ROME, March 13.-Out of the storm
of popular anger which swept over
Italy when the news of the defeat of
the army under General Baratieri
reached here, little remains but feel
ing of great resentment against the
italian commander.
All rioting has ceased. The reserv-
lists who fed from the country sooner
than go TO Africa at the call of the
government for the class of 1872, are
returning. and it is not believed that
any steps will be taken to punish them

been opened. It is anticipated that
PEACE WILL BE CONCLUDED
before long, and the war Office has
countermanded the instructions sent
to various points for the hurrying for
ward of reinforcements to Africa. The
new cabinet is settling down to work
and the financial situation is brighter
than anticipated. Under these circum-
stances Italy breathes easier than for
some time past, and there is a feeling
of gratitude for those who have aid
ed in Berlin during the past few days
in bringing about this change from
blank despair to great
HOPE IN THE FUTURE.
The conferences which have taken
place here recently between the Mar
quis di Rudini, the new premier, and
the Duke of Sermoneta, their audiences
with King Humbert and the constant
exchange of Geographic messages be-
tween this city and the German CAPT
tai, have been coincident with the
meetings in Berlin of the Austrian
minister of foreign affairs, Count Go
luchowski; the German foreign minis
ter. Baron Marschal Won Bieberstein;
the Italian ambassador to Germany,
Count LAMA di Busca, and the imper-
ial chancellor, Prince Hohenlohe, sup
plemented by audiences with Emperor
William

THE PEACEFUL CLIMAX
comes the pleasant report that Emperor
William of Germany, Emperor Francis
Joseph of Austria and King Hunbert will
meet at Genoa in a few days and that a
series of brilliant fetes will mark this
public proof of the renewal of the ties
which compose the breibund, which is in

Britain in any great emergency. That the
latter report is true, is no longer doubted,
and it is ad1ed that a British naval
squadron will be ordered to Genoa on the
occasion Of the meeting of the emperorS
and King Humbert in order TO openly
demonstrate Great Br;tain's sympathy
with Italy and the dreibund. Finally, it
is said that before the emperors meet at
Genoa, Emperor Francis Joseph will have
succeeded in entirely reconcilfng Queen
Victoria with her imperial grandson, and
so the peace of Europe, it is hope1, will
be further cemented and the
PROBABILITY OF A EUROPEAN WAR
will be driven further and further into
