tions in Africa.
Rome, arch 25.-The senate by a vote
of 100 to has adopted the credit asked
for by the government for contemplate
ed operations in Africa consequent up
on the defeat of the italian army at
Adowa. The amount of the credit is
140, 100000 lire. The speakers during
the debate pointed out that the attitude
of Great Britain showed that the An
glo-Ialian alliance was an accomplish
ed fact, and rested upon a more solid
basis than mere treaties and protocols.
Baron Blanc, minister of foreign af-
fairs in the Crispi cabinet, in the course
of debate on the African credit in the
senate, declared that when the docu-
ments were published the policy of the
former ministry would be justified. In
the meantime the alliance with Great
Britain was known to be an accom-
plished fact, and Italy's security as a
maritime power assured. Moreover
he continued, it was well known that
Italy had now become the effective
bond between Great Britain and the
dreibund. On this double basis, Italy's
safety externally was finally obtained.
She was able, with her perfect free
dom and independence, TO occupy her
self with the interests of the country
at home and in Africa.
The duke of SermOneta, the minister
of foreign affairs, replied on behalf of
the government. He said the position
of Cassala was regulated byWa protocol
of April, 1891.
1.-The rights of the Egyptian govern
ment," the duke continued, ARE sus-
pended, and not renowned. If the
Dongola expedition reconQuers the Sou
dan and Great Britain desires it, We
must restore Cassala." (Sensation)
The duke of Sermoneta continued
that the alliance of Italy with Great
Britain was founded on real sympathy,
but it was an alliance of sentiment.
The previous cabinet, he said. was
wholly responsible for the Italian dis
asters.
Signor Sarraco, who was minister of
public works in the Crisp cabinet,
challenged the government to produce
documents. No orders were given, he
said, by the previous government, to
prosecute a war to the knife.
This statement produced an uproar
in the senate, but Signor SarracO pro-
ceeded TO say: Let the senate judge
between the duke of Sermonet and the
Crispi cabint. If victory had smiled
upon Italy the present ministry would
not have been in power"
This statement evoked a storm of
groans and Kisses from the government
