RUSSIANS UNABLE TO REACH WALLACHIA.
NORTHERN RAILWAY BLOCKED BY FUGITIVES. STRONG DEFENCES PREPARED IN MOLDAVIA. Heater's Telegrams. (Received December 8, 12.40 p.m.) LONDON, December 7. It is believed that the Rumanian retreat from Wallachia is due to the fact that the transport of Russians from Moldavia to Wallachia is impossible, owing to congestion on the BucharestJassy railway, in consequence of the evacuation of Bucharest. It is understood that successive Rumanian lines of defence have been prepared between the Buzen and the Jalosista. The Russians are attacking most vigorously in Moldavia, and have captured the enemy's first line 10 miles from the Gyimes Pass.
