VILE Tex. several years ago, has COM
pleted the taking Of testimony and is now

port

timony in addition 20 studying and dI-
gesting the testimony taken by the Sen
ate Military Committee, which also in
Yestigated the ARRAY
II was practically demonstrated by the
witnesses who appeared before the court
that the negro soldiers of the Twenty
NTH Infantry shet up the town. Three
companies of the regiment were dis
charged without honor by former Presi-

EXPLAINS CABINET CLASH.
Premier of Italy Says Resignation
Was on Maritime Question.

Rome. March a.-Premier Sonnoner in
explaining the resignation of the cabinet
to-day said tonight that he wished to
avoid a test on the question of the
maritime conventions.
He feared an adverse vote. ne said, and
ne foresaw that a rejection of the pro-
posals would have embarrassed his sue
cessor and rendered an approval impos-
sible under a future cabinet. He did not
wish to hamper the work of his sue
cessor whoever it might be. nor did he
care to enter into an explanation for the
benefit Of the dissatisfied Left, which is
composed of Socialists and othsr radicals
who were bent upon overthrowing the
cabinet.
The future attitude of the majority is
extremely doubtful owing TO the refusal
of Giolitti to resume the premiership. The
solution of the crisis is one of the most
difficult tasks that has confronted mod

Lewis NJ Iddings. consul general OF
the United States al Cairo. had jour-
neyed this far to greet the former Presi-
dent. who was also met by a number of
local officials. Numbers OF Americans
had arrived here for the same purpose.
and many more remained over to be
present at the reception. As there have
been many American tourists here this
winter. Col. Roosevelt struck the largest
white crowd that he has met in Africa.
The attentions which are being bestowed
upon Col. Roosevelt increase to an i'm
pressive degree as he approaches the
areas which contain a greater white pop
ulation. They DO not. It can be truthfuny
said, fall short of those conferred upon
royalty itself.
EcIipses Prince EiteI,
Indeed. as an example. the Kaiser's son,
Prince Eitel who, with his bride, is trav-
cling in Egypt, is completely eclipsed by
the greater star. and is not receiving
one-tenth part Of the homage which is
being bestowed upon the former Presi-
dent Of the United States.
Col Roosevelt took occasion again to-
day 20 repeat his expressions of praise FOR
the work that the British have done in
Egypt. It is evident that he is greatly
impressed with the results of the irriga-
tion projects which have improved great
desert barrens into rich crop-covered
fields.
After the reception at the hotel this
evening, Col. Roosevelt and his party
drove over to Karnak to view the splendid
ruins there by moonlight.
