IS FRIEND OF FRANCE
RoME,s RELATIONS WITH PARIS ARE MOST CORDIAL,
In Recent lmbreElio over Morocco. vie- tor EmanueI,s Governmenf Did Nothing to Hamper Prosram
 of Premier Rouyier.

Rome, Oct 15.--ln connection with the alleged revelations regarding the events which preceded the resignation of the French. minister, M. Delcasse, the following semi-official communication has been issued here:
 The action taken by Italy at Paris, London and Berlin in connection with the Moroccan affairs was absolutely friendly and conciliatory and in the interests of peace. The action was not fruitiess. as, owing to 1t. France ac- cepted the conference proposed by Germany, which the former had op- posed.
 France accepted the conference pro- posed by Germany, which the former opposed. while Italy was able to in- duce Germany to agree to the fun- damental conditions claimed to be dis cussed by the conference. Foreign Minister Tittoni, communicated this to M Barrere, the French ambassador to Italy, and nothing else.
 ian government will continue to use its influence at Paris and Berlin. for an understanding between France and Germany.
 The relations between Italy and France continue to be most friendly, the French government having em- phatically denied a phrase attributed to Premier Rouvier which was con sidered disrespectful toward Italy, Indeed, as one evidence of these good relations. France will send a naval squadron to Genoa to greet King yfc- tor Emanuel, who is going there Oc- tober 2s. to inausurate the new har- bor works.

Sanders as to the Castleberry situation, in order that his State health depart nent might act more intelligently. said last night, after hearing from pr. Sam ders. that he would probably return to Atlanta today. as he saw nothing in the reports from Castleberry to cause any apprehension.
 Danger Period Passed.
 The case of fever which has been under the surveillance of pr. Sanders at Castleberry and has been pronounced not yellow fever Is that of a boy named Dyke. He was reported yesterday as being able to sit up and the danger period had passed.
 It Is certain that Dr. Sanders will re- main in Castieberry until Tuesday. II is his intention to stay there as long as his presence is deemed necessary Supervisor Brassell last night expressed tho opinion that Castleberry would not give the Health Department further concern although this is at its best speculative.
 If the situation at Castieberry con tinues good it Is probable that after safe interval the, quarantine of the State against the town will be raised.
