KILLED NUMBER 5000
Terrible Slaughter of the Ital.
ians in Abyssinia.
EXCITEMENT MANIFEST In ITALY.

Rome n City OF Mourning and suiIen Anger,
Ready to Break Out In Open Resent
ment--At Milan Troops Were Compelled
to Fire into Mob aud One Person Was
Killed aud several woauded-Ali Fetes
Indefinitely Postponed.
ROME, March 5.-The kingdom OF Italy
q In a condition Of excitement. grief and
anger almost beyond description. Words
cannot adequately portray the situation,
Tor every dispatch received from Masso-
wah adds TO the gravity of the disaster
to the Italian army at Adowa, Abyssinia.
When the first news of General Baratieri's
defeat reached this city report had
It that only 100 men were killed;
Tuesday afternoon the numbers
ran up to 5000 killed, with sixty
pieces Of artillery captured, and Wednes-
days dispatches place the number Of Ital-
ians killed at the battle of Adowa and in
the long harassing retreat which followed
at 5000, and it Is believed that not even
these figures tell of the full extent Of tho
disaster. In these reports no mention Is
made of the wounded, and there Is good
reason, based on stori Of recent Italian
defeats by the Abyssinians, to believe
those who fell wounded during the re-
treat of over fifty miles met more horri-
BILE fato than those who were killed on the
spot
Rome City o. Mourning.
All fetes have been indefinitely post
poned, masses for the repose OF the souls
Of the dead have been celebrated In every
Catholic church In this city and crowds
Of weeping women and sorrowing men
were In attendance. The receptions, etc,
In celebration Of coro lation anniversary
OF the pope have been dispensed with.
Rome, in word, Is city of mourning
and Of sullen anger ready to break out
into fierce, open resentment.
1t was stated that in number Of places
the police have been unable to cope with
the populace and that the troops have
been called upon to restore order. The
soldiers, however, appear to have been as
helpless as the police and in several places
crowds have been fired upon. AT Milan
the troops, after vainly trying to disperse
a mob which was making demonstra-
ton against the government, were obliged
to fire. One man was killed and several
were wounded. This increased the ex-
cltement and report has 1t that the troops
were stoned and had to clear the public
square at the point OF the boyonet.
