Algues. MoEtes spreads hourly. Demonstra-
| tive crowds paraded the streets to- night

! the crowds from becoming riotous
At 10 o'clock thousands had packed the
Piazza ColonnA dossn bands led the pro-
cession Of cheering men up the streets enter
ing the square. and before II o'clock the
| whole district was filed with excited crowds
The bands played Italian and German
anthems. while tho people cheered aud sang.

ton for the Aigues-M ortes affair promptly and
determiuedly. At the same time the people

and await as calmly IS possible the event Of
the Governments action

! Berlin. Aug 2O-Ths massacre Of Italians
| by Frenchnen at AiEues-Mortes on Thursday
| came as sudden thunder from the clear inter-
national sky. Already it has become the sub
! !ect OF volun!nous correspondence among the
! Foreign Offices OF the Triple Alliance. and
| during the next few days probably will be
! made tie most I'm postant incident in this dull
! season among the Continental powers. The
| crucial question is: viii France give Italy
| prompt satisfaction for this unprovoked
| slaughter OF the Italian subiects?" Should
| France decline or even hesitate TO do SO. she
| will be likely to find hersel: in serious conplt-
cations with the peace triangle.
| The srst misleading reports seat out from
! French sources on Thursday night made the
impression merely that a workincmeu's riot
| of somewhat extraordinary seriousness had
! taken place. On Friday Official DISPATCHES
/ from other sources Indicated that the Italians
! had not lifted hand IN provocation. but had
| been killed OF by the dozen merely on account
! OF their nationality and that the French
| authorities a5stainei from any strenuous
| effort to stop the massacre. Emperor william

The accounts Of the massacre which have
| been teleErarhed from Italian sources TO the
! Berlin press are calculated to increase popu-
! lar Indignation and TO Justify the Emperor's
| activity. They are quite different from the
French dispatches. which are believed to have
