which has a different form OF govern
ment than that OF most monarchies.

The reigning king is Umberto I, born
March IL, 1914, the eldest son OF Wit

The finances OF the nation have been
in bad shape for number OF yearssNnd
there has been an increasing deficit an
nually until now the country Is labor
ing under a debt OF 81, 1852, 500, 900, or In
other words II is practically bankrupt
The financial condition together with
the request for increased taxes for the
support OF the army Is what caused the
downfall OF the Crispi ministry and the
change In the cabinet, which recently
occurred.
The strength OF the army, including
regular and reserve forces, is total OF
2,765. .373 men and officers. The total

of withdrawal OF Baron Faya and Secro-
tary Blaine's reply;
ROYAL LEGATION OF ITALY,
WAsHINGTON. March 81, 1891
Mr.. Secretary Of State.
BY my two notes OF the 18th and 18th
inst. / had the honor OF calling your
excellency's attention TO the occurrences
OF exceptional gravity which took place
at New Orleans on tho l4th. whereby
four subjects Of the king OF Italy, who
were confined in the prison Of that city,
were massacred by the crowd. under
the leadership Of two American citi-
zens.
After having formally protested
against the uniustiiable conduct OF the
local authorities, who were evidently
reereant TO all their duties on that Oc-
casion, reserve to the government OF
his majesty the right to demand such
satisfaction as il might think proper,
since the occurrences In question con-
stituted patent violation OF the stipu-
lations OF the treaty in force between
our two countries which secures to
Italian subjects residing in the United
States the same protection that Is en-
ioyed by American citizens and which
has always been extended 10 the latter
in Italian territory.
The reparation demanded by the
government OF The king, as have had
the honor to inform you. in our inter
views held during the last few days,
was to consist OF the following points:
First-The official assurance by the
federal government that the guilty
parties should be brought TO Justice.
Second-the recognition, in principle
that an indemnity is due TO the relatives
OF the victims
Your excellency was pleased 10 de-
clare to me that as the federal gorern-
ment did not think It could take this
view OF the case, 1t declined TO take the
two Aforesaid demands into considera-
tion. Under these circumstances, the
government Of his majesty, considering
that the legitimate action Of the kings
minister at Washington becomes in
eiiicacious, has ordered me TO take my
leave.
In obedience to the instructions which
I have received, have the honor to
announce TO your excellency that ! am
going to leave Washington as speedily
as possible, leaving the Marquis I'm
periali, his majesty's secretary Of lega
tion, In charge of the current business
Of the royal legation.
BE pleased to accept. Mr.. Secretary
OF State, the renewed assurance Of my
highest consideration.

WASHINGTON, April THE SUI

States for the district OF Colorado in
favor OF the Maxwell land grant com
pany, and in a suit brought against that
company BY the Interstate Land compa-
ny 70 recover large tract OF land In
Las Animas county, Colorado. In the
course OF an opinion by Justice Lamar,
the court holds that the question af-
fecting the validity OF the Max
well land grant are no longer
open but that the action of congress,
Of the land department, OF the courts,
have settled the question forever. In
order 10 acquire title TO any part OF the
Maxwell land grant the court holds
that claimants must show grant from
the Mexican government ante-datiug
that under which the Maxwell company
holds titles. The Interstate Land com
pany claims title under a grant made to
ROyeula and Beales in 1892 This grant
was made on certain conditions as TO
planting colonies. Before the time for
the fuliillment OF these conditions and
arrangements botween them and the
grantors operated as a grant ia fee to
the contractors OF the entire tract, EN-
embracing about 10000, 900 acres. The
Maxwell company contonded that the
conditions OF the grant were precedent
and that therefore, no title passed TO
the contractors until the conditions
were fulfilled. II is also claimed that
the grant simply named this tract OF
6OOOoO00 acres as country within
which colonies were 10 DO planted.
and that contractors were only TO re-
ceive selections from this tract, the
amount Of selections being governed by
the number OF families colonized. The

President Polk OF the alliance was
interviewed recently by a correspondent
OF the Cincinnati Enquirer who report
ed him as saying. II believe we will
n have a candidate for president and vice
president In 1892 ana il 10 mistakts are
made | firmly believe we viii elect the
next president OF the United States -
This was shown TO Col Polk who says
that he said nothing of the kind He
holds that any new party or any indie

