Alexis read to the crew of the Kxit-
land, the order of the Admiral, an-
Wholesale and Retail nuncing to the fleet the declaration
of war. The iedeumyras chanted bv
the sailor choir, and God's blessing on
Russian arms invoked. The ceremo
nies on board the other vessels -of the
fleet were similar to those on the flag
ship, Svetland.
London, April 26. A dispatch from
Alexandria to the t)aily Ifews says:
"It is rumored that the Khedive will
send the Sultan 18,000 men.
Paris, April 26. The Russian tele
graphic agency announces that to-day,
Thursday, the Roumanian Parliament
will declare war against Turkey? All
Turkish vessels will be em bargoed by
Russia from the 1st of May.
Constantinople, April 26. The Tur
kish treops are reported to have occu
pied Kalafat.
Athens, April 26. The inhabitants
ef the Greek Island Hydra, have re
fuse! to obey the law calling out an
extraordinary reserve. ! They not only
made seditious manifestations against
the authorities, but the conscript lists
were destroyed, and the telegraph lines
connecting the island with Athens was
also destroyed.
St. Petersburg , April 26. The Im
perial manifesto was read in all the
churches of the Empire, and is every
where enthusiastically received.
In the Turkish Chamber of Deputies,
the Christian members protested
against Russia, that she is making war
for the protection of Christians. They
did not desire the protection of Russia.
The Christians were ready to take up
arms in defence of their country.
The Montenegrins are advancing to
ward the frontier of Albania.
The Miridites have abandoned their
positions which the Turks occupied.
Russia has secured the railroad
bridge at Galatz.
The Turks are entrenching at Ru-
schuk, two lines of defence, and have
entrenched the camp before Ruschuk.
There are five iron clads in the Dan
ube.
A slight engagement is reported in
Armenia.

The Czar has written the Emperor
of Austria, that Russia desires no annexation.
The Russian Circassian army is mov
ing in two columns toward Urzroun
and Battoum.
Not a shot had been fired up to 5
o'clock yesterday in Europe.
The Russians are moving to secure a
passage. through Dabradscha.
Telegraphic communication betwen
Roumania and Turkey baa been inter
rupted.
The Galos, considered Russia s di
plomatic organ says ; "It remains tor
our diplomacy to determine whether
military bperations are to be earned
on energetically, and with the full
strength of our active forces, or whe
ther we are to content ourselves with a
predetermined movement for the oc
cupation of a certain limited locality,.
Foreign officers in Turkish service
are promptly paid.
It is stated . that Prime Minister
Risteede of Servia, intends to resign."
The Russian official admiralty organ
admits the impossibility of the Russian
Black Sea fleet" opposing the Turkish
iron clads, but claims the Turks ; will
be unable to effect a landing at all ac
cessible -points, being proctected by
fortifications and torpedoes. The Turks
will be in the same - position' as were
the French in the Baltic Sea in 1870,
and if left to itself, pretty "sure ;to last
as long as ose party has . strength to
hurl defiance at the other ' wars begun
in reason may spontaneously end in
reason ; the weak may, bow to ' the
strong, but here there is neither rea
son nor wisdom vo. A long score ; of
mutual inquries, has. led to an accumu
lation of hatred, which must be drown
ed in blood. Civilization acknowledges
no such dire necessities. Unfortunate
ly the struggle is . not one far distant
from the territory of civilization, but it
is an awful and present danger. In self
defence civilization will have to con
fine it to the smallest possible limit,
and secure it speedy extinction if she
can. . . .
' The Times ' reviewing Gen i Von
Moltke's peech in thegGerman Parlia
ment ori TdayT-Tfttyr "Gen t.Von
Molke feels as we all 'feel, how easy it
would be to extend the area, of war, so
as to include a majority of the Europ
ean powers. We have been told again
and again, that if peace is once broken
we should enter upon a war, of which
no man could see the end. The Ger
man government knows this, and they
desire to prepare for the worst, while
hoping for the best. We regret this
policy, because they were appa
rently perfectly- prepared before,
and because preparation: in critical
times excites counter preparation, and
jealousy excites jealousy, until we
bring upon us what we would not pre
vent by our very anxiety to prevent it;
but we do not interpret the spirit as
meaning anything more than the reso
lution of a strong arm to hold his
own peace. Gen VonMoltkes speech
does not deprive us ef the hope that
the present war will remain localized ;
but it is sore provocation to despair."
Note This speech referred to arm
ing as against France.!

Constantinople, April 26. Safaet
Pasha addressed the following dis
patch to the Turkish Ambassador at
London;,
"The first engagement has just been
fought at Jchurukson, near Bovtavon.
After severe fighting, the enemy was
defeated and put to route with the loss
of 800."

Columbia, April 26. Goy Hamp
ton's Message was read to-day. Re
garding securities, he says :
"The suspicions which attach to a
portion of the outstanding obligations
of the State, and which to a greater or
less extent effect the value of all, ren
der it imperative th'at these obliga
tions, whether funded or not, should be
strictly scrutinized, with a view of as
certaining which are valid and which
are not. This should be the condition
precedent to the payment of the inter
est. May of the outstanding obliga
tions of the State, whether in the shape
of bonds or otherwise ; and also, to the
further funding of any of the State in
debtedness, into the consolidated
bonds, authorized to be issued under
act of 1873, to reduce the volume of
the "public debt."

McMillan seem to be the favorites.
Chester, who has credentials from some
people to the President, has instruc

Sheldon. Chester reports the ' Presi
dent as saying he supposes Packard
does not like what he has done,and may
write letters against him ; but if Mr
Packard were found acceptable to the
colored people, and would continue the
strongest and best white influence in

An early change of anything like a
general character in the Federal offices

is plainly announced that there will
be none until after the termination of
the regular tenure, except for personal
cause, which include obstruction to
pacification, or as in the case of the New

tion may be materially promoted. In

Why They Were Behind.
.
Messrs. Editors : !
Will you allow me space to answer
the inquiry, "why were the Hornets so
late at the fire ?" In doing so, it is un
necessary to remind the citizens that
we have made every possible effort to
support our horses, and have failed,
not through any fault of our own, but
for want of patronage: it is also Un
necessary to prove the advantages of
an engine run by horses, during muddy
weather, or when fires occur a great
distance from the square all this they
know. I simply ask space to say. that
the cause of the delay this morning.
was owing entirely to a committee of
Aldermen, who nave had our petition
asking them to feed our horses, under
consideration j for nearly wo weeks.
We can get no answer from them : we
have no driver, nor any one to sleep at
the engine house, and expect to remain
in this disorganized condition, until we
get some relief. We are not able, nor
willing to be taxed any further with
the support of our horses, that are used
solely fori the i benefit i of ., real estate
owners, and then be censured by them
for not doing mere, n , i - . -O
