Russia’s War Preparations Against Turkey

THE latest word before going to press is that Russia is making great war preparations against Turkey, to bring her to terms in the matter of the railroad concession demanded by Russia. The dispatches report as follows, from Sebastopol, March 31:—

War alarms fill the naval headquarters here.

The whole Euxine squadron is fully equipped for instant service.

Troops with full war kits are daily arriving from the interior.

The garrison will soon be a powerful army corps.

There is much excitement among the staffs of both services, and all the talk is of bringing Turkey to her senses by forcible measures.
