" Moreno HoKA - the words which came
flashing over the telegraph wires, were
well-ehosen. The willy Don is certainly
~hoka-" He may come to the front again.
but be VIII have TO work mighty hard to
do so. When the steamer asia. with the
King and Suite on board, arrived In the
Bay Of Naples. the Don was on hand, and
arrived with the various dignataries Of
Italy to receive His Majesty. For time
he was successful none of the Royal
party understood Italian, and the Bazoo
had it all his own way; he introduced off
Gals to his hearts content ; he elbowed the
suite out of the way, got into the Kings
carriage and drove with him to his hotel.
Here. however, a change came over the
spirit of his dreams as soon as oppOr-
tunity offered. private conversation was
held with him. and he was treated to a lit
tie Chinese biography; there also came
the question Of accounts a settlement
and Strengthening out was, We hear de
manded The Don. we understand. feels
himself too dignifed to keep accounts. and
moreover he stated that be had only 500
to account for that sum he had drawn
from Mr.. Martin IN Paris the 5000 that
had been furnished HIM by the Govern
ment was entirely on his own private &C
count. No wonder that he was spending
his own money for the boys. He was not
among the guests invited to dine with the
King. The King. on the day after his ar
rival visited the King OF Italy. and we are
given to understand that during that IN
terview. the character of Moreno was
pretty thoroughly discussed and unders-
toodthe: Italian Government know the Ad-
venturer Of old When the King left for
Rome. Moreno attempted to get IN to the
same carriage with His Majesty, but he did
not succeed. and followed the party 3nd
class At Rome the same game was az
tempted to be played as IN Naples, but It
was as completely foiled- He played the
old tactic, Of which we have heard before
now. Of refusing to give an address. but
his residence was discovered-and fur
ther conversation was held with him, and
be was given fully to understand by His
Majesty himself that his political status.
Ss far as HaEai was concerned. was at an
end
This nearly finishes up the Moreno
episode. be has PLAYED his best card and he
has lost his stakes. Heran the BOYS as Do

now that the CREST Don VIII 10 longer be

themselves are concerned they seem to be
vel placed but this Is not so much owing
to the infusnce Of the DON as 70 the good

Certainly our worthy friend has made
grand fasco. he had evidently hoped to
accompany the King IN a grand tour
through Italy, and to cover himself with
glory. The Don, after all. Is only another
ex-enplifcation Of the proFerb, honesty
