SECRETARY LONG HAS DEMANDED A
STATEMENT OF THE FACTS,
It Is Expected that the Italian Authori-
ties viii Turn Prisoners Over to
the United States.

Washington, April % Secretary Long
has cahled directly to Captain Dayton OF
the Chicago at Venice for statement Of
facts connected with the arrest of some OF
the officers Of that ship Mt Venice. So
far there has been no official report on the
subject TO either the state or the navy dc
pertinent. q fact which causes the officials
here to express surprise, as they feel that
the matter Is of sufficient gravity MS to
warrant an active exhibition OF interest
The statements so far made through the
press dispatches are not sufficiently precise
TO enable the officials here to form judg.
ment as to the amount Of turpitude involved
in the officers conduct. and they are dis
posed to await official advice before ex-
pressing an opinion 1t is fully expected
that as matter of comfy. If for no other
reason the Italian authorities will turn
the prisoners over to Captain Dayton upon
his promise that they shall he dealt with
according to the United States naval rTgu-
latious. for an enforcement of the sen.
fences OF confinement in jail would create a
very disagreeable impression.
~
According to special dispatch from
Rome the American officers arrested Mt
Venice on Friday asserted that they simply
tried to free themselves for defense against
some people exasperated by their involun-
taly upsetting of tables. They denied the
charge of rebellion against the police. The
commander of the Chicago Captain James
II. Dayton, accompanied by the American
CONSUL visited the project of Venice aud
expressed regret at the incident. Captain
Dayton also ordered all the men of the
cruiser who were ashore on leave TO return
