Disjointed War Efforts With Ottoman Struggles and Bridge Discovery
A May report notes Ottoman pressure and mixed signals from the Sublime Porte as empire tensions mount. In Europe a bridge under ground work near Drenthe is described as an ancient Roman route linked to Tacitus, with plank spans and no nails. An unrelated Boston robbery case involves Kean whose trunk with papers and banknotes was swapped for a stone-filled impersonation aboard a steamboat. The Congress arrival at Rio and illnesses among sailors, including Captain William C. Collins, are reported with news of mortality and fleet movements.
