BERLIN, May 35.-King Humbert's pro-
jec cd visit to Strasburg was counter
manded after the Italian embassy received
kilograms from Paris reporting disturbance
in the public mind. The arrangements at
Strasburg included review of the garrison
and night n tack on the citadel After
Signor Crispi had referred the matter to
Prince Bismarck, it was ann )uuCed that
King Humbert would not visit Strasburg,
but would keep on the Baden side of the
Rhine on his homeward journey. Neither
Signor Crispi nor Prince Bismarck care, at
the present juncture, to over-sxcite the
French.
REVISION OF THE TREATY.
The revision of the treaty agreed upon
during the kings visit mas not Y received
the adhesion of Austria. Associated with
the treaty is military convention fixing
definite plan for the mobilization of the
Italian army in the evant Of var.
Signor Crispi wanted an entente on the
question Of the papacy. Prince Bismarck
obtained from Signor Crispi a pledge for
moderate internal policy toward the vati-
can, and has asked the Austrian prime
minister to join in unitel pressure, on the
pops to mako peace with tho quirinaL.
AUsTRIA's EMPEROR.
1t is understood that Emperor Francis
Joseph reluctantly allowed Count Kalnoky
to intervene in the matter, and that the
pope, on receiving private assuralc Of the
Austrian emperor's sympathy, promptly
rejected the over ures. The result is dis
t.nct breach in the continuity of the ALI
ancs The revised treaty will probably
remain unsigned until Emperor Francis
Joseph and Count Kalnoky pay their
expected visit here. The Italian generals,
Rolands and Sironi, remain in Be lin to
settle the details Of the military convention
with the war Office. Ad verse rumors go t0
the length of asserting that the diffsre zee
with Austria is leading to a rupture Of the
alliance, Emperor Francis Joseph incliniag
to regulate Balkan questions in conjunc-
tion with Russia. Tns official circle abso-
lutely denies that a rupture is within the
range OF probability.
King Humbert, in a letter, thanks ths
people Of Berlin tor the splendid reception
accorded him, and sends a gift of 10000
marks for charitable objects.

pointment was expressed because Count
