Bad Administrations That Have Caused the Sad
 Plight of the People.
REFORMS ARE DEMANDED.
King Hunbert Is Yet Popular, but the Government Must Reduce
 Excessive Tax ation
Copyrighted 1898 by James Gordon Bennett.

ROME, Feb. 4.-With streets full of troops. some marching and some posted at strategic points in case of need last Sunday we might have thought our selves under martial law. It was diffi- cult to avoid making comparison be- tween Paris and Rome in connection with this display of soldiers and police in the heart of two cities which were so peaceable in appearance.
 The reason was the same in each case fear of the socialist or anarchist par- ty taking advantage for the purpose of attacking the Government-on one hand because of the Dreyfus case and on the other hand of the high price of bread. The analogy between the pres ent political situation in the two Latin countries is a curious one to study. In Italy the question is much more serious than in France because it is impossible for any one to deny it is In consequence of a series of bad administrations that life is rendered more than difficult to the smaller trades people and workmen in towns of rural districts.
 This is a black cloud on the horizon full of ominous forebodings for the fu- ture. It is admitted by even the most conservative Italians that it Is neces- Sary for the Government to find some means of dealing with the present sit uation without delay by successive re- duction of taxation. It is necessary to find some means, not only of coming to the relief of the poorer classes, but of giving them some hope for the future. It is the only way of preventing the socialist party from holding demon strations on every preteXt and at any moment It Is absolutely necessary that the socialist sect should not find single rallying point amid the popu- lation which complains of frightful misery, and which, consequently, it Is all the more easy to exasperate.
 Such is the present situation. The danger is not immediate. The King is liked and esteemed. The army is faith full and reliable. The weak Republican party has no chiefs. The socialist party has no means of succeeding by force, but in spite of it's fresh color the fruit Is touched by the cankerworm, which is there and which 1t is neces- sary to destroy before it is passed into the interior, where 1t will do irrepar- able damage.

An Assistant School Principal Relates Fiendish Conduct
 of Deputies.
NOBLE WORK OFAWOMAN
While Deputies Were Laughing Among Their Victims Miss Coyle
 Administered to the Wounded.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WIKESBARRE, Pa., Feb. 1.-The jointly charged with the murder of the striking miners at Lattimer on Sep tember 10, was continued to-day.
 The courtroom was crowded, not withstanding Judge Woodward's order that no one should be allowed to enter after the seats had been filled. The deputies seem to realize the position in which they are placed and are paying the closest attention to the testimony of the commonwealth's witnesses. These witnesses are brought into court only as they are required to testify.
 Many of them bring reminders of the Lattimer shooting in the shape of wounds in legs. arms. etc. One man with eight buckshot wounds In the back, who Is just recovering sufficient strength to enable him to move, was present.
 Charles Guscott, the Lattimer school teacher, who told thrilling story yes terday afternoon, was recalled this morning. He was chiefly occupied In pointing out those of the deputies he remembered having seen at Lattimer just previous to the shooting.
 AIlST lHlS 1uSCOlt pOilltcQ Oul Oy maps and photographs the scene of the shooting; just where the deputies stood, where the strikers halted, where the Sheriff met the strikers and where the dead and wounded had fallen.
 Miss Grace Coyle. Principal Scott's assistant at the Lattimer school, proved to be the most important witness of the day. She said she was standing on the porch of the schoolhouse and saw the deputies line up along the roadside. Then the strikers approached quietly and orderly The Sheriff stopped them and some of them gathered around him, but she did not see any of them attack him. Some of them cried: Go ahead" and few strikers pushed past the Sheriff. At that moment a shot was fired, then came another, and in an instant the volley.
 T saw men fall," said Miss Coyle Some of them ran toward the school house. and when they had got halfway they fell. I do not know whether they were shot just before they fell or if they were wounded by the volley and ran so far before their strength failed them. The shooting continued for about two minutes, and after the first volley 1t was scattered. I helped many of the wounded strikers who fell near the schoolhouse, and did not see any weapons on any of them. While I was helping them deputy named Ross laughed at ne as he walked about smoking a cigar. I said: You ought to go to Cuba

Special Dispatch to The Call.

BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 4.-The Prefect has stopped the departure from this port of the Spanish steamer Ciudad de Cadiz and has returned the fares or passengers booked to sail on board of her. She will be armed and used as cruiser to escort the Spanish torpedo f1otilla to Cuba.
 A special to the World from Wash ington saystA declaration of war from Spain would scarcely have surprised Washington more than did the news that the Havana steamship Ciudad de Cadiz Is to be transformed at Barce- Iona into a cruiser to escort the Span- 1sh torpedo fiotilla to Cuban waters There had been no previous intimation that the Madrid Government intended to utilize the merchant marine in pra pairing for war. The State Department frankly admits that no reasonable ex- plahatloh or this action Is apparent. In Congressional circles the drafting of the Ciudad de Cadiz is regarded as an indication that matters are progressing toward an open rupture between the United States and Spain,
 NEW YORK, Feb. A morning pa- per says: It was stated at the navy yard by one of the officers yesterday that there was more in the sailing of the protected cruiser Brooklyn than has been made public. It has been said in the first place that she is on unat- tached duty, and that for the present she belongs to no squadron, and that Captain Cook is only responsible to the Secretary of the Navy, and that the so-called visits of courtesy to be made by the Brooklyn are merely given as a cover, as her final orders will be to watch very closely the Spanish war ship Vizcaya, which is now on her way across the ocean, ostensibly to visit in a friendly way American ports.

McCardy has sat IN his office in the

open before him, has proclaimed the
gospel Of good government. He re-
Gently closed the book and went over
to the city attorney for an opinion. Let
US note the political intent in this de-
sertion Of the charter, first calling at
tention to the fact that, whenever
proposition is made for the improve
ment of the city or some of it's depart
ments, the comptroller shouts, Char
terri and the Improvement is abandon
ed. 1t has come to be taken as a mat
ter of course that, if anything is to be
accomplished in the line of the ad-
vancement of the material interests of
the city, the comptroller must be
gotten out Of the way or he will bar
the car Of progress with a mass of quo
tations from the charter
Now, after these many years, he has
abandoned the text book of his office,
the foundation of his greatness. At one
push he throws it over and comes to
the rescue Of the inspector of licenses,
a case which must henceforth be con-
s-ueIeC dS at the parting OF the ways
between honest duty and rank par
tisanship.
One Mcintyre was appointed a pa
trolman and detailed as license inspect
or by Mayor Kiefer. One Perry, a
policeman under Doran, instituted pro-
ceedings in quo warranto to Dust Nc
lntyre, claiming that the latter was
ever the age of thirty-five years In
cidentally he notified Comptroller Nc
Cardy Of what had been done and init
mated that Mcintyre had no right to be
paid. 1t is conceded on all sides that
Mcintyre is much more than thirty-five
years of age. The charter says that no
policeman shall be appointed who is
past the age of thirty-five. 1t is one

specifically. 1t was at this stage Of the
proceedings that the comptroller shut
up the charter and sent the commune
cation from Perry to the corporation at
torney for an opinion. Judge Mitchell,
Of the supreme court, has already pass
ed upon this Identical question in the
case of Yorks VS.. The City of st. Paul,
holding that Yorks, being over age, was
not entitled to any compensation. Par
tisan Markham passed over this case
and notified Partisan McCardy that
