Mr. HARCOURTNo instructions have yet been given, and when they are issued they will be issued to the officer in command of the whole of the military force in the Protectorate, including both Camel Corps and Indian troops I shall be happy to lay a copy of them upon the Table in due course, but the officer in question has not yet been appointed The reoccupation will be for an indefinite time, but for so long as may hereafter seem necessary.
