Prevented Demonstrations at
Rome.
Rome, March 6.-The rioting caused
by the anger Of the people at the con-
duct Of the Abyssinian campaign,
brought to a climax by the defeat OF
the Italian army under Gen. Baratieri'
was continued last night in nearly
every large city in Italy, although
rain storm cleared the streets Of the
capital.
At Milan, large mob marched
through the principal streets, smashing
windows, yelling execrations on Crispi
and his ministers, and calling for the
trial and prompt execution of Gen.
Baratieri. The rioters made their way
to the railroad station with the inten-
tion of preventing the departure from
Milan of the army reserve Of that city
and neighborhood, belonging to the
class Of 1872. But. anticipating trouble,
the authorities kept the men in the
barracks and sent regiment Of in
fanry to guard the railroad station.
These precautions only served TO in
crease the excitement of the mob lead
ers. and an attempt was made to break
in the depot
A number of sharp encounters be-
tween the rioters and soldiers and po-
lice followed. The soldiers and Cara
binieri were pelted with stones and the
points of the bayonets and swords were
used to drive back the crowds. A num-
Der of soldiers and policemen were in
jured and scores Of rioters were slight
ly wounded The disturbances con-
tinued until o'clock in the morning,
at which time the troops, at the point
of the bayonet, had cleared the railroad
station and its neighborhood Of riot
ers. and established a Gordon of sol
diers about, while guarding with strong
plckets an the appro hes. The troopa
remained on duty all night.

last night. The municipal buildings
were besieged by angry mobs windows
were smashed, there were number OF
lively fights between the police and
populace, and the troops were compel
led to Gre a volley over the heads of

dampened the ardor of the rioters, who
scattered in all directions, pursued by
the Carabinieri. who succeeded in ar
resting several of the leaders of the
disturbance. They will be kept prison

There is to-day a marked improve
ment in the demeaneor of the populace.
A proclamation by the mayor enjoined
the inhabitants Of Rome to be calm
and avoid assemblages. which would
tend to develop riotous demonstrations.

the only evidence here of the recent
disturbances are the strong additional
guards of soldiers on duty about the
palace and all public buildings.
There were a number of meetings
last night of the different branches of
the opposition; but nothing definite was
decided upon, although a group of
members of the Right party passed a
resolution demanding The complete
abandonment of Erythea, = its reten-
tion would only involve a waste Of
money and men.
