LONDON, May 8.--Ln the House OF Com
mons Sir William Vernon Harc0urt denied
the right OF the Government to employ In
dian troops without the consent Of Parlia-
ment. Sir Stafford Northcote defended the

ment OF troops from one part to another
part OF the Empire. The Government, he
said. did not publish the news, and did not
expect it to become public so soon. T. he
Governments policy still is to obtain IN
amicable settlement, but it may be- disap-
pointed. 1t therefore feels that.it is its duty
to take precautions. The expenses OF the
Indian troops will be borne by the Imperial
Exchequer. He also said that he appre-
hended that they would serve under the
Indian military act. .as'.Ea

them by to-day, as all the room available is
to be reserved for transports. The reports
of recruiting officers for the past month

A special from Para to the London Times
says: AdyiceS from Adrianople and Phil
lipolis report continued fighting about Has
koi, in which district twcny-four Mussu!-
man villages have been destroyed. The
Russians are laying the blame on the Bull
garians and the Bulgarians on the Russians.
There have been many arrests ut Adriano-
pie among the Bulgarians accused Of com.
plicity in the destruction Of the Turkish
villages. The insurgents have not yet de
scended into the plain further west than
Haskoi, but the Pomaks (Bulgarians who
have been converted to Islamsm) of the
Dritaliana valley cooperate with the main
body of the insurgents. To countcract
this movement Russian force is marching
from Sophia. In the South the insurgents
have taken Rohova and other places. Thir-
ty-eight wounded Russians have been
brought to Phillopolis. The main body Of
the insurgents is estimated at 10000, eXclu-
sivc OF scattered bands. Information

between the leaders and the insurgent
bands OF Thcssaly, which seems creditable

surrection was anti-Sclav rather than anti
Turk. There seems also reason to expect
