Weak LILLY FOR GERMANY
Empire Is Troubled by the lm-
pOtenCG of Italy.
SHOULD SHE FIGHT IT OUT?
Berlin Press L. Divided On the CUES
tton of Humbert's Policy In Abyh-
stpis-If Honor l. indicated the
Kingdom May Stlll BE worthy
Ally, One Paper Says.

Berlin. March Public interest I'D
internal polftical affairs has been com
pletely absorbed by the situation in Italy.
II is rot alone the dcplorablc revelation
of The weakness of italy as an ally tnat Is
feared lint that the Dpibund may be
rupturcd IL the radical element IN ltaly
should get the upper hand, or mat lney
Kh0uld become practically in the ascendant
through some coalition which would render
ItaIy's part in the event OF a European
war no longer reliable
high Official opinion deems even the
formation of a ministry under the Marquis
Di Ruaini a doubtful advantage 10 Ger
many. Though under bis former premier
shin Italy WAS StCadfast member OF the
Triple Alliance, since he has been out OF
office Rudini has displayed more ana more
q tendency when occasion has oifered 10
criticise the alliance.
While he was in office. IT l. row recalled,
he always treated the DTeibund as some
thing 10 TIC endured, ana il j. generally
believed that King Humbert is really the
solid rock upon which the alliance rests.
PROMISE TO WILLIAM.
1t is an open secret that he long ago
assured Emperor william That he would
never assent to a cabinet or accept
q premier who had not been previously
pledged to the support of the alliance
and that IL would. therefore, require
revolution To shatter the existing rela-
tions betWeen the parties to the triple
agreement
Although the interest OF Germany distinct
" lies in cessation OF the Italian policy
of venture abroad the bulk of German
sentiment approves vigorous prosecu-
ton by Italy OF her war in Abyssinia.
The Cologne Gazette voices the opinion
OF the foreign office in the matter in a
vigorous article, in which it urges the
Italians to allow no narrow considera-
lions based upon merely monetary troubles
10 nrevent the vindication OF the honor
OF the nation.
SHOULD FIGHT 1T OUT.
If" the Gazette says, 1.-THE patriotic
ideal is followed and the forces of coward
ice are silenced, then Italy may still carry
weight in the councils OF nations
The KreuZ Zeitung bames Signor Crispi
for tai king on half measures in Abysslnla
and advises the conclusion of an honorable
peace with King Menelik as quickly as
possible, in order that Italy may keep
her soldiers at home TO defend her own
country.
This, the Zeitung thinks, is far more de-
sirable. not TO say necessary, than the en-
largement OF an African colony of doubtful
value at the cost Of blood and money greatly
in excess OF the advantages TO be gained.
The Zeitung also deplores the financial
and military wea Eness Of Italy.
There is no confidence in the existing
constitution of the country, and il this
feeling is maintained the nation may he
on the eve of revolution involving the
overthrow of the monarchy. strong
hand alone, the papers say, can preserve
Italy from ruin.

Abundant facts are given in the re-
port to show that all climates on tha
face of the earth are illustrated in the
climates Of Peru. The rainless conii.
ton of the Zona SEGA is explained by
the statement that the trade winds.
blowing from the east over the Andes,
leave in those mountains all of the
moisture which they have brought
from the Atlantic ocean, the Montana
getting the first and most abundant
supply. The clouds fly before the wind,
leaving their deposits of moisture along
the different zones as they climb the
mountains; so that when they reach
the coast the last vestige of moisture
has been wrung from them and they are
no longer clouds, but dry parts of the
sweeping winds, and the desert plains
remain sterile, and must probably re,
main SO forever. Thus the Montana
is a tropical forest, which, when clear
ings have been made, becomes excellent
farming country, never in need of irri.
cation. The next higher zone, the ST.
ezra, is a charming climate and yields
readily to the hands of the husband.
man. The Puma, as the higher country
is called, is a cheerless zone, too cold fol
vegetation.
The thermometer registers every
degree of natural heat. In Lima
the mercury goes down to 40 de.
grees in the mid-winter month
of July; and it sometimes rises
as high as 90 in the summer month OF
January. The winter weather is damp
and chilly, making overcoats necessary,
The old Spaniards oppose the use OF
artificial heat, but some of the newer
houses are being supplied with fire
places.
Earthquakes are seldom experienced
in northern Peru, but suboceanic ir.
ruptions have been disastrous, some.
times destroying coast cities. In 1866
Arequipa was damaged by the ripple
of distant earthquake wave, but the
damage resulted mainly from the old
time Spanish architecture. ( he houses
were of stone with arched roofs, which
speedily tumbled when shaken; while
lighter houses of modern architecture
were scarcely disturbed by the quake.
