ROME, March 5.-The official and pri-
vate residences of the cabinet ministers,
the royal palace, the embassies and all
important public buildings here were
guarded by troops throughout the night,
and the soldiers were still on duty this
morning.
In spite of the strong force of troops
and police about the chamber of depu-
ties today it was with difficulty that
order was maintained. The soldiers and
police were frequently jostled by the ex-
cited populace, and had it not been for
the great forbearance displayed by the
authorities, many disturbances would
have occurred. The crowds about Monte
Citorio, upon which the chamber of dep
uties stands, now and again raised the
cry "Down with the government ~
death to Baraterip' and from the gal
leries number of persons were elected
by the police for uttering similar. cries.
Almost Immediately after the appear
ance of the premier, who was greeted
by cheering by some of his supporters,
and by cries of derision from his oppo-
nents, he announced that the cabinet
had resigned and the king accepted its
resignation. The announcement was
followed by cheers, which were taken
up by the crowds outside, and echoed
far and wide. Some moments elapsed
before the cheering subsided, and even
then the excited shouts of the leftists
continued for time.
Crispi gazed calmly upon the shouting
deputies. as if such demonstration was
quite an ordinary occurrence, and when
again able to make himself heard, add
ed: tThe ministers will remain at their
posts until their successors are ap-
pointed"
More cheers and shouts of disapproval
followed, after which the president of
the chamber asked the house to adjourn
until the crown had decided upon the
successors of the ministers. The leftists
raised storm of protest against the
proposition, saying the government
should be impeached, and that the pub
lie were entitled to know who was re-
sponsible for the disaster in Abyssinia,
and there was no excuse for not making
public promptly all the facts in the pos
session of the ministers. But when the
protests, had been exhausted, the house
adjourned, pending the appointment of
a new cabinet.
After the adjournment of the cham Der
the plaza of Monte C1torio and the ad-
jacent streets remained flied with ex-
cited crowds until they were dispersed
by tie police and soldiers, who occupied
all approaches to the house of parlia-
ment.
signor Crlspi. after leaving the
chamber of deputies made a similar
statement in the senate, which adjourned
sine die.
King Humbert has already consulted
several statesmen regarding the forma-
tion of new cabinet. Among those sent
for by his majesty are Marquis di
Rudini, Viscount Venosta and General
Ricotte.
The war Office today admitted that
sat least 150 italian officers were killed, :"
but the officials still refuse to admit that
oyer 5000 men were killed. They say,
however, that "they believe that 800
Italian troops. and 5000 native troops
in the Italian service, were engaged, and
that nearly all the artillery, ammunition
and supplies fell into the hands of the
enemy"
