feet that there are differences Of opin-
ion between Premier SalandTa and
some of his ministers, especially Baron
Sonnino, the Foreign Minister. The
"Giornale d.talia" says the accord be
tween the ministers is perfect. Both
Premier Salandra and Baron Sonnlno
in the Council of Ministers Informed
their colleagues concerning all the
phases Of the delicate all difficult ne
gotiations and the obstacles that had
to be overcome, and received their full
adhesion TO all the resolutions which
had been taken with d view TO accom-
plishing the national programme, &C
cording to the newspaper.
Mobs Parade Streets.
Troops were called out tonight to
disperse a great crowd of war enthusi-
asts who paraded the principal streets,
crying Down with AUSTRIA" down
with Giolitti." and cheering for Salan-
dra and Sonnino. Most of the persons
in the throng apparently felt the great
est animosity toward former Premier
Giolitti, who is regarded as the leader
of the peace party. An attempt was
made to storm his residence. but 1t
was frustrated by soldiers. The crowd
jeered as it passed the German kc-
clesiastical College.
Demonstrations similar to that in
the capital are occurring in the larger
towns throughout the country. Clashes
with those who favor neutrality have
been prevented several times by the
Intervention of troops and the ponce.
Final decision as 10 whether Italy snail
declare war or remain neutral rests
with King Victor Emmanuel. The Ital-
ian constitution gives to the sovereign
alone authority to declare war, make
peace and conclude treaties"
King May Act Alone.
There is d diversity of opinion in
the capital, however as 20 whether
action by his majesty should be pure
" formal or simply in accordance with
| the decision reached by his ministers.
| Those who favor making his constltu-
| tional prerogative more than matter
/ Of form are urging that as ron as
Austria makes its final decision re-
garding territorial concessions the
/ Cabinet shall ask the King TO take
supreme command and rely on his
judgment
Apparently, however, a majority OF
the people believe the Cabinet must
assume the responsibility one way or
decision will be sustained almost unan-
imously by Parliament and :he coun-
try.
Political Parties Quiet.
The two great political bodies in
Italy, that in favor Of war and tina;
which believes the country should re-
main neutral to attain its national
aspirations, have up to the present
time refTained from any direct en-
deavors TO interfere with the delibera-
tions of or the conclusions to be
reached by the Cabinet, and this in
spite of the very agitated discussion
Of these national questions which is
going on from one end of the kingdom
TO the other.
The groups fsvoring war are Che
Democrats, the Radicals, the Repub-
licans, the Nationalists. the Reform
Socialists and the Moderates. Those
on the other side of the question are
the Catholics, the lntansigeant Social
lists, the Conservatives and the sup
porters Of former Premier Giolitti. who
Is still firmly convinced that war we,
can be avoided by the obtaining from
Austria of adequate concessions.
