Rome, Marcn 5-Reports from every city ana
town Of consequence throughout Italy show that
the excitement caused by the Italian reverse IN
Abyssin!a displays no sign OF waning. On the
contrary in many places it grows greater as the
meagre details Of the defeat filter through the
press from official sources.
Prime Minister Crspi and the other members
of the Cabinet have been compelled to retire
from office that fact having been announced In
the Chamber Of Deputies to-day amid a scene
that can fttingly be described as pande-
monium.
The situation In Rome Is so critical that the
troops have been confined to their barracks. a

might lead TO serious rioting. Despite the pre-
cautions taken. however. there were several
disturbances tonight. but the police were able
to handle the crowds without calling upon the
military for aid A number Of arrests were
made for disorderly conduct.
The popular Indignation is directed against
signor Cr.spi and the other Ministers. who.
rightly or wrongly, are held to be responsible
for the disgrace that has befaen the Italian
arms.
THE PREMIER's BLAME NOT CLEAR.
As a matter of fact. however, Signor Crispi
did not at first approve OF the countrys en-
barking ,on the hazardous undertaking of con-
quering the Abysginians and 1t only due
to the pressure exerted upon him that caused
him to support the policy Of expanding the italian
possessions in Africa. This fact counts for little
now. and the Prime Minister'S enemies Of whom
he has n great number. took advantage OF the
popular feeling to lncite the whole Italian people
SO far as possible. to pour out the vials Of their
wrath upon Slgnor Crispi and his colleagues in
the Ministry. Their success marked. and
II is feared now that the storm they have raised
viii such proportions that II will indeed
be n hare task for the King TO secure any man
to undertake the formation Of new Cabinet
There Is probability that His Majesty will be
forced 10 request Signor CrispI again to assume
office. I'm which there will be a further and
stll louder outcry against him.
The calling out II the reserves Of 1872 to serve
with the cOlOrs has also added to the dissatis-
faction and In some Instances has been one Of

disturbances growing out Of the feeling engen-
dcrcd by the army's defea; and the opposition to
having the young men Of the country forced to
throw aside their means Of earning livelihood
t. take up arms. Many people argue that in view
of all the circumstance of the case It would be
foolhardlness for Italy further TO continue her at
tempted conquest of Abyssnia. but It is claimed
by others that It Is absolutely necessary FOR the
country To carry out the campaign and restore
her tarnshed prestige. They believe that II a
decisive blow Is not inflicted upon the Abysslnians

Erythrea.
