Governments Policy Is Criticised by
the Opposition.

the Opposition.
ROME, Dec. 12.-Tn the chamber of dep
uties today, during the budget debate,
Sgr Barzila, Leftist, discussing the
government policy towards China, said:
Italy has obtained nothing from China
and China has become laughter toward
Italy than towards any other European
power. Half the Italian fleet has been re-
called from Chinese waters, and now it
would be better for the remainder to be
recalled, as no half course is open under
present conditions"
Marquis Visconti-Venosta,- minister Of
foreign affairs, replying, said:
Italy is loyal and faithful to her al
liances, which continue to be the immov-
able basis of her foreign policy Expert
ence has proved that the triple alliance
is able to provide for the maintenance of
peace in Europe, which has been no COM
mon task. Moreover, Italy has secured
the good will of France, while maintain
ing the traditional friendship of Great
Britain. So far as China is concerned
Italy does not wish to enter upon the
path of territorial occupa ton. 1t is only
proposed to favor initiative with a view of
developing Italian commerce, and in this

HAVANA WIDOWS HOME.
Right of Americans to Control 1t Is
Disputed.


HAVANA, Dec. 12.-For several weeks
the local papers have been asserting that
the Americans, in taking it upon them
selves to manage the widows home in
Havana, are interfering with the control
of private property. Those who make
this charge assert that the institution
was built by private subscription for the
widows of Spanish officers. Senior Sa-
grario, the Spanish consul general, re-
Gently made a similar representation to
Gen. Ludlow. The latter sent him the
following reply:
All the available archives and records
show conclusiyely that the institution
was built at the public expense, and un-
til 1898 the building was used for public
offices. VIII you kindly furnish proof to
the contrary if it exists"
The home seems to have been forgotten
in the pressure Of business at the time
of the governmental transfer, as other
wise the widows would not have been
left without the means of subsistence,
which was the condition from which the
Americans rescued them.
