eign Affairs, Chancellor Won Caprivi and
the Emperor resulted in q promise of Ger
man support for italian finances on condi-
tion that the Italian army and navy be sus-
tained at their present strength.
King Rumbert proposed large reduction
in the army, reported to be as much as
80, 900 men, pleading the absolute financial

ments were still a matter of reserve.
Signor Brin declined to say anything as

that the new italian Ministry would be
strengthened by the friendly attitude of the
German Government. According to the
Foreign Office here, Italy will be fnanci-
ally strong if she gets time to arrange her
affairs The Emperor's resolution to main
tain the credit of Italy for the sake of the
Triple Alliance constitutes a leading ele-
nent toward restoring financial order.

tHe officers, Queen Marghetta proceeding

criek upon the bethrothal OF her daughter,
Princess Margaret, to Prince Frederick
Charles. The Court circle here views the
match as not a great catch for the Princess.
