Rome, June 14.-With the occupa-
ton of the disaffected provinces by
the military forces, order is rapidly
being restored, and it is expected that
within day or two the entire dis
trict of Romagna, comprising the
provinces of Bologna, Ferrara, Ra-
VIENNA and Forli, will have resumed it's
normal condition.
In the Lugo district however, in
which there are many villages, dis
turbances continue, owing to the nom
arrival of troops and at Ancona signs
of discomfort persist, as the anarchist
propaganda is still being carried on.
The general strike has ended, and
the strike of the railway men which
included only a small number of the
employees has been called off with the
result that the workingmen are re-
turning to their tasks. Railroad, tel
egraph and telephone lines are bur-
riedly being repaired. Htavenna and
Pimini have again been connected by
telegraph. These lines were cut five
times, each time being repaired with
difficulty, and they are now guarded
by troops. The railway line between
these two points has been restored by
the use of military train with sharp
shooters. The first train sent over
the line from Ferrara to Ravenna was
loaded with soldiers who kept sharp

Not a few towns, having lost their
gas and electric light supply are be-

searchlights.
Admiral Cagni, who was in COM
mand of the Italian bluejackets on
their first landing in Tripoh, has now
under his direction the quelling OF
disorders at Ancona. 4 detachment OF
bluejackets from his naval division
has reinforced the garrison there. Be-
fore landing, the admiral reminded his
men that they were Italian sailors and
had never endured insults, either
abroad or at home. He hoped that they
would be worthy of their traditions on
this occasion Shortly afterward
mob attacked the station, which was
guarded by sailors, and the bluejack-
cts with fixed bayonets charged the
revolutionists, who fled before them.
When the revolutionary movement
began at Anacona a week ago, the
Anarchists headed by Malatesta Og-
dacom, composed of IS members be-
fore which persons suspected of not
favoring the revolutionary cause were
summoned or taken by force and In
terrogated and judged according to
their ability to prove their allegiance
or evade the questions. Among others
thus interrogated was Count Ugolini,
of Pesaro. who was seized while drlV-
ing in his automobile
The count pretended to sympathize
with the revolutionists and finally a
red flag was raised over his automo-
bile and he was ordered to drive
through the district, accompanied by
a member of the committee nicknamed
eRobespierre" and spread the news
of the advent of the republic.
Anarchist Announcement
The Anarchists published a special
which they called the "Brutus
Gazette" This contained in large type
the following announcement:
"A revolution has broken out and is
spreading through Romagna. The Quiri-
nal has so far escaped invasion by the
revolutionary masses, but is threatened.
The monarchy has been condemned and
may. fail today or tomorrow-certainly
soon. Therefore we must act most en-
Any hesitation or weakness
today is eowardice, treason, imbecility.
