JONES' Position.
WASHINGTON. D. c., Jan. go.-sen-
ator Jones, of Nevndi, was at the sem
ate to-day, but he would not give any
intimation OF what position he might
finally take upon the house revenue
tarift bill, now before the finance COM
mlttee. AS the committee is tie With
cut his vote, and as nothing can be done
without his consent, Chairman Morrill,
decided not to call n meeting OF the
committee for tomorrow, rotwith-
standing II is the committees regular
meeting day. The probabilities are
that the tariff bill will remain in COM
mittea until the silver substitute for
the bond bill shall be disposed OF.
It was made clear by the proceedings
IN the senate to-day that II Is the pur-
pose OF the supporters OF the bond bill
TO delay u vote until the Utah senn-
tors shall arrive. and they admit as
much In private conversation. They
say their reason for pressing this policy
Is the desire to secure as large ma
jority as possible and assert that ns tho
senate is now composed. they have n
majority of from ,three to flve votes.
The probabilities are that tho Utah men
will be here ready TO take their seats by
the first OF next week.

these points:

He was simply field officer in the last
Cuban insurrection, carrying out,
like all others, the orders of his chief,
Count Balmaceda, who had ordered
reprisals because the insurgents had
committed atrocities.
"Second-I have no grudge against
the Canovas government. 1t was per-
fectly justified in recalling me after the
failure of my military and political
plans and admit was no longer in
touch with colonial Conservatives

last a couple Of years. but despite the

impossible for them to succeed alone

ROME, March THE Marquis di
Rudini is now looked upon as likely to
yield to the representations of his
friends and consent to undertakejt the
formation of new cabinet with Gen.
eral Ricotti as minister of war. The
latter has already held that portfolio
three times, first in 1870 again in 1878.
and lastly in 1884. General Ricotti is
credited with having greatly increased
the efficiency of the Of the Italian army

was born in 1922, and resigned his COM
mEnd in 1882, in order to have that
freedom of action after having been
chosen leader of the right party, in
succession TO the late Signor Zella
Naturally in view of the extensive mil.
itary operations undertaken by Italy
the minister for war, at least for some
time to come, is hardly second in i'm
pertance to any of the Italian ministers.
Anxiety For Another Garrison.
Anxiety is felt for the Italian garri.
son of Adigrat, and another great dis.
aster is feared. The troops there, it is
admitted, have only three days supply
of provisions, and they are known to be
surrounded by the Shoan army. Unless
promptly relieved, Adigrat. it is said,
must fall. and further massacre Of
Italian soldiers may follow. General
Baldissera, who has relieved General
Baratieria of the command Of the Ital.
ian army, is we'll aware of the desperate
situation of the garrison at Adigrat,
and is looked upon as certain to spare
no effort to relieve that place. But
the question which is in everybody's s
mind here is, will the italian comman-
der be able to collect sufficient force
of troops to accomplish this purpose,
taking into consideration the demoral.
lied condition of the African troops.
Dispatch of Reinforce msnts.
The work of dispatching reinforce
ment to Massowah is being pushed
with praiseworthy vigor. On board
the chartered transports, gangs of men
relieve each other 80 that the fitting
out of these vessels is continued day
and night. The army reserve men of
the class of 1872, has just been called.
To the colors will also be added to the
regiments now doing garrison duty.
and the soldiers thus relieved for active
duty be shipped at once to Africa IA
rapidly as possible. The incoming
ministry makes complete change in
the colonial policy of the country as
advocated by many prominent men and
it is determined to make peace at any
price with the Abyssinians.
Peace Even st tho Price Of Prds.
Among the military men there is a
strong sentiment in favor, of pushing
the campaign in Africa to the utmost,
even II it 10 necessary to call out all the
army reserves and send $4,000 ad.
