D~EMEANOR.
The Marquis hi Dudiui Believed to he the
New Frcmicr--Thc Incoming Minister

With I'll. Abyssinians.

ROME, March 7-Riot,ng continued
last night in nearly every large CITY
OF Italy, although u rainstorm cleared
the streets OF Rome.
At Milan Il mob marched through
the principal streets, smashing win
dows on either side, yelling cNccra-
tons On 'rispi and his ministers and
calling for the trial Of General Bara-
teri and punishment by death The
rioters made their way to the railway
station with the intention Of prevent
ing the departure from Milan OF the
army reserve of - of that city and
neighborhood. but the authorities. an.
ticipating trouble, kept the men in the
oarrackS II sent "A regiment of in
fantry to guard the railroad station.
Inc disturbances continued until
: o'clock in the morning. a, which
time the troops, at the point of the
bayonct, cleared the railroad station
and the neighborhood and established
acordon OF soldiers with strong picke,s
at all approaches. The troops re-
manned on duty all night.
Io'day there il a marked improve
ment IN the demeanor Of the populacr.
A proclamation by the mayor enioin-
ing the inhabitants of Rome TO
he calm and avoid assemblages has
been regarded. Business is proceed
ing as usual, aud the ONLY evidence
mere OF the recent disturbances is
strong additional guards OF soldiers on
duty aoo"o the palace and all public
buildings.
Inerc were u number of meetings
iast night OF the different branches OF
the opposition, but nothing definite
was decided upon.
The Marquis hi Rudini is looked
upon as likely to yield to the repre-
sensations of his friends and consent
TO undertake. the formation Of a new
cabinet, with General Ricotti as min
ister OF war. The latter has had tina,
portfolio three times, first IN $50.
again in 1873 and. lastly, in issi.
Gencral Ricotti is credited with hav.
ing greatly increased the efficiency of
the Italian army by the introduction
OF new ornaments and reforms OF va
rions natures. He was born in lsaa.
and resigned his command in lsS2,
after having been chosen leader of the
Right party in succession to the late
Signor Sella.
The Popolo Romano refers this
morning to the fact that considerable
anxiety is felt for the safety of the
Italian garrison OF Adigrat and an
other crushing defeat Is feared. The
troops there, it is admitted. have only
three days supply of provisions and
they are nown to be surrounded by
the Shoan army. Unless promptly
relieved Adigrat must fall, and a fur
ther massacre Of Italians may follow.
The work of dispatching reinforce
ments to Massowah is being pushed
with vigor. The work OF fitting out
the chartered transports continues day
and night.
The army reserve men Of the class
OF 1872, rs soon as equipped, will re-
tIeVe regiments now doing garrison
and the soldiers thus relieved for
duty will be sent to Africa as
speedily rs possible.
The incoming ministry will make n
complete change in the colonla, policy
Of the country rs advocated by MANY
prominent men, and il is determined
TO make peace at any price with the
AbysSinianS.
Among military men there is n
sentiment in favor of pushing
the campaign in Africa, even IL it is
necessary to call out all the army re-
and send 80, 900 additional
to Abyssinia. But conservative
representatives OF the business com
muni,y advocate Il policy Of peace,
II IL is necessary for Italy's pride
suffer in order to obtain these ends.
The MASSES. as II rule, are opposed
any further sacrifice Of the lives OF |
Italian soldiers and they are in SYM |
pathy with those who favor Il COM |
plete change in the colonial policy of
Italy.
In the meantime the financial si,ua-
ton is alarming all who contemplate
1t, and this. it is hoped, may bring
about the adoption of a policy of con.
Citation and economy.
