly broken, and remark that Cabinets at both Constantinople and London must under- stand the necessity of recognizing in the ap- proaching negotiations the decisive military situation created by tne Russian army.
The Czar is ill in this city. Isis announced that Russia proposes to convert the Baltic into a closed sea, and exclude vessels of all non Baltic ports from entering it.
The ** Golos” to-day prints a despatch from Vienna which contradicts St. Petersburg des- patch to London **'limes” of the 7th, stating it isrumered, Austria and Germany oppose th: idea of opening the Dardanelles to Russian veszels only, and that Russia had consequently determined not to raise the question at ali, | The ‘‘Golos” telegram says Austria has not discussed the question with Germany anda Russa despatech-from Berlin says Russia is negotiating with otwer Baltic powers. tor pur- ‘poses of prohibiting war vessels. of won Baltic powers from entering that sea.
The sensation is the crowning victory of the Russians at Shipka Pass. The ‘‘ Times” this this morning says the Russians have compara- tively easy task before them. The opportu- nity of pouring forces across the Balkans, a feat supposed last summer to be easy of accom- plishment is now fiually offered. The Russians are substantially masters of the last naturel line of Turkish deiences. Everything indicates utter disorderand demoralization of the Turks, ‘The Porte must now make peace, if it desires to preserve any substantial portion of its terri- tory. Turkey must accept harder terms now than would have been accorded her a year age, bat the experience of the past twelve months must have taught her that if she resists longer she has oly to expect complete and final dis- comfiture, ending in ignominious surrender. An English alliance is impossible. There is not the remotest prospect of any other Power coming to her aid. England will protect Bri- tish interests if they are threatened, but will not defend the Turk from the consequences ot his misdeeds.
Lonpon. Jan. 10.—Contradictory reports regarding the conditions of an armistice con- tinue. ‘The Russians have probably not yet made any proposals, but all the reports cur- rent point to severe conditions.
Arumor is cireulating’ in Berlin that the Russians demand the evacuation of the Danube fortresses, and the withdrawal of the Turks to the line of demarcation between Adrianople and Philopopolis,
The whole Russian army feels the hardness and almost injustice of the armistice proposals, coming just when the final triumph was near. At headquarters there is a strong disposition to prevent, or at any rate delay, an armistice as long as possible.
A correspondent says that the Prince of Montenegro, have appiied to the Russian head- quarters tor instructious relative to an armis- tice, was informed that he need not send an enyoy, as the Grand Duke would take ‘charge of his interests.
At Schipka the Russians taptured 28,000 men, 1,000 horses, 12 mortars, 12 siege guns, and 89 field guns.
The Cossacks have cut the Yambol Railway.
A Constantinople despatch says that there is great consternation there at the announced approach of the Russians, and the arrival of the Turks, who fied from Adrianople.
The new Turkish foreiga minister, Server Pasha, is reported as favoring peace.
It is intimated that Russia's conditions of peace will probably be moderate, and in order to give Europe proof of its sincere desire for peace, the Porte has asked the Russian Goy- ernment to state what conditions it would demand.
Lonpon, Jan. 13.—Baroness Burdett Coutts, as representative of the contributors to the Turkish relief fund, has received the following telegram from Mr. Layard, British Ambassador at Constantinople :
‘*Distress is increasing terribly, and fugi- tives are arriving by thousands. Nine trains are expected to-day (Saturday) from Adrian ople, bringing ten thousand fugitives, mostly women and children, who make the journey in open trucks during the heavy snowfall. Large ‘numbers of other fugitives will arrive shortly.
I have engaged a house near the station to re- : ceive the most destitute and provide for the distribution of food. Twelve hundred suffer- ers were relieved and lodged to-day. Funds | are urgently required, The Turkish Goyern- ment is doing its best, but its action is almost paralyzed by the overwhelming magnitnde of the misery 1t has to dea] with.”
CoNsSfaANTINOPLE, Jan, 12.—There was a long Cabinet Council to-day. The Porte has
