Later Details Show General Bnratieri
Was Not Wholly to Blame.

Was Not Wholly to Blame.
ROME, March 5.-Further details OF the
slaughter of Italians in Abyssinia have
been received here. The report that Gen.
Baratieri had committed suicide turns out
to be incorrect: but it would seem as IL
that would have been the best thing he
could do under the circumst tances, for, If
the darker and darker reports which are
reaching Rome from Massowah are SUBJ
stantiated. he will have great difficulty in
escaping a capital sentence on his trial by
court-martial. 1t is said. among other
things, that he deserted his troops while
the latter were fighting calamity against
overwhelming numbers Of Shoans, and that
he fed to a place one hundred kilometers
from the scene OF the massacre (for that
seems TO be the proper term of the rout OF
Italy's troops), without knowing or ap-
parently caring what became Of Generals
Daborrnida and Arimondi, whose columns
have never since been heard from. so far
as can be ascertained here. The column OF
troops commanded by General Albertone
also appears TO have been crushed, and
that officer is still missing.
The War Office to-day admitted that ''at
least" 150 Italian officers were killed: but
5000 men were killed They say. however,
that they believe 1900 Italian troops and
5000 native troops in the Italian service
were engaged Q7.000 In alb, and that near
ly all" the artillery, ammunition and sup
plies fell into the hands Of the enemies
The later advices from Massowah show
was complete. the extent of the disaster is
somewhat less than rumor has made It,
This is said 10 be owing to the fact that
Asmara. ~ as wa was at at first re reported and par, ~
ties Of stragglers who were believed TO
have perished are now arriving there. This
has caused renewal of the complaints
against the government for not giving the
official estimate of the number of killed
and wounded. which. however. is still be-
lieved to be over 1--WE thousand.
II appears thar a majority Of the generals
approved Of General Baratieri's attack. and

SOCIAL REFORM.


NEW YORK, March 5.-''The Place of the
Church in Social Reform was the subject
of discussion at a public meeting held
under the auspices of the Social Reform
Club in Cooper Union tonight. Ernest III.
Crosby presided. He said that In his opinion
the church might say that the conditions
which did not give men work was wrong,
and that a system which compelled men
TO work too many hours day was wrong.
1t could say further, he thought, that 1t
was a basphemy that men should be COM
PEELED to labor twelve or fifteen hours
day. The great danger TO this city WAS
not Tammany, but mammony, he declared
in conclusion.
Rev. Charles A. Briggs, OF the Union
Theological Seminary, declared that the
prophets were the greatest Of social reform
ers and the Christian church has in the
main been faithful to the cause. 1t was
because of the effects Of the church that
social reform was so much more advanced
in Europe than in Africa. But the church
best it could only exercise a moral In
fiuence upon its adherents. The greatest
work could be done through church families.
Paulist fathers. by Dr. Rainsford. and by
DR.. Parkhurst. The church, he concluded,
ought TO reform itself first and unite to
bring about, as far as possible, social re-
form.
Prof. George D. Heron, of Iowa, said
there was too much mistaking of the re-
spectacle for what was religious and right
eous. Appeals TO alleged good citizens 10
rise above sordid conditions and give the
city good government was one OF the grim
NEST jokes upon the community. 1t was
the so-called business policy that was the
most impracticable, disgusting and corrupt
ing. From a business government may the
Lord deliver the people, he cried. From the
government of the Chamber of Commerce
and the money changers of the Stock Ex-
change, the city had more reason to fear
than from Tammany Hall. Money. he said,
had all but submerged constitutional govern
ment in this country. Christ did not clean
out the temple at Jerusalem with any more
reason than the people of this country have
TO clean out the United States Senate at
the present time. The chairman read resolu
tions calling upon the churches to condemn
selfish laws which discriminate against the
poor.
The last speaker was Rev. Thomas J.
Ducey, of St. Leo's Catholic Church. He
said ii was violation of the principles of
Jesus Christ that immoral men should roll
in luxury while the pure were crushed
down with DOverty.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The decision
published by Colonel Walker. commander Of

joint parade In New York on July A, was
to-day called to the attention of Senator
Gordon, of Georgia, who has been COM

was asked If he purposed to take any action
looking to a change of the date of the next
annual meeting of the Confederates at Rich
mond, June 30 and July / and 2. General
Gordon replied: This date was finally de-
cided on in order to permit the Confederates
who came from further South to go to New
York Immediately after the adjournment and
take part in the joint parade. but see no
reason for changing the date of our reunion
which was called TO meet at Richmond by

changed by me, yet i shall not do so unless

of Richmond. who have been most generous
in making provision for our entertainment
IL will be readily seen that no change can
be contemplated If IL in any measure in

RrowN AGAIN.

Holy Cross net her third defeat i'm the
last OF the Holy Cross Brown series at
Brown YESTERDAY afternoon. The rain
which began 10 iall in the fourth inning
increased in violence as the game pro-
gressed, and was the cause of Umpire
O'RourKe calling the game IN the ninth,
an action which called forth the hearty
disapproval OF the Worcester contingency.
From beginning TO end the Holy Gross
team were totally outclassed and the
game was so one sided that 1t was unin-
teresting. Brown played the finest all
around game seen on the diamond this
year.
The two phenomenal fielding features
of the day were Fullz's catch OF Powers
s'dew DROP with short right in the
third and Rohlnson's sensational one
hand catch of Sockalexis' hard drive to
deep right center.
Pappalau. who proved so formidable
in the second game of the series, was an
easy mark yesterday, SO easy in fact that
II was found necessary to substitute
niaroney in the MIDDLE OF the fifth. Rob-
insol, Lauder and Jimmy Dunno led in
the stick work for the home team.
AS usual Browns base running was
brilliant and timely. Summersgill pitched
pm excellent game despite the fact that
ne has been on the staff of cripples for
the past week or SO.
