EXCITMENT IN THE STREETS.

pontment OF new cabinet
EXCITEMENT IN THE STREETS.
After the adjournment OF the Chamber the
piazza of Monte Cttorio and the adiaeen.
streets remained filled with excited crowds
until they were dispersed by the police and
soldiers who occupied all the approaches TO
the House Of Parliament. Signor Crispl,
after leaving the Chamber Of Deputies, maze
similar statement in the Senate, whieh
adjourned sine de-
King Humbert has already consulted with
several statesmen regarding the formation OF
a new cabinet. Among those who have been
sent for by his majesty are the presidents OF
the Chambers, the Marquis di Rudini, Wis
count Venosta and General Ricotti
Later advices received here from Massowah
show that although the rout OF the ltafians
was complete the extent OF the disaster Is
somewhat less than rumor has maze IT,
This Is said to he owing to the tact that tne
Shoans did not pursue the Italians TO as
mara as was at first reported. and parties
cf stragglers who were believed to have per-
ished are now arriving there. This mas
caused a renewal OF the complaints against
the government for not giving the othcia,
estimate OF the number of killed ana
wounded. which, however. is stiil oehe'eu
to be over 5000.
II sppears that a majority of the generals
approved OF General Baratiers attack, and
all accounts agree that General Aioer'ohe
pushed too far ahead and engaged IN regu-
lar battle, his artillery consisting OF fourteen
guns delivering crushing hre upon the
enemy until the Shoan army dashed against
General Albertone's forces, and In spite
OF the bravery and tenacity OF the Askaris,
they were compelled to recede.
On the arrival of reinforcements 1t appears
General Albertone made a second attack
under cover of the artillery which is de-
scribed as being splendidly handled, and that
he kept the Shoans at bay long after the
| final retreat had been sounded. Eventually
| the Askaris broke and the terrible rout be-
gan, pursued and pursuers minghng together'
running and fighting mile after mile.
Meanwhile General ArimoRdis brigade hau

to deploy or assist General Albertone. Ihe
result was that Arimondis men became dc,
moralized although a few companies fouSn'
gallanty, while the remainder were oniy pas

rades by the Shoans, who cut them down, sho'

great numbers. Later the whole or GENERA
| Arimondis brigade became panic stricken
and fell an easy prey to the Hara tribesmeh
who swarmed up the ridge, driving th'

or shooting them without mercy.

troops But the efforts Of the ofhcers wer'
futile and the rout and slaughter continued

nlayed by the Italian officers and men are re
counted
