cunts continue to C ME al the misery
of fugitiyes from he district devas,a

ans. Thousands of women and chit

Proposes TO distribute the fu sitives
about Constantinople, Adrianople and
Phillipopolis, but no arrangements
nave been made to receive them. Your
correspondent suggests q formation Of
a city of refuge on an island nesr Con.
stsntinople under the protection Of a
neutral flag and neutral guarantee
from the belligerents. Thousands of
people are hopeless; the crops are rot
ting on the ground, and no sort of
provision is being mlde for via
ter. The Bulgarians are behaving
much in the same way as the Basbi
Bazouks. 1t will be impossible for the
Christians and Mohamnedans ever to
live again in The disturbed districts.
Even the philo- Russians severely
condemn the Russians conduct in first
instigating the Bulgsrians to revolt,
aud then leaving them to the mercy of
the Turks, whose right to treat them as
rebels is hard.tO question. AS further
evidence of more enlightened policy
of the Porte towards the foreigners,
tie services of Col. Baker have been
secured by Lieut.. Gen. Mehemet Ali,
and he has gone to the front with
three other we'll known English officers.
The 7imes's Armenia correspondent
writes that the stories of the Russian

in spite Of the laudable efforts Of
Moukhtar Pasha to restrain them.
