ROME, March 4-The Kingdom Of
Italy today is 10 condition of excite
ment, grief and anger almost beyond
description. Every despatch from
Maseowah adds TO the gravity of the
disaster to the Italian army at Adowa,
AbyssiuIa. Wnen the first news OF
General Bsratieri's defeat reached this
city the report had it that only 500 men
were killed, Then yesterday afternoon
the numbers ran up to 1900 killed with
go pieces Of artillery captured. This
mornings dispatches place the number
of killed in battle and along the hsrass-
ing retreat, which followed. at 5000. 1t
is believed that not even these figures
tell the full extent of the disaster. No
mention is made OF the wounded and
there is good reason, based on stories
of recent Italian defeats by the Aoyssi-
mans, to believe that those who fell
wounded. during the retreat Of over
fifty miles, met more horrible fate than
those killed on the spot. Throughout
the night the garrison here was kept
under arms and mounted patrols trsver-
sed the priooipal streets. The streets
were filed with people until day reak
aud after the early morning every public
place was crowded with excited men and
women. Several disturbances which
called for police interference occurred
today aud Indications are that the
people are assuming most threatening
attitude not only in Rome but through
out Italy. Demonstrations against
CrispIs ministry and even against the
crown are reported from the provinces
10 spite of the fact that the authorities
are straining every nerve to suppress all
alarming news.
Later in the day the news from the
provinces became more alarming. 1t

police had been unable to cope with the
popu;ace and troo ps had zen called
upon to restore orGer. The soldiers
however, appear to have been as help
lees as the po.ice, and 10 several places
the crowds were fired upon. At Milan
the troops after vainly trying to dispense
the mob were Obliged to fire. One man
was killed and several wounded. This
increased the excitement. The troops
we're stoned and had to clear the public
squire at the point of the bayonet. DIS
pitches from Venice say that last night
a crowd assembled at PIazzi st. Mark
and speeches were made condemnipg
the manner IN which the Abyssiniao
camp ign had been conducted and call

General Baratieri 10y courtmartial.

ion against the govern ment this morn

after a number OF arrests had been |
made.
At Padua today the mob marched |
through the streets hootiDg the govern
ment officials and crying for the down
fal of the Crispi ministry.
At Verona there was "a similar demon
strsIion.
1t is believed that nothing short of
the downfall Of Senior CrispI and the
despatch Of strong reinforcements to
Africa will satisfy the public clamor.
Shortly before noon it was announced
that General Baratieri had been recall

that the general should be shct as Cd
