squadron which is now on its way to Cronstsdt.

The italian government has already sounded
the principal bankers of Berlin on the subject
Of loan. The response Of the bankers sp-
pears TO have been of an encouraging charac-
ter, and there is a prospect that Italy may be
relieved from a critically serious financial situ-
alton. The good Offices of the German gov
ernment have been freely extended TO Italy in
the premises, Germany being an,iously desir-
Gus Of seeing Italy so solidy placed, financially,
that there may be no temptation for her 70
listen to French proposals or consider French
advances.
IT WAS A DETECTIVE GUN.
1t is stated at Portsmouth that the gun which
recently exploded with such fatal effect on
board the British vessel Cordelia in Aus
tralian waters had previously been found de-
fective and had been strengthened. but the fact
that six charges had been exploded tends TO
show that the gun was in safe condition. The
fact that repeated cases are known Of guns
bursting at the chase under the prolonged
pressure OF slow powder removes all ground
for assuming the existence OF weakness OF
haw. None Of the causes assigned explain the
bursting of the gun.
