the military authorities to try Gen.
BaratierI by court martial.
At Venice this morning there was
popular demonstration against the
government and the mob was only dis
porsed by tho police with the greatest
difficulty and after number of arrests
had been made. Advices received here
from Padua say that there was a riot
Gus demonstration there to-day and
that the police had to interfere to re-
store order. A mob marched through
the streets. hooting the government
officials and CRYING for the downfall OF
the Crispi ministry.
At Verona there was similar demon
stration against the government and a
| number OF Socialists were arrested for
stoning the police and uttering sedi-
tious cries.
At Rovigo and, in fact, nearly every
| city Of Importance throughout Italy
| the troops are confined to barracks to-
day and every precaution possible ia
being taken to prevent disorder. 1t ia
| believed, however, that nothing short
Of the downfall Of Senior Crispi and
| the dispatch of strong reinforcementa
to Africa will satisfy public clamor.
Shortly before noon to-day it was
announced that Gen. Baratieri had
been recalled to Rome and that upon
his arrival here his conduct in the
present campaign and the defeat at
| Adowa will be inquired into.
| The Socialists declare that the
| general should be ehot as an example
| to others and that the Minister of War
should share his fate.
Con. Baldisera, who has assumed
command of the Italian troops in
Africa, is preparing report on the
battle Of Adowa, which will be for
warded az promptly as possible to the
War Department.
The army reserves of 1872, number.
ing about so. 600 men, are being called
to the standard, but it is feared that
there will be serious rioting when the
men muster in large bodies at theil
different centres. The people are muir.
muring greatly at being deprived o
the heads of families, who must bt
placed under arms, and as each houl
passes the situation becomes more ant
more perilous. Tho newspapers, as {
rule, are filled with abuse of tho mill
tary authorities and of condemnation
of the manner in which the Abyssiniar
campaign has been conducted. Al
sorts of charges of gross Incompetence,
are made and nothing short Of thu
most thorough public Investigation
will satisfy the people. The War Office
is receiving dispatches from all partl
of the country, asking for lists of the
killed and wounded, but some tint
must elapse before they can be fur
nished. The news of the death o
Gems. Albertone and Dabermida hat
been confirmed and it is believed tina
over 500 other Italian officers Of Jesse
rank have been slain.
