TWO SIDES TO CONTROVERSY
Private Letters from Rome Give DIFF

of Omcers.

LONDON, May 6.-Private letters re-
ceived here from Rome give very different
complexion to the arrest OF the American
naval officers at Venice.
They say that instead OF thanking the
king Of Italy for clemency in pardoning
the Americans. the United States should
demand an apology, and assert that the
members Of the Ameri colony we're too
eager to take the Itai HtH " OF the sltu-
alton and believed ~, NLTLhe Italian
papers said. ff' m.
correspondent OF the d. f.WO,fs
EELes that when the Unite~ yf ia
bassador first heard the news he ~
clined to let justice follow its course,
on second thought he was touched by tho
probable ruin OF the future career Of the
American officers and. therefore, ap-
preached the foreign minister to arrange
matters IL possible
The action OF the American consul at
Venice, Henry A. Johnson. was much
criticised by some people, as showing want
Of tact" but according to reports which
have now arrived, he acted in a most ener-
getic manner and with proper backing
would have had the officers returned to
their ship. A correspondent writes that
when the consul was summoned in a hurry
after the fight he energetically protested
against the arrest Of the officers and de-
manded their immediate removal on board
the Chicago.
The italian authorities, however, would
not yield the point. The consul's failure
to exercise tact" seems, according to the
correspondence from Rome, to have been
failure to "offer Immediately adequate Pc
cuniary compensation for the damage done
and to those who were wounded in the
fight"
