THE ITALIAN DISASTER It's Full Extent Is Not
 Known. How the ShoaWS Shared the
 Enemy. Lured Into a Mountain Pass and Then Slaughtered Without
 Mercy.

ROME, March 5.-Further military details received tonight from Mas sowah tend to confirm the most alarm ing reports circulated, although the exact number of men killed is not yet announced.
 General Baratieri's force consisted of sixteen battalions of white troops, Qtalians) six battalions of native troops and twelve batteries of artillery.
 Since the defeat no news has been received fEom General Dabormidas brigade, which was composed of seven battalions and four companies of ar tillery. Generals Aibertone and Ari- mondi and their brigades are also missing and it is believed they have been annihilated.
 It is almost impossible to describe the state of excitement in Rome this evening and no such scenes have been witnessed since the occupation of this city by Italian troops. The whole population seems to be in the streets and the entire police force as well as the troops of the garrison are on duty. The whole country seems to be as ex- NNtCu cto 'uAO illlNUlU Ol lCut Cdpludl and it is reported that rioting occurred during the day in several cities. The press censor, however, is holding back all dispatches liable to increase the state of alarm prevailing and some time must elapse before the real truth is known.
 The war office has been beseiged during the day by crowds of people and is now surrounded by troops. The offices and residences of all the min isters are guarded and the guards at the palace have been doubled.
 It is said the Italian commander was led into trap skillfully baited by a report allowed to reach him that a number of important chiefs of the Shoans, attended by portion of the Shoan army, were attending the coro- nation of King Negus at Axum and that hoping to surprise those who re- mained behind, General Baratieri or dered Generals Albertone, Arimondi and Dabormida to attack the enemy.
 The latter, it appears, pretended to retreat before the Italian advance un- til the troops were we'll within the

PUT OVER TILL MONDAY Cuban Recognition Is Delayed. War Develops in the August
 Senate.
Cleveland and Ills Finance MerriIy Tanned by Hartman of
 Montana.

WASHINGTON, March 5. - The question of Cuban independence came up unexpectedly in the senate today when Senator Allen, Populist of Ne braska, presented a resolution direct ing the president to issue a proclama- ton recognizing the independence of Cuba.
 It was warmly announced from Sen ator Hale that he objected, and that Senator Allen could take warning that he would not receive unanimous con- sent on any measure as long as he (Allen) was in the senate. This brought from Senator Chandler, Re publican of New Hampshire, the dec laration that he would give consent to no senator who prefaced his request with a threat against the senators in general Senator Allen retorted that his remarks were applicable to Senator Hale and not to the senators in gen. eral, and that he had no apologies to offer as to Senator Hale. Senator Hale said that he would have no vendetta with Senator Allen, and thought each could be in better business than watch ing to pair each other off Senator Allen closed the incident by stating that he would postpone his speech if Senator Hale gave his consent to such course.
 The conferees on the Cuban resolu- tion, after conference of forty min utes, today agreed uon the house sub stitute.
 At o'clock Senator Sherman pre- sented the conference report to the senate and moved the reconsideration of the motion to adjourn until Monday, so the report might be considered to- morrow.
 Senator Hale advised caution. we might be involved in. var not only with one 1atione --,saA Id =. 7ie. S c- without adequate navy and coast de- lenses. There should be great care ex- ercised in giving offense to other na- tions." He hoped the men so vigor- ously supporting the warlikel resolu- tions advocated for would vote for lib eral appropriations for increasing the navy, army and coast defenses.
 Senator Chandler declared the reso- was in favor of the recognition of Cuban independence by the United States.
 Senator Call withdrew his motion to reconsider the motion toJadjourn until Monday and the Cuban resolutions will therefore be considered Monday
 The senate passed the resolution di- recting the judiciary committee to in- vestigate the subject of contempt of court and report the amendatory laws necessary. The resolution was drawn by Senator Hill as substitute for the resolutions for an inquiry into the i'm prisonment of E. Debs.
