ITALIAN FORCE DEFEATED AGAIN.
AssniIed the Abyssianian Position, but
We're EOrcch 10 Netirc.

MASSOWAH, March 2.-The Italian forces
have suffered another reverse at the hands
OF the Shoans. General Baratieri assumed
the offensive on March /, disposing his
forces into three columns, respectively under
Generals Salbertone, Arimondi and Dabor-
mda, with General Ellenas brigade as a
reserve. Thus disposed, the Italians ad
yanced to attack the Shoan position. They
surprised and captured the passes lead
ing to Adowa, the capital of Tigre,
without much fighting General Sal
bertones column was then adyanc-
ing on Abbacaraima but it was soon
attacked by the whole of the Shoan army
and was obliged to retreat. General Ari-
mondi was unable to render assistance with
his column The whole of the Italian forces
were soon engaged in desperate fighting
with the enemy, and were compelled to
abandon the positions which they had taken.
Owing to the difficulties of the ground, 1t
proved impossible to move the mountain
batteries. The losses ustained by the
Italians are not stated but their forces are
retiring behind Beliesa.

LONDON, March "a Times dispatch
from Vienna says: When 1t is remembered
that the queen-regent OF Spain is an Austrian
archduchess, it will be understood that the
situation excites interest in Vienna. Tho
Neue Freie Presse thinks Spain is in an
almost desperate position. Despite the
resolute tone of the Spanish papers, the Neue
Freie Presse is very sceptcal Of the pos
sibiiity OF Spain's maintaining hostiltiea
against America. Therefore, her only hope
is in decided military success in Cuba
This journal also thinks 1t must be regretted
that Martinez Campos WAS removed.
The Neue Wener Tageblatt considers that
the action of congress will stimulate all Of
the adventurously inclined elements in the
states to rally around the !nsurgent iiag,
which it considers will be of a very sub
Startial advantage to the latter. In that
case Cuba will be lost to Spain. Such re-
suit will b. followed by a financial catas-
trophe The Tageblatt attributes this un-
satisfactory state of affairs to the fanatic
intolerance the cruel persecution Of allen
religions and the merciless oppression Of all
liberal tendencies which have reduced Spain
from the wealthy country she used to be TO
her present poverty.

MADRID March 2.-The Heraldo says that
the president of the republic Of Ecuador

the independence of Cuba. Dispatches re-
ceived here from Havana say that the news
papers of that city are unanimous in con-
demning the action of the United States. 1t
is added that the liberals declare that ban

A number of students during the afternoon
assembled in front of the University with
the intention of making a demonstration
against the senate's action in regard to Cuba
and declaring their intention to
mob the United States legation.
But the authorities got wind of
the affair, and a strong force of police was
turned out. All the streets leading to the
legation were blocked, and the students
were warned that rioting would be severely

CONCERNS LONDON but LITTLE.

Tory Papers Find No Excuse for
United Stntcs' Intervention in Cuba.
Copyright, 1896, by Press Publishing Company
LONDON, March 2.-(New York World
Cableeram-Specal Telegram.)-The London
newspapers whicn apologize for Lord Sails
burys abandonment of the Christian Ar
menians in Turkey quite as unanimously
find no excuse Cor intervention by the United
States in behalf of Cubans shot or despolled
by Spain. For instance, the Tory Standard
remarks: There are plenty Of fanatics in
this country who would risk war and ruin
in the fervor of their zeal for the Eastern
victims. Such are, at least, numerous in
the States.'
There is however, very little interest ex-
pressed in the London press over possible
hostilities between Spain and the United
States; nothing definite to show how English
sympathy would go in that event The Tele-
graph probably reflects the general English
sentiment in observing: "The very best we
can say about the fertile Island upder Sran-
ish rule is that 1t is not worse off today
than two centuries ago. The Telegraph
thinks Spain's best course is IN the reap
pointment of Campos Failing this" 1t de
clares, "Spain will have to resign herself
to her fate, with what grace she can CON-
mand. 1t would be sheer madness to kick
against the pricks and inaugurate the costly
comedy of a ruinous war with the United
States"
In the course of a discussion of the Ques-
tion tonight with members of both parties
in Parliament is sesmed to be admitted that
Great Britain will not feel called upon to
interfere whatever may be the result of the
controversy The following may be accepted
as a typical opinion Of MEMBERS it is from
a politician of repute: you are aware that
the English policy toward the colonies has
elways been that. If any of them, even
Canada or Australasia. demanded independ-
ence we would not fire gun or move ship
to keep it. We think, however, that tho
rebel forces in Cuba do not represent the
majority Of the inhabitants. and Spain Is
quite justified, even in any view. with fight
ing to retain the island.
THE affair does not concern us one way
or the other. but l should think this sug
gested interposition of the United Stntog
would cause some anxiety to the Cantral
American republics, where rebellions are of
frequent occurrence and where they NAV
naturally fear that in future the United
States may take sides with one Of the parties
and prove a determin ng factor in these
changes Of government"

