KING HUMBERT ANGRY
The Italian Monarch Objects
to the Tone of the
American Press
The Rudini Cabinet is Hurt
by Comment on the
Recent Difficulty
An Immediate Answer De-
manded TO Marquis di
Rudini'S Last Note

WAsHrNGToN, April IA Rome special
says; The Rudini cabinet is deeply
hurt by American commcut on the Italian
dniculty,and there is consequently feel
ing in favor Of aggressive measures.
The statement that American utter
anccs have had an influence in provoking
hostile feeling is confirmed. la addition
to the press dispatches the consul general
at New York has kept his government
fully informed Of the editorial expressions
Of the press of that city. These are con-
sidcrcd as extremely obnoxious in their
tone of contempt for ltaly's strength,
both naval and military.
The caricaturc which is said to have
given personal olTcnSc to King Iumbert
crown on its head and features bearing a
resemblance to those of the king. The
clerical or vatican faction are alleged to
have circulated widely woods cuts Of
these caricaturcs, as showing American
hatred and contempt for the quirinal
Altogether whatever will be the outcome
of the difficulty. the feeling toward Amer
| lea in high Italian circles is very bitter
Among the classes the publication Is
having "A contrary effect. The people
! seem TO anticipate that the gates Of the
| American paradise are about to be shut
on Italians and there is rush to get in
| before they close. The ports are thronged
with intending emgrants, and families
| from the patriarch To the babe can be
seen trudging along the highways that
! lead to the point OF departure. The au-
| thOrities are making efforts TO discourage
emigration, but without effect for moth
! ing short Of bayOnctS can stem the tor
! rent Most Of the emigrantS are said u
| be hard working and worthy peasants,
but very ignorant and dirty. The in
crease of taxes has also tended TO pro-
mote emigration.
! Contrary TO the general impression, the
Italian army is in much more efficient
condition than the navy, the discipline
! being very severe and the troops perfect
as far as drill is concerned. The mixture
Of the troops has. however tendency Ia
lower the standard. The ltaliaus OF
the south are. as rule, very much in
fcriOr to those of the north, and have, sd
far. won most of ltaly'S successes.
Notwithstanding the enormous deficit
i'm the treasury and the murmuring Of tax
PAYERS against the heavy burden they are
already compelled TO bear, the government
has begun the construction Of four first
class cruisers, work upon which will b'
pushed to completion with all possible eN
pcdit on.
