VERSAILLES, April 20-The inactive
military policy of the Government is
causing much dissatisfaction in army
circles here, and the troops are eager to
end the protracted contest with the In

policy on the part Of the Government,
and has announced his willingness to
take upon himself the responsibility OF
a decided movement against the Insur-
gents. Thiers, however, holds back and
over-rules the opinions Of the General.

disposed of at auction. The priests are
all hiding or have fled disguised under
the protection papers from Belgian,
Italian and English Consulates. This

the Belgian Consulate. Many churches
have been transferred into barracks
and hospitals.
