Mails arrive and close as follows:
War or Peace in Europe.

Eachsuccess;ve dispatch from Italy tends
10 impress the thoughtful mind with the
conviction that general war in Europe is
far from improbable. Let US briefly state
how affairs in Italy, and ont of it, are COM
Dlicated now.
''Garibaldi has all but completed the en-
tire conquest of what we can scarcely con-
.inue to call " The Kingdom of the Two
Scihes" Almost-not entirely, he has
done this. 1t was believed that Francis
H., ex-King of Naples, who had fed to the
bort of Gacta, had thence bctakec himself
TO Spain. But he has turned. ensC Csapun
between Naples and Gaeta, one of the best
.prtifed places in Southern Italy. Carl
fahE ie bGsieging Linn there, aqd ao one
can expect other than one resultLthat this
last of the Bourbon Kings will be defeated
The siege, however, vii! reta-d the move
ments Of Garibaldi,. WHICH. we're TO be either
into Rome or, against ,N.aaic2.
Garbaldi has taken d dislike to Count
Cayour, the able Sardiaiqn Prime Minister,
and, somewhat brusqhely demands that Vie
tor Emmanuel shalldismiss him. The mo-
.tives of Garibaldi,s objection are said to be
hatred to Diplomacy, Of which he consid-
ers CavQpr to be the consummatc embodi-
mcnt, aaa a certain feeling of local anger,
because Nice. where Garihaldi was born,
was. sold or betrayed to Napoleon. This
demand of Garibaldi'S must Inconvenience
,.ss-well as annoy Victor Emmanuel, for he
cannot but feel that Cavour, the ablcst pol
itcian in Europe, with the exception of
Napolcan, is his right hand. In 1911, it
vas CavOur who laid the foundation of the
present greatness of the Sandman sorcr-
eighty, by insinuatng Victor Emmanucl
as one Of the quapartitc alliance (yith
France, England and Austrial against
Russia Victor Emmanuel is said to con-
template an Immediate visit to G@ribhldi,
to talk him over, but his chance of doing
81 is small indeed.
Next, it was believed, expected, hoped
that the Pope would fy from Rome, TO
Spain or Austria Had he done So there
was an end of the Papacy in Italy. Plus
TX. might transfer the seat OF the Holy
See to any other country, fhe pleased
he might even erect the throne Of St. Pc
ter in Mr.. Bennctt's little villa at Wash
ngton Hcights-but he might never hope
to return to Italy The arrival, however,
Of Gen Goyon, in command Of the French
troops at Rome, has determined the Pope
20 remain This is his wisest policy, for,
while he continues in Rome, the Pope may
pretty surely calculate on being protected
:here by French bayonets. Ttnt is 4 Ma
poconic pledge so strongly and publicly
m~de that DO casualty can be anticipated
lor breaking it.
But, Garabaldi says, :" will eater Rome,
ami there proclaim Victor EmmanueT from
the summit Of the Quirinal' - He also
proclGms that h, will march against We
nice At Rome, while the Pope is there,
he will have the French army to cncount-
cr Does he wish for the chance Of eros
sing swords with Napoleon? At Venice,
he mnst meet Austria, bent on fighting on
aor @tCiGps if it must be so, and will risk
- chance Of drawing down upon Napolc-
On, or Victor Emmanuel, or both, the com
blued opposition Of Germany.