THE DUILIo

Is such a vessel. At the time OF her
launching in 1876 she was the largest
war shipi in the world, and when the
Dandolo. her twin, was put ahoat in
1873. the two had no near rivals In any
navy. She has a displacement of II, ,l3s
tons. and she can carry 1000 tons Of
coal, which viii enable her to steam
3, 760 knots at a speed Of ten knots an
hour. Her maximum speed is fifteen
knots an hour. Her guns are four H.
72-inch l00-ton muzzle-loading rifles.
three 4.7-inch breech-loading rifles, and
fourteen machine guns. She has also
.hree fixed torpedo tubes for discharg-
ing Whitehead or other similar tor
pedos She has twin screws an engines
Of : 800 horse power.
In the design Of the DuiliO and
Dandolo the chief result in view was to
combine the thiekcst armor and tn
most powerful guns ever put into a
ship. IL Was declared impossible that
such heavy arnor as was desired should
be used all over the ship, hence the
midship belt on the water line extend
only far enough TO protect the engines

Italv.s Irirhtinr AbIlltv.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 6.-The
American people have generally an
erroneous idea OF the Italian navy.
While il does not contain as many ships
as the navy OF England or that OF
France, it has probably tho most gem
eraiiv efficient vessels afOat Italyhlid
not begin to build her new vessels until
the experiments made by other nations
had enabled her to decide upon types
that, even IN the light of more modern
naval construction, are the most formi-
dable in the world. She has, either
finished or well advanced, twenty-five
armoured ships. OF these, ten are
modern built having a displacement Of
II, 900 tons or more each. They have a
speed Of more than fifteen and one-half
knots, and carry the heaviest guns
afoat, namely. Armstrong breech-load-
ing rifles of thirteen to seventeen inch
caliber. Her unarmored navy aaOat
contains twelve modern cruisers and
ten gunboats. launched since 1880, and
she has seven cruisers and several gun
boats building. Although two OF her
largest and most powerful battle ships
were launched as far back as lS70-5S,
they arc far from being obsolete.

OTHER WAR SHIPS.

Besides these battle ships Italy has
three ships Of generally similar design
to the Duilio, namely-the Andrea
Doria, the Francesca Morosini and the
Ruggiero di LAURA; also the Re Um-
berto, somewhat similar TO the Lepanto.
The Stella and the Sardegna, building
on the Re Umberto designs, are not
yet finished.
OF older types OF armored ships she
has the Affondatore Of 4, 376 tons; the
Ancona, the Castelidardo, the Maria
Pia and the San Martino, OF about 4, 200
tons each; the Principe Amadeo and
Roma, Of 5,Sl4 tons each: the Formida-
bile and the Terrible, Of 2,735 tons
each, and the Varese OF 1900 tons.
Most OF these are about on a par with
our old monitors, except that they
carry much better batteries than our
monitors do.
Italy has some Of the finest cruisers
In tho world, notably the Piemonte and
the Giavanni Bausan.

citadel.
WHAT rnE pUILIo CAN DO.

WHAT THE DUn.IO CAN DO.
AS the Duilio could train her four
largest guns and two Of the 4.7-inch
guns on an object abeam she could
deliver at one charge about 8, ,065 pounds
OF metal at an enemy A range OF at
least twelve miles could probably be
secured with the heaviest OF her guns
by giving a sufficient elevation, thus
insuring her power 10 she'll New York
city and Brooklyn from the open sea,
Such elevation could be given only by
heeling the ship over considerably, as
the normal maximum elevation Is not
more than Is degrees.
Tho Lepanto, Is also one Of pair the
Italia being her twin. The Lepanto has
a displacement of 1850 TONS She is
built OF steel and carries q water line
belt OF compound armor amidships six
teen inches thick and q central citadel
of compound armor nineteen inches
thick. The arrangement OF turret Is
similar to that in the Duillo, but the
-four turret guns are modern l7-inch
breech-loading rides, and she has also
eight 5.0-inch breech-loading rifles,
eighteen machine guns and four torpedo
tubes. Her maximum speed Is 1888
knots an hour, and with 1850 tons Of
coal her cruising capacity at ten knots
an hour is $500 miles. She has engines
Of Is, 900 horse power and twin screws.
The weight OF metal deliverable at one
discharge on one beam or the other
would be 1000 pounds for each OF the
four l7-inch guns and eighty pounds for
each OF the four 5,9-inch guns that
would bear, making total OF 1920
pounds.
