DISORDERS IN ITALY.
Letter From the Pope to Cardinal
Ferrari on the Subject.

ROME, May 24.-The "OsservatOre
Romano" publishes a letter from the
Pope to Cardinal Andrea Ferrari, Arch
bishop of Milan. expressing profound
emotion because of the grave disorders
III Italy.
The Pope says: ''These disorders are
the fruit of evil seed, scattered with
impunity in Italy, which leads to the
corruption of minds, the perversion of
morals and detriment of religion"
The Pope could have wished, he con-
tinues, that Cardinal Ferrari had been
at Milan at the time of the rioting in
order to pacify the people and he de-
cIares that he has been greatly moved
by the insults contained in the mani
festo against member of the sacred
college.
1T was not against the person of the
Cardinal who has always exemplified
great pastoral charity, that the at
tacks were directed, but against the
principles he presents. It is impossi-
bic to understand whittier such cam
paign can lead where the social au-
thOrity is shaken
The Pope declares, however, that he
has derived great consolation from the
evidences of devotion of which the
Archbishop has been the object, and
concluding the letter, expresses this
confidence that the Catholic clergy at
Milan will remain under the influence
Of their affection for their pastor.

RIOTING AT MANILA.
The Scarcity of Provisions the
Cause of the Trouble.

HONGKONG, May 24-The japanese
cruiser Akitsushima which arrived
here to-day from Manila, reports that
when she left there riOting had broken
out, and a number of houses had been
burned. Food was daily becoming
scarcer, and hOrsefiesh was sold at one
dollar and half pound The Spanish
volunteers were making angry demands
for pay and food. which the Spaniards
We're utterly unable to satisfy.
The cruiser reports that Admiral
Montejo is awaiting trial by court
martial for alleged incompetency during
the engagement with the United States
squadron under Commodore Dewey,
while the Captain of the Spanish reve-
nue. cutter Callao, captured by the
American warships, is to be shot for not
making resistance.
AguinaldO, the insurgent leader, had
a great reception on his arrival at the
Philippines from HOngkOng. Rear Ad-
miral Dewey supplied the insurgents
with two field guns and 300 rifles, and
at the time the Japanese cruiser left
Aguinaldo was expected to make an
immediate attack
The Archbishop of Manila, announc-
ing in a pastoral that four Spanish war
ships were coming, promised victory
for the Spaniards.
A Sanitary Commission has been APP
pointed at Cavite under charge of the
! United States Consul.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 24.-The
California State Auxiliary to the Red
Cross Society of America was for
mally organized this morning at a
meeting held for the purpose in the
Occidental Hotel.
The various Red Cross Societies
throughout California thus became

cation of workers in the cause Of hu-
manity serving to constitute the inter-
national Red Cross.

parting Oregon volunteers, the money
TO be put at the disposal of the medical
corps, and will later be refunded by the
State of Oregon.
The San Francisco Produce Exchange
members subscribed 81 200 to the Red
Cross Society this morning. The amount
was pledged within thirty minutes after
the subscription papers We're placed on
the table. The brokers' further de-
voted sufficient money to engage band
of music to play in front of the EX-
change tomorrow, when further sub
scriptions will be looked for. No doubt
fully $1,000 will be subscribed before
the day is over.
The Red Cross started this morning

HAWAIIAN ADVICES.
American Troops VIII be Allowed
Freedom of Port Of Honolulu.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 24.-The
steamer Zealandia arrived this evening
with the following Honolulu advices
to May 18th:
Members of the Cabinet refuse point
blank to either deny or affirm the rumor
that this Government had offered the
islands to the American Administration
as a base of operations in the war with
Spain. The details of a bill with the
same object in view have been received
and sent to the Senate in secret session.
1t was drafted by friends of anneXa-
ton in the United States, and sent to
President Dole by the Hawaiian repre-
sentatives in Washington.
Members of the Hawaiian Senate OBJ
ject to the BILL saying that all the Re-
public can do or offer to do is con-
tanned in the annexation treaty. To
pass the proposed bill or even to con-
slider it would SAVIOR of over anxiety,
which would be very apt to defeat its
own purpose. President Dole has no
power to cede the islands, with ratifi-
cation by the Hawaiian Legislature.
This country has not declared neu-
trality as yet. and will probably not do
so. In the meantime, the American
troops will be allowed directly and
openly by the Government all the free
dom of this port. They will be sold all
the food supplies and coal they can
carry off and viii be rendered all the
assistance lying within the power of the
people
The Bennington is still at anchor in
the harbor She is ready to go to sea
at a moments notice.
A second cable bill has been intro
duced in the senate. 1t is in the form of
an amendment of the existing law, and
viii give the Government the right to
grant an exclusive franchise to lay a
cable from Honolulu to Japan to any
other company, provided the Pacific
Gable Company fails to secure the fran
chise and subsidy from the United
States.
Arrangements will be made for a fit
ting reception for the troops passing
through here on their way to Manila.
Twenty-Five HaWaiians will leave on
the next steamer, bound for Utah. They
are to be sent by the Mormon settle
ment on this island. The natives of
Honolulu are complaining bitterly
against the expectation of their people.
