Reichstadt to-day. Prince Rensberg.
President Of the Cabinet Council, in
reply to an interpolation respecting
the alleged intention of Austria to oc-
cupy Bosnia and Herzegovina, said the

lished themselves on its line of commu-
nication with Varna. Moreover, the
thirty battalons of regulars now in
Shumla are believed to be more useful
in Constantinople.
