Outbreaks are reported in the province OF
Viterbo. The people surrounded the Papal
Zouavcs in their entertainments at Vitcrbo,
Montcfscon and Nalentano, and threatened to
attack them. Order was restored in the name
of the King of Italy.
The Daily Telegraph has special dispatch
stating that an arrangement for the occupation
OF the Papal territory has been agreed to. A
plebiscitum is TO be taken by which the inhab-
itants are to decide for the Pope or the King
as their civil ruler, the decision to be binding on
both. In the meantime the Italian troops will
hold the Roman territory until the voting is
over and il tho result is adverse to the King,
will withdraw. The Papa towns are sending
petitions to the Italian Government Tor pro-
tection and the papers urge the King not to
hesitate to make Rome the capital of the ma
ton. The official Journal of the Government
at Florence justiies the occupation of the
piatrimony Of st. Peter, maintaining that it is
as necessary for the Pope as it is for Italy. The
journal hopes that the Pope will accept the
guardianship Of the Italian Government
