ITALY'S MILIT4RY DISGRACE.
UpronrlOus Discussion of Abyssintan
Campaign by Deputies.

Campaign by Deputies.
Rome, May 26.-Former Premier Girls
pi, in the chamber Of deputies to-day,
asked permission to explain the circum-
stances leading to the Italian rout in
Erythrea. His remarks lead to an i'm
mense uproar, during which anathemas
were hurled Unfortunately and the
din became SO great that the session
was suspended. After it's resumption
there was repetition of the scenes
previously witnessed. Signor Ferry
socialist accused General Barateri
who commanded the Italian forces in
Erythrea of fleeing and leaving his
troops in the lurch. Ferry refused to
withdraw his accusation, and in the
midst Of indescribable confusion the
house adjourned.
The Italian rout in Erythrea refers
to the defeat of the Italian army COM
manded by General Baratieri at Ado
war, the Italian East African colony.
In March, 1896. The exact number of
men killed and made prisoners on that
occasion has not been made public, but
the italian war office officials during
the exciting scenes with the chamber
of deputies which followed Italy's re-
verses, admitted that about 1000 ma
tive Italian troops We're engaged, in ad-
dition to some 1000 auxiliaries and that
about 150 officers and five thousand
men were killed by the forces of Meme
l1k of Abyssinia. In addition, it is
known that a large number of Italians
were made prisoners. Some reports at
that time had it that the Italians lost
about 10000 men in killed and wounded
in addition to losing seventy-five pieces
of artillery and their ammunition and
wagon trains. General Baratieri, who
commanded the Italian troops at
Adowa, former governor of Erythrea,
was tried by court martial and acquit-
ted of the charge of having attacked
the Abyssinians from inexcusable mo-
tives, under circumstances rendering
defeat inevitable and of having aban-
doned the chief command Of the troops
from half-past twelve on March until
nine o'clock on March 8. Signor Crispi
was premier at the time of the disaster
to the italian arms and great deal
of odium fell upon him. His resigna-
ton was accepted on March "a, 1893, af-
ter a committee of the chamber of depu-
ties had reported recommending "ponti-
cal censure" for his connection with the
Bank of Naples scandals during his pre-

a wife and family. He gave his
nationality as German, but thor
oughly Americanized, and the state
ments were so favorable that she
decided to come west on his money
and marry Koska, if, found true.
She asked what sheE had better do
and again broke into tears.
About three o'clock OThursday
afternoon Mrs. Armstrong gave
Paul a final answer of mo and he
did not call on her again. A local
clergyman secured the transporta-
ton for Mrs. Armstrong to return
to her Illinois home, and she left

Koska was not feeling bad over
the outcome of the affair. On Friday
morning, assisted by some local
sports, he rugged up light wagon
and decorated it with the National
colors, and just as Mrs Armstrong
got into the bus. he placed a hat
decorated with bunting On his head
mounted the vehicle. and drove
around the town and past the omni
bus, and followed it up to the North
western depot. This was done
without the interference OF Mayor
Smith and his staff of police.

open all night to accommodate him
for license and wedding, pro-
viding that it was necessary.
After Mr.. Koska left the hotel for
the evening, Mrs. Armstrong CON-
menced to make inquiries regarding
Mr.. Koska. This continued all of
Thursday forenoon, and during
these inquiries Mr.. Koska was not
idle, but was attempting to secure
men from town to 90 up in the par
lor and inform Mrs. Armstrong that
he was not bad man, but would
make good husband. These per-
sonal vouchers were few, however,
and it appears they went 'agin the
government, to use the vernacu-
lar.
