NAPLES, May 2s, 1915.
NY Lord-Prlnce Leopold of Sicily,
greeted by the general applause of the
people, made his entry into this city, at
the head OF the Austrian troops, on the
ED.
The passage of that prince through his
fathers states to the capital, has been
most gratifying. The inhabitants, from
considerable distances, focked TO meet
him. and, having re-assumed the national
cockade, brought him proofs OF their at
techment to his family, and their detesta-
ton OF the rule they we're escaping from,
imposed upon them by conquest and main
tanned by force.
BY the convention transmitted to your
lordship in my last dispatch, the allied
arms were to have placed in possession of
Naples on this day. The popular feeling
had, however, SO strongly manifested it.

on the 10th and 2lst, that marshal Murat
lett the town in disguise, and his wife
sought the security which had been assur-

General Carracosa sent to general
Bianchi, requesting he would prevent the
misfortunes with which the town was me-
naced. by entering it immediately and
madame Murat. by the same request to adj
mIral lord Exmoutb, prevailed upon him
to land body of 500 marines to maintain
tranquility.
Marshal Murat appears to have been
fully aware of the little support his usur-
ped dominion, when menaced, would re-
ceive either from the army or the inhabi-
tants ofthis kingdom his children were
al'sady placed at Gaeta.
Gen. Banchi sent forward his cavalry,
under count Neippegg, on the evening of
the 2lSt. 1t occupied this city during the
night, and preserved it from disorder.
Prince Leopold has requestedaII the an
thorities Of the kingdom, the ministers OF
state, and the officers of the army, to re-
main at their post to await the orders of
the king.
Admiral Penrose sailed from hence to
Melazzo, to bring his majesty to his capi-

Admiral lord Exm nth arrived in the

Madame brjrat will sail tomorrow on
board of his majesty's ship Tremendous
towards Gaeta, TO receive her children on
board, and will then proceed to Trieste.
No disturbances Of any serious nature
have taken place. The enmity against
such as are supposed from their employ

which general Bianchi has carried assist
