PEACE IN EUROPE.
Three Erperors will Meet at Genoa
to Cement Diplomatic

Ties.
Rome. March bout OF the terrible
storm of popular anger which swept
over Italy when the news of the defeat
OF the army under Gen Baratieri
reached here little remains but a feeling
OF great resentment against the Italian
commander. All rioting has ceased
The reseryists who fed from the coun-

OF the government for the class of 1872
are returning and it is not believed any
steps VIII be taken to punish them.
Negotiations with King Menelik have
been opened, and it is anticipated that
peace will be concluded before long, and
the war office has countermanded the
instructions sent to various points for

ger these circumstances Italy breathes
ireer than for some time past and there
IS feeling of gratitude for those in Ber-

days in bringing about this change from

Conferences in Berlin.
The conferences which have taken
place here recently between the Marquis
al Rudlnl, the new premier, and the
luke OF SermOneta, their audiences with
King Humbert and the constant ex-
change of telegraphic messages between
this city and the German capital have
been coincident with the meeting in Ber-
lin of the Austrian minister for foreign
affairs, Count Goluchowski; the German
foreign minister, Baron Marschall Won
Bieberstein; the Italian ambassador to
German, Count LAMA di Busca, and
the imperial chancellor, Prince Hohen-
lobe, supplemented by audiences with
Emperor William.
Out of all these exchanges of views it
is believed has grown a much healthier
state of affairs for all Europe. The Ger
man Emperor is understood to have been
somewhat, if not entirely, weaned from
Russia and a possible alliance of the
three Emperors. and the attitude of Ger
many towards Great Britain, it is antici-
pated, will undergo change for the bet
ter.
This is due to the fact, according to
the report, that Great Britain, when the
situation was outlined to her from Ber-
lin, before the arrival there of Count
Goluchowski, promised loyal support for
the Italians in the emergency and took
steps to order an advance up the Nile
from Wadyhalfa towards Dongola Of

to act as a diversion and prevent the con-
centration of the natives for a joint at
tack upon the Italians.

could have been foated in London. and
the half-hedged support of Great Brit
am to the Dreibund "a support hitherto
involving little else than an irrita ting
uncert;. inty) is rumored to have devel-
oped into much more cordial and solid
understanding with the powers forming
the Drebund.
Now that the crisis is over. it is adj
mitted that King Humbert at one time
was face to face with the possibility of
to almost anything. The condition of
affairs, of course, was greatly to the
advantage of the Socialists. who profit
ed by it to obtain concessions which
they could not otherwise have com
manded.
Three Emperors will Meet at Genoa.
To cap the peaceful climax comes the
pleasing report that Emperor William
of Germany, Emperor Francis Joseph
of Austria and King Humbert will meet
at Genoa in a few days and that series
of brilliant fetes will mark this public
proof of the renewal of the ties which
compose the Dreibund and which is
intended to demonstrate to all
whom it may concern that
Italy. instead of being friendless,
upon the verge of bankruptcy and en-
numbered by tottering throne. is strong
in the earnest support of Germany and
Austria and will be backed by Great
Britain in any great emergency. That
the latter report is true is no longer
doubted here. and. it is added, that a
British naval squadron will be ordered
to Genoa upon the occasion of the meet

Great Britain's sympathy With Italy and
the Dreibund. Finally it is said that be-
fore the Emperors meet at Genoa, En-
peror Francis Joseph will have succeed
ed in entirely conciliating Queen Vic
toria with her imperial grandson and SO
the peace of Europe, it is hoped, will be
further cemented and the possibility of a
European war will be driven further and
further into the BACKGROUND.
1t is learned that the Marquis di Ru-
DIM has promised the King not to take
any proceedings against Signor Crispi
friends that his majesty will insist upon
an energetic prosecution Of the cam
paign until T.Tenelik has been crushed.
There is, however, good reason for sup
posing this to be incorrect.
The statement that Emperor William
of Germany has opened negotiations
with Austria to revise the Austro Ger
man treaty of alliance in the sense that
an attack by France or Germany shall
be the ''casus foedoris' for Austria is
unfounded.
Gen. Baraticri will arrive at Naples
on March p and will come to Rome i'm
mediately It is now improbable that he
will be tried by court-martial.
The situation in Abyssinia is still ex-
tremely serious. Everything depends on
the result OF Gen. Baldissera's efforts.
Sig Cr;sni is making strenuous efforts
to overthrow the Marquis di RuGini as
soon as Parliament meets.
