the king.
The war Office to-day admitted "at
least $50 Italian officers were killed,
but the officials still refuse to admit
over 5000 men were killed. They say,
however. they believe" $500 italian
troops and 5000 native troops in the

nearly all the artillery. ammunition
and supplies fell into the hands of the

Official and private residences of cab
met ministers. the royal palace, en-
bassies and all important public build
ings here were guarded by troops
throughout the night and soldiers are
still on duty this morning.
In spite of a strong force of troops
and police about the chamber of depu-
ties to-day, tt was with difficulty that
order was maintained. The soldiers
and police were frequently jostled by
the excited populace and had it not
been for the great forbearance dis
played by the authorities many dis
turbances would have occurred
Crowds about Monte Citorio, upon
which the chamber of deputies stands,
now and again raised the cry. Down
with the government" !" Death to Bara-
teri" and from the galleries a num-
Der OF persons were elected by the po-
lice for utter1ng similar cries.
Almost Immediately after the appear
ance of the premier, who was greeted
by cheering by some of his supporters
nd x.f1
ponents. he announced the cabinet had
resigned and the king had accepted
the resignation. The announcement
was followed by cheers which were
taken up outside and echoed far and
wide
Some moments elapsed before the
cheering subsided, and even then the
excited shouts Of the leftists continued
for a time.
Crispi gazed calmly upon the shout
ing deputies as If such a demonstration
was a quite ordinary occurrence and
when again able to make himself
heard, added: ''The ministers will re-
main at their posts until their success
sors are appointed" More cheers and
shouts of disapproval followed, after
which the president of the chamber

crown decided upon the successors of
the ministers. The le1tists raised a
storm of protest against this PROPOSE

impeadhed. The public was entitled to
know who was responsible for the dis
aster dn Abyssinia and there was no ex-
cuse for not making public promptly all
facts in possession of the ministers,
but when the protests had been ex-
hausted the house adjourned, pending
the appointment of a new cabinet.
Each of the ministers, on arriving in
the house, were hooted and the opposi-
ton cheered. The people in the CALLER
les became so disorderly that 1t was
necessary to clear that part of the
house.

fare of the country. Signor Bovio de-
clared that at Naples the indignation
was so menacing that a rising of the
people was threatened. 1t is believed
the Marquis Di Rudini will be selected
to form a ministry.
The utmost efforts of the police and
soldiers to disperse the mob which has
had possession all day OF the Plaza Co
roma. in front of the chamber of depu-
ties, have proved to be futile up to 9
o'clock tonight, and at that time the
cries of derision and disapproval of the
government, of Premier Crispi and OF
he commanders in Africa were still be-
ng kept up by the parading crowds.
