SORE OVER DEFEAT.
Rioting Continues at Many
 Paees Tn Italy.
THE ENTIRE MINISTRY RESIGNS.

Italian Forces by the Abyssinians.
 ROME, March 6.-The excitement throughout Italy, ca1sed by the defeat of General Baratieri at Adowa on Sun day last by the Abyssinians, shows but little signs of abatement; however, the disturbances caused by the news of the great disaster and consequent display of indignation against the government have been greatly increased by the call ina out of the army reserves. The great majority of these reserves are married men whose families will thus be de- prived of their chief or only support for an indefinite period. Thus at Milan and other places serious rioting occurred when the reservists were preparing to obey orders, and ill many cities they have been prevented from leaving by force Women and children lead the agitation. Railroad cars have been de- molished. rails torn mp, telegraph wires cut. police beaten and stoned into help- lessness, soldiers attacked and forced to use their bayonetts on men and wo- men alike Frenzied with wrath the people have thrown themselves on the naked steel of the troops. Large num- bers of arrests have been made. Troops everywhere are either confined to the barracks or occupying streets. Night has been turned into day by torchlight prooessions. indignation meetings, ri- otous demonstrations in public squares and in front of many government build ings
 Those is a summary of what has CO., cured at Milan, Florence, Turin, Com oyterrera, Belluna, Lodi, Verona. Par ma, Bergarmo, Naples. Brescia, Venice, Hassara, Palermo, Cremena, Catnnia and almost any other town mention able.
 The agitation has been spread to the country districts. and from all sides como accounts of rioting. indignant pro- tests, bitter denuneiation and loud cries for vengeance upon those who have been responsible for the terrible reverse to the Italian armies.
 The report that General Baratieri had committed suicide proves incorrect; but it wonld seem that it would have been the best thing he could do under the for if darker and darker reports which arc reaching Rome from Massowah are substantiated, he will have great difficulty in escaping capital on his trial by coursmartial.
 1t is said among other things, that he desertad the troops while the latter were fighting gallantly against the over- whelming numbers, and that he fled to 8 spot 100 kilometres from tho scene of battle without knowing or apparently caring what became of Generals Da- bormida and Arimondi, whose columns have never since been heard from, 30 far as can be ascertained hero. The column of troops commanded by Gen. Albert also appears to have been crushed and that officer still missing.
 The war office yesterday admitted that lat least'' l50 Italians officers were killed, but the officials still refuse to admit that over 5000 men were killed. They say, however, ''They believe $500 Italian troops and 5000 native troops in Italian service were engaged, IT, 900 in all, and that nearly all the artillery, ammunition and supplies fell into the hands of the enemy"
 Official and private residences of oabi- administers, the royal palace. embassies and all important public buildings here were guarded by troops throughout the night and soldiers arc still on duty. The neighborhood of the chamber of dTnties is held by strong force of in- fantry and police and every preoaution have been adopted to quell an outbreak should there be one In addition to the crowds of people belonging to this city, large numbers of persons. including < many Socialists, have reaohed Rome from the country.
