WIlte denouncing the armaments going on in
Neneha Will not convince people that Austria is
on the point OF committing a most wanton
aggression on Italy. The Austrian Ambassador
IN Paris no later than Friday or Saturday de-
clared in the most formal terms to the MmIster
Tor Foreign Affairs that there was no intention
and no wish to attack Italy, and that moreover
Austria was willing and ready to stop even now
ner ornaments IN Venetia on condition that the
French GoEernment, which is not without inhu-
ence in Italy, would guarantee that Italy would
not attack her in that quarter.

lister declared that the Imperial Government en-
tertained no idea of proceeding Extensively
against Italy, ana he added tnat the army IN

bent on mischief.
