ENGLAND YIELDS.
Said to Have Agreed to Settlement
Of Venezuelan Dispute.
Pre<ident Cleveland Reported In High
Feather of Result OF Negotiations
which win Render Arbitra-
tion Unnecessary.

Washington, March IA settlement
Of the Venezuelan question has been
reached. IL will be announced az an
early day. OF this satisfactory conclu-
sion OF the controversy the president
has had knowledge for two days past.
Great Britain has acted with a mag
nanimity which commends her to Sc
yerest critics. She comedies so much
that there win be little left TO arbitrnte
should arbitration be necessary. IL is
not improbable that the entire matter
may now be settled outside the Vene-
xueinn commission by the president and
Lord Salisbury.
While the terms OF the alleged agree
ment are not public property yet.
enough Is known, or at least believed 20
be true, to indicate that the commission
appointed TO decide upon the boundary
question and report its findings TO the
president will be out of a job very soon.
In fact. its labors bid fair to be in vain,
aside from historical standpoint.
Under the terms, SO far outlined,
Britain agrees to submit all of the ques-
tons In dispute to amicable adjust
ment, with the president. through the
state department. as one OF the con-
tracing parties. That Venezuela would
agree to almost anything suggested by
the United States has been known oil
along. 1t is surmised that the atti-
tude OF some OF the influential London
papers in pointing out alleged defects
in the British blue book may have had
something to do with the change of at
titude by Queen Nictoria's ministers.
The president was in very high spirits
Wednesday over the favorable turn in
the controversy between the two ma
tons, and said: "The American people
will soon entertain much higher opin-
ion of the fairness of English states
men than they have held heretofore"
The presidents Cuban policy has not
been influenced in any way by the APP
parent delay that has occurred in the
Venezuelan negotiations. The two
questions have not been associated in
any manner President Cleveland Is en-
gagged onn still hunt for facts regarding
Cuban atrocities, but there is no reason

ITALY,s NEW CABINET.

Rudini, Succeeding Crispi. Ia Now Pre-
mier-- Losses at Adowa.
Rome, March 0.--There was much dif-
hculty found In the task of forming a
new ministry. Sig. Saracco declined
the responsibility, while an attempt TO
form Saracco-Rudini combination
equally fsled King Humbert con-
ferred with Gen. Ricetti ~ seven o'clock
Sunday evening and charged him with
the formation OF cabinet. Gen. Ri
cottiyielded the premiership 10 Marquis
iii Rudini and himself assumed the port
folio of war. The cabinet as formed
will he:
Marquis al Rudlni. premier and minister
OF the interior.
Cen. Ricotti minister OF war.
Senior Perazzi minister OF the treasury.
Admiral Raccnia. minister OF marine.
Sig. Guicciardini. minister OF finance
Sig. Granturlo. minister OF Justice
The calling out OF the reserves of
1872 has revealed the fact that num-
bers of them are not at all anxious TO
serve their country under arms. Many
of them are exiting themselves TO es-
cape such service. Three hundred OF
the reserves of this class are reported
TO have arrived in the Tyrol. their object
being 10 eynde the call.
A large number OF Italians are re-
ported TO have crossed the frontier from
Italy into France with the object OF es-
Gaping service.
The Womcn's Moral and intellectual
society OF Milan, has issued a manifesto
calling on Italian mothers throughout
the country TO prevent their sons from
leaving for Abyssinia. Similar appeals
have been issued in Payia and Turin.
According TO advices received from
Massowah IL is estimated that the Ital-
inns at Adowa lost about 100000 cart
ridges, 5000 rounds of ammunition for
the artillery, 10000 rifles and the money
chest. Several millions, however, were
saved. 1t is now asserted that the
Abyssinians and their allies numbered
100000, while the Italian generals had
barely $4,000 under their command.
The Tribuna states that the Shoancs
have made no advances since tho bat
tie. and It is believed that Gen. Baldis-
sera will be able to provide for the
safety OF kassala and Adigrat..
The war Office has not yet made pub
lie its estimate of the number killed,
wounded and missing of the army de-
feated at Adowa, but the general opin-
ion il that the number killed Is about
5000. There are no means of asccr-
tanning the number of men captured
by the Shoans. 1t Is now admitted
Gen. Dnbormida was killed, but the
fate OF Gen. Albcrtone has not yet
been definitely ascertained. Gen.
Arimondi and Col. Galliouo, with about
500 Italian soldiers. are reported to be
among the prisoners in the hands of
the Shoans.
London, March 10.--A dispatch from
Rome TO the Central News says that
Marquis di Rudni, upon accepting the
premiership, renowned his old views
iayoring the withdrawal Of the Italian
troops in Africa within limited sphere,
Gen. Ricotti, minister of war, the dis
patch says. has also abandoned his pro-
posed reduction OF the army corps.
II Is probable that Sig. Vnnosta will be-
come minister of foreign affairs.

USED roo MUCH POWDER.
Green Bank Robbers BLOW Up the whole
Bank building.

Dayton. o., March News has just
been received here OF an attempt to rob
the First national bank at Germantown,
this county, at 1880 Wednesday morn
ing.
The robbers were evidently green at
the business and used SO much giant
powder that the bank was wrecked.
The town was aroused and the robbers
fled. The door Of the vault, weighing
500 pounds, was thrown 80 feet. The
vault contained $4,000 In cash and
many valuable bonds and other secure
ties. The greatest mystery Is how the
robbers escaped being blown TO pieces.
