ROME, Italy, March 6.-Rioting
continued last night in nearly
every city in Italy, although rain
storm cleared the streets Of the
capital. At Milan a large mob
marched through the principal
streets, smashed windows right
and left, yelling excavations on
Crispi and his ministers, and call.
ing for the trial and prompt execu-
ton Of General Bsratierl.
The rioters went to the railroad
station with the intention OF pre-
venting the departure OF the army
reserve, and an attempt was made
to break into the depot. A number
Of sharp encounters between riot
ers and soldiers and police fol-
lowed. The soldiers and carabin-
GERS were pelted with stones. and
bayonets and swords were used to
drive back the crowds. A number
of soldiers and policemen were in
jured, and scores OF rioters
wounded.
There is today marked inn
provement in the demeauor OF the
populace here. Business proceeds
as usual and the only evidence OF
recent disturbances are the strong
additional guards Of soldiers on
duty about the palace and public
buildings.
There was serious rio ing at Par
ma last night. The municipal
buildings were besieged by mobs,
windows were smashed and a num-
Der of lively fights took place be-
tween police and the populace and
troops were compelled to fire
volley over the heads of the rioters,
who scattered in all directions.
There were number OF meetings
here last night Of different
branches OF the opposition, and
group OF members OF the Right
party passed resolutions demand
ing the complete abandonment OF
Erythea as it is said retention
would only iuvolve a waste OF
money aud men.
Marquis Di Rudini is now looked
upon as likely to yield to represen'
tations OF his friends and consent
to undertake the formation OF a
new cabinet, with General Ricotti
as minister OF war. The latter has
held that portfolio three times and
is credited with having greatly in
creased the efficiency of the italian
army.
The Popolo Romano this morn
ing says anxiety is felt for the
safety of the italian garrison Of
Adrlgat aud another great disas-
ter is feared. The troops there
have only three days supplies Of
provisions and are surrounded by
the Sloane army. Unless prompt
~ relieved Adrigat must fall.
The work Of dispatching rein
forcements to Msssowsh is being
pushed with vigor; on board the
chartered transports gangs OF men
relieve each other and the fitting
out of these vessels continues day
and night. The army reserve men
Just called will relieve regiments
now doing garrison duty and the
soldiers thus rendered available for
active service will be shipped to
Africa.
Among the military men there
is strong sentiment In favor OF
pushing the campaign in Africa to
the utmost, even il is necessary to
call out sill the army reserves and
send fifty thousand additional
troops to Abyssinia, but the sober
minded representatives OF the
business community advocate
policy of peace, even IL it is neces-
ssry for Italy's pride to suf-
fer in order to obtain these ends.
The masses, as rule, are opposed
to any further sacrifice OF the lives
OF Italian soldiers and they are in
sympathy with those who favor
complete change in the colonial
policy of Italy. In the meantime
the financial situation is alarming
all those who contemplate 1t, and
this, 1t ia hoped, may have the ef-
feet Of bringing about the adoption
of a policy Of Cancellation and econ
omy.