HAVANA, Cuba, March 2.-(New York
World Cablegram-Speclal Telegram )-The
Havana press is more excited today than it
has been heretofore over the action of the
United States senate. La Lucha, the repub-
lcan journal supports the conservative min
istry of Spain. In an article headed Calm
ness and Prudence" 1t says:n
There is absolute confidence in the man
who today rules the destines of Spain
Canovas del Castillo. He has always dem
onstrated that he was amply prepared for
an emergency, no matter how serious, and
that he has the capability and the energy to
compel regard for the rights and the honor
Of Spain"
The Diario de la Marina is very bitter,
after yesterdays display of moderation.
Among other violent paragraphs 1t prints
this: For what kind Of Cubans are the
sympathies CT the American people aroused ?
For those with papers Of American citizen
ship in Their pockets, who steal, destroy and
murder in Cuba. or for the true citizens
who are victims of the bandits?" 1t also
says: I'VE can easily understand the honest
indignation of the Spanish people on the
peninsula because of the unjust, aggressive
action of the United States senate in behalf
of the rebels"
The Union Constitutional also gives ex-
preston of the strong feeling in Spain and
among the Spaniards here.

Comments of the Paris Editors on the
Cuban Situ@ ton.


PARIS, March 2.-Considerable attention is
attracted to the Cuban situation, which for
the present, has the lead in political editorial
comment, and as a subject Of, discussion in
the clubs and other places where military
men and politicians gather daily The FL
garo, commenting on the action of the United
States senate, says, that while the senate's
vote, resulting from the violent attitude Of
General Weyler can hardly be excused, the
recall of Marshall Martinez de Campos was a
double error externally and internally, mas
much as the coming elections Gin Cuba may
bring surprises.
The Journal blames the United States SEN
ate for 'palliating the ouTsges of the insur-
gents, and condemning the repressiye meas
ures of General Weyler," adding Europe
one day, will have to unite against this
method of applying the Monroe doctrine"
The Llbre Parole expresses the opinion
that; THE Intervention of the United States
at every turn is as ridiculous AS 1t is aggra-
waiting. Spain, which compelled Bismarck to
recede, will not retreat before Sherman, the

SCANDALS IN WILLIAMS ARMY
Radical Interpolation on the Murder of @
Citizen BY Bully in German
Uniform,

BERLIN, GERMANY, Nov 1.-THE Rad
ical Interpolation on the recent murder of
Herr Siebemann at Carlsruhe by Lieuten-
ant Baron Won Bruzewiz and other mill
tary outrages ana scandals, and also upon
the question of dueling, was ordered m
the Reichstag to-day in the presence of a
full house and packed galleries.
The motion was offered by Herr Munc-
kel, Richlerite Radical, who, in the course
OF his remarks, referred 10 the concluding
sentences OF the Emperor's address to the
Reichsiag last week. The words of the
Kaiser, Herr Munckel said, could have
but one meaning, and that was whoever
insulted the Kings coat insulted the King
himself. This interpre tation of the
Kaiser's words elected ironical cheers
from the members of the Left and noisy
cries from the members of the Right and
the speaker was vociierousy cheered by
the Radicals when he declared that Lieu
tenant von Bruzewiz was a criminal whose
liberty endangered the safety of peaceful
citizens.
Prince Hohenlohe replied by reading a
declaration from the EN- mperor ordering an
entire new stipulation in the conrt q,
honor, which was in effect that the courts
must not necessarily interfere in a duel.
