Taulbee Had Grossly Abused Him. Public Debt Statement for
 March-PensiOn Business.

WASHINGTON, April l.-In the Kincaid trial today the defendant was on the witness stand. He testified that from December. 1887, down to the shooting, Tauibee never neglected an opportunity to assault witness and to follow him up. Taulbee, wherever he met Kincaid, used to push him roughly and prosecute him in small way.
 A number of persons communicated Taulbee's threats to witness and after ward he did everything he could to avoid Taulbee. On the morning of the day of the shooting Taulbee seized him by the shoulder, used him roughly, wrenched his ear, applied the most offensive lam guage to him and pushed him away and told him to go and hang himself. Kin caid after this put into his pocket re- yolyer which be had bought after pre- vious assault. When he was coming down the stairs to lunch in the capitol he saw Taulbee and another man on the stairs.

 ROME, April l.-In official circles it k stated that the Italian Minister at Wash ington has not cabled anything decisive to his Government regarding his recall
 United States Minister Porter yester day called to see Marquis di Rudini Italian Premier, who, however, was ab sent from the city.
 MT. Porter then saw the Under Score. tary of Foreign Affairs, Signor Darco The United States Minister expressed regret at the fact that the Italian Gov. ernment had thought fit to recall Baron Fava and, generally speaking, thought the United States Government would not deny any request of the Italian Gov. ernment, If there was reason and fair. ness in such demands.
 Minister Porter also promised to lay before the United States Government at Washington the substance of the con. versation which took place between him and Signor Darco. Incidentally Mir. Porter also suggested that the Italian Government should wait before taking further action, in the hope that satis- factory answer might be received from Washington.
 Before Mir Porter left Signor Darco's office the latter said Suppose dozen American citizens were murdered in an Italian city and we pleaded impotence to punish the murderers because the city in which the murders occurred enjoyed an autonomous form of government, what opinion would your people in the United States, and what opinion would the civilized world at large, have in re- gard to our plea."
 Mir. Porter thereupon tried to make clear to Signor Darco the relations Of the Federal Government to individual States as fixed by the constitution but Darco was not satisfied and replied with heat:

sioner to the Agents.
 WASHINGTON, April 1.-The Con- missioner of Indian affairs has sent to the agents for the various reservations, letter giving synopsis of all existing treaties and arguments between the Sioux and Government, including the Indian appropriation acts passed during the last Congress.
 The commissioner directs the agents 10 state to the Indians that Agent Cooper has been instructed 10 proceed to Pine Ridge and find out definitely what persons suffered loss of property during the late trouble, and as soon as this information was received the $lOO,- OOO which Congress appropriated to make good these losses will be pad to them.
 They are also directed to explain that agents have been requested to report to hun what Indians are ready and entitled to receive from the Government COWS and other stock, and, as soon as this in- formation is received, stock will be pur- chased and sent to them. The Indians are also to be told that the superintend- ent of Indian schools is now inyestigat-
  ing the matter of establishing a large boarding school at Rosebud. improving tue boarding schools at Pine Ridge and elsewhere, and of locating and building thirty day schools provided for, and that irls hoped before the opening of the new school year in September, all this work will either be completed or we'll under way.
 Agents are also instructed to inform the Indians that probably within the next month a commission will be ap- pointed to settle the boundary line be- tween Pine Ridge and Rosebud and orders have already been given for the establishment of sub-issue stations at convenient places. Larger and better cattle will also be furnished the Indians. The commissioner directs that agents state to the Indians very full and very emphatically that renewal of disturb ances will postpone the payment of money and the furnishing of supplies.

Navy Officers Interested.

WASHINGTON, April L. Army and navy officers talked considerable this morning about the action of the Italian Government yesterday. They did not apprehend any trouble, but chances of an unfavorable turn Tn the negotiations which might lead to the uninvited ap- pearance Tn our harbors of Italian war snips, wasn't lost sight of.
 The Post says: There was some talk last night, among those skeptical as to the true import of Baron kava's action, 10 the effect that the Italian Govern nent had simply taken this.occasion to recall it's minister and allow him to plead dissatisfaction with the United States as the reason for his withdrawal.

 This report was published in this country and aroused indignation. Baron Fava. the Italian Minister, promptly notified his Government and announced his determination to secure the Consul's recall. In Secretary BIaine's absence he was able to do this. Blaine was much disp'eased, but was too late to recall the orders.
