HONG KONG ATROCITIES. LONDON, February 24. In the Commons debate, Sir Percy Harris referring to the reportea Hltreatment of Britishers m Hong Kong, said that if the uebate had been secret, he would have mentioned sinister, appalling, and horrible incidents which it was reported were occurring. He had informed the Government, which was preventing the circulation of these stories, because of the bad effect it might have on morale. If these stories were founded on fact, as he believed they were, they would sooner or later leak out. Nothing destroyed confidence and faith so. much as th e suppression of news, and any attempt to Drevent unpleasant things reaching the people.
