raj Farragut, having recovered from his slight
illness, attended State dinner at the royal pal
ace, to which he was invited by King Victor
Emanuel. The Admiral was received with
marked courtesy by the King, and was treated
with great honor and consideration by the COM

the Italian Cabinet, high officials of the court

Government for the use Of Spczzia for that pur-
pose.
