Austria's Attitude Defined

Rome, via Paris, March 19, $40 A.
M.-What purports TO be an outline of
Austria's attitude with relation to the
cession of territory to Italy is contained
in dispatch to the "Tribuna, dated
Vienna, but telegraphed from the from
tier. The statement is made that Aus.
tria, without rejecting upon Italian
good faith, contends il is only natural
that the dual monarchy, if she is ready
TO grant territorial compensation, should
wish to insure Italian neutrality. For
this reason the dispatch says, Austria
feels she should carry out her part of
the proposed agreement only when an
Italian pledge of neutrality is fulfilled,
especially in view of the fact that the
eesSion of the province of Trent would
imply a weakening of Austrian military
resources with regard to Italy.
Commenting ufon this report the
Tribuna' says the condition which
Austria demands is absolutely inac.
eeptable and if maintained would make
impossible any friendly agreement. No
ministry would accept as a satisfaction
of national aspirations simple promise
to be carried out at the end of war.
the results of which no one can foresee,
