Rho turkish Squadron on the Eivor Dan Ubo is under Tho command of Kirit Lee mus Laplum Pasqui and consists of Somo seven a Morod gun boats and a few Small Wood on steam vessels a ipod with Light guns. Tho Iron Clad gun boats Aro All about l15 feet in length Cany each of them two Breeh Load ing Armstrong guns 80 Pounders in a Bat Lory placed on Tho Foro part of the Aro protected with two Inch Armor. The remaining two Aro of very Superior construction carrying their two guns 80 Pounder Krupps in a Turret placed Forward. They wore built at constantinople and Only launched a few months ago. Nothing is known As to whether Tho romanian authorities have connived at Tho placing of Torpe does in Tho River on the part of Tho russians though doubtless Tho latter will have thought of it. Tho turks at one time thought of having recourse to those weapons and placing them at every Point on Iho Danube at All suitable for crossing but there is Rea son to believe that the idea has been abandoned. However Tho dish culty of crossing Tho River owing to these gunboats Lias no if been underestimated by Tho russian government and with a View of paralysing their action and protecting the operations for throwing Over n number of Small torpedo boats have been added to Tho equip ment of Tho invading army. These boats Are steam launches about thirty foot Long constructed with Tho exception of is of steel of thin Iron plating. They Aro fitted with engines of a Hora Power and possess Groat Speed. Being specially built with u View to transport by rail they Aro exceedingly Light for their not weigh with their engines and fittings All Complete More than three and one Hull tons. They will probably to fitted with Tho spar torpedo and their crows will Trust to their Speed to carry them alongside an enemy s gun boat find away from it again before Tho turks will have Sutlic gently recovered their presence of mind to Point a gun correctly or oven tire one. As a Protection Rifle boats carry Shields it each end but there is nothing to prevent their being sunk Tho fire of a great gun. Well maim ured under Tho command of bold and enterprising officers these launches might become very dangerous to the turks and in any Likely to prove a valuable auxiliary Force As they May be used among other purposes for carrying Over the Advance guard. Once at the River the russian army will to delayed until Tho Bridge is constructed for Tho passage of Tho main body. Materials for a Bridge have Boon collected in abundance at Tho town of Ismail Tho Kilia Branch of the Delta and include both pontoons and boats As Well As the necessary Timber.
