Constantinople, Aug. 17.—An irade has been issued calling out fifty-two fresh battalions from the European provinces of Turkey, to cope with the Bulgarian insurrection.
A despatch from Uskub today reports that the insurgents on Saturday night dynamited a bridge over the Valdar, between Kuprili and Selinico, as a military train was passing. One person was killed, and nineteen injured.
Rome, Aug. 17.—A body of volunteers is being organized to land on the coast of the Adriatic, at the first opportune moment, their ultimate aim being to join the Bulgarian insurgents who are opposing Turkish methods in the Balkans. These Bulgarian sympathizers hope that Italy will be eventually forced to send Italian regulars to aid in the settling of the difficulties in the disturbed territory.
The Roumanian war office has ordered the immediate manufacture of large quantities of ammunition. The order is significant, as indicating that the government is planning to take a hand in the Balkan trouble.
A dispatch from St. Petersburg states that the Russian squadron, ordered to the Turkish waters last week, consists of four warships, five destroyers and six torpedo boats.
