Political Situation.
Rome. March 19.-Out of the terri
BILE storm of popular anger which swept
over Italy when the news Of the defeat
of the army under Gen. Barateiri
reached here, little remains but a feel
ing of great resentment against the
Italian commander. All rioting has
ceased. The reservists who fed from
the country sooner than go to Africa
at the call of the government for the
class of 1872 are returning, and it is not
believed any steps will be taken to pun
ish them. Negotiations with King
Menelek have been opened. 1t is an
ticipated that peace viii be concluded
before long, and the war Office has
countermanded the instructions sent to
various points for the hurrying forward
of reinforcements to Africa. The new
cabinet is settling down to work and
the financial situation is brighter than
anticipated.
Under these circumstances Italy
breathes freer than for some time, and
there is a feeling of gratitude for those

The conferences which have taken

and the Duke of SermOneta, their audi

for foreign affairs, Count GOluchowski,
the German foreign minister, Baron

ambassador to Germany, Count PanZa

Prince Hohenlohe, supplemented by
audiences with Emperor William.

at one time was severe enough to
threaten the foundations of the throne.
| In fact. now that the crisis is over, it
/ is admitted that King Humbert at ono

velop into almost anything. This cOndi-

which they could not otherwise have
commanded. To cap the peaceful climax
comes the pleasant report that Empe-

of the renewal of the ties which COM

many and Austria and will be backed

| is no longer denied here and it is ad-
| ded that a British naval squadron will
be ordered to Genoa, upon the occasion
| of the meeting Of the Emperors and
! King Humbert. in order to openly dem
onstrate Great BTitain's sympathy with
! Italy and the Driebund. Finally. it is
said that before the Emperors meet at
Genoa. Emperor Francis Joseph will
have succeeded in entirely reconciling
Queen Victoria with her imperial grand
son. and so the peace of Europe. it is

the possibility of a European war will
be driven further and further into the
| background.
Orders have been sent from the war
Office to Massowah that the report of
General Baldissera and Baratieri on
the defeat of the Italians at Adowa is
to be supplemented by the forwarding
