HOW 1T WAS DONE.
Official Explanation from Italy OF the
San Mum Grab.

Rome, March 14.-In the Chamber OF
Deputies today Admiral Csnevaro, min
lister of foreign affairs made a compe-
hensiye statement regarding Italy
action in China He confirmed the re-
ported recall of Signor MARITIME, Italian
minister Mt Pekin, and announced that
Italy had obtained the approval OF Great
Britain and japan before demanding the
concession at San Nun.
Great Britain, however, had requested,
he said, that force should not be en-
ployed and had promised in return to
give her diplomatic support at the court
of pekib
Other friendly powers, the minister
continued. were then notified and indi.
cated their acquiescence. Admiral Caner-
yaro then covered events already known,
explaining that Signor Martino's action
had been uisayowed because his ultima
tum contravened an agreement with Eng
land that only IN the event of Sir Ciauue
Mcdonald, British minister at Pekin
heinp unable to induce the lsung Ii
Yamen to take back Signor Marino' s
first note, should Italy resume liberty OF
action in order to obtain reparation. lbs
expressed confidence in the ultimate sue
cess of Italy's policy and reminded the
cham ber that ltaly's duty was to refrain
from force SO far as possible.
