Officer on the
MIME

First Lieutenant Carl w. Jungen.
one of the Names officers, who is re-
ported as uninjured, is a brother of
FRANK Jungen, the well known Mime
apol1tan. He was appointed to the
naval academy from La Crosse. Wis.
IN 1876, graduated in the regular period
and has been for several years attach
ed to the official staff of the Maine.
In letter to his brother, written a
few days ago, he reveals a condition
of things in Havana which might very
easily have prompted some fanatic to
undertake the destruction of the Maine.
He says that great excitement pre-
walls whenever the officers visit the
shore, and that evidences of antag-
onism are not wanting. He enclosed
a translation of a handbill headed
Death to Americans" which had been
freely distributed in Havana That
the feeling of unthinking hostility to
Americans is by no means unanimous
is proved by Lieut.. Jungen's reference
to very pleasant banquet recently
given to the officers of the Maine by
one of the leading Havana clubs. The
letter shows that, in the opinion of
the writer there is an element in Ha-
vana which would quickly make trou-
BILE if good opportunity were provid-

THE RIOTS IN ITALY.

II appears clear that the term bread
riots" has been misappied In the case
of the outbreaks In Milan and other cities
of Italy. As every one knows. the short
wheat crop In Europe, the failure to get
the estimated supply from Argentina ana
India. and our war with Spain have com
bined TO increase the cost OF living rot
only in Italy. but In other European
countries The Government OF ltaly ana
the governments of some Of the other
continental nations have recognized the
hardship resulting from this conditlon'
and taken steps to minimize 1t as iar as
possible by suspending temporarily 'he
duties on breadstuffs and provisions. We
also know that Italy is most GENEROUSLY
taxed I'm order that she may keep up
her rank among the Powers, and that she
has suffered and Is still suffering from
most outrageous misuse of public funds.
But the advance In the prices Of food
I'm Italy has not been so great, nor has
the suffering there been so widespread, as
to account for the rioting-or rather, we
nigh: say. the revolution, for in Milan
the upheaval amounted to that. almost.
The fact seems 10 be that higher prices
and distress" were simply made pre-
text for an outbreak of socialism which,
reduced TO its last analysis, was an out
break of anarchy.
The rioters were not driven 10 despera-
ton by hunger and fear Of starvation, but
were inspired by spirit of antagonism
TO governmental authority and the social
order. This, the government seems to
have thoroughly understood judging from
the summary manner in which it has
dealt with the mobs. AT last accounts 1t
was master Of the situation, and appeared
determine to maintain that position.
There may be minor outbreaks here and
there before quiet shall have been com
pletely restored but the discipline the
troops exhibited, the alacrity they dis
played in obeying orders, and the evidence
they showed of loyalty to the constituted
powers. are likely to afford guarantee
against further organized violence of any
moment
