The newspapers report that at the cab
met meeting this afternoon the ministry
resolved they would resign rather than

outbreaks of wrath.
Popular demonstrations of the most vio-
lent character have occurred throughout

1t is said tonight the resignation of the
ministry viii be formally announced to

( the decision of King Humbert upon what

I formed Signor Crispi that he must have
time to consider whether he will accept

! he conferred this evening with the presi-
! dents of the senate and the chamber of
| deputies upon the subject.
The whole country appears to be as ex-
/ cited as the inhabitants of the capital
and it is reported that rioting occurred
/ during the DAY in several cities. The press
| censor. however, is holding back all dis

/ alarm prevailing and some time must
! elapse before
THE REAL TRUTH IS KNOWN
The war office has been besieged during
! the DAY by crowds of people and is now
surrounded by troops.
Inc offices and residences of all the
ministers are guarded and the guards at
/ the palace have been doubled.
In the main thoroughfares shouting
crowds assemble every now and then, call
/ ing for the downfall of the min, stry Only to
4 be dispersed by the police. Numerous ar
rests have been made and the police es-
cortfng the prisoners to the different de-
/ pots have in several cases been roughly
handled by the mobs.
1t isreporte in the cafes that private
/ dispatches have been received an
noouncing that rioting at Naples,
| Florence and at Venice But no
! confirmation of these reports can be
! obtained. The government officials are
/ maintaining the utmost strict censor
! ship over all press dispatches between
Italian points and it is with difficulty
that news can be filed and sent from here
! except under strong pressure from inf1u-
entail quarters. Late tonight there was
A SERIOUS CONFLICT.
between the police and a mob which
I seemed bent upon making a demonstra-
ton before the palace. The national dag
was carried with crepe and there were
/ cries Of down with the ministry"
! Down with Crispi," Death to Bara-
| teri The government is being urged bV
some Of the most prominent men in the
! country to give TO the press all the news
I IN its possession as it is still believed that
the worst has not yet been told and that
. the war Office is in possession of facts
! still more startling than those which have
l already leaked out One rumor tonight
I has it that the entire Italian army was
7 practically wiped out, and that only a
4 battalion or so succeeded in reaching As
maria. At the war office, however, it FTas
/ stated that this is an eXaggeration
! The truth Of the matter seems to be
/ that the ministers are anxiOusly await
! ing the report of General Baldissera and
that, in the meanwhile, they are sup
/ pressing the facts which reached them
! previous to his arrival at Massowah.
This, at any rate, is the most charitable
I construction to place upon the appar-
entity
CRUEL SILENCE OF THE GOVERN
MENT.
But the excitement will not diminish
I ito any extent until an official statement
! has set at rest the alarming rumors in
! circulation or definitely established the
real facts Ia the case.
To those having relatives serving with
/ the italian army in Africa, the failure
| of the war Office to issue an official re-
port is little less that torture But no
amount of pressure seems strong enough
to obtain The anxiously awaited news
from the minister of war.
An important meeting, at which the
| Marquis df Rudini presided took place
( today. All the opposition deputies who
| could attend were present, and while it
| was decided to support all measures
1 necessary to sustain the honor of Italy,
/ 1T is understood that the government
| will be subject TO the most fierce attacks
( and that its colonial policy bill will come
| In for the strongest condemnation.
In several districts it is reported the
/ government officials in charge of super
! visins the calling out of the reserve of
1872 have telegraphed that they are hav-
| ing q great deal of trouble, and that fur
