ITALY SUSPECTS
 AUSTRIAN FAITH
Delay in Negotiations Attri- buted to Mere Desire to
 Gain Time.

Rome, March 2s.-The feeling is growing throughout Italy that, Aus, tria has been, dissemb1ing in the ne- gotiatioas concerning Italian neu- trality and that the reason no con- cIusion has been reached is that the Vienna government wanted to gain time in which to complete prepara- tions for war with this country.
 It is reported but not confirmed that traffic between Italy and DaI-s matia. has been interrupted and that the commander of the Italian fleet has declared that he will arrest ships of any nationality which he finds in the Adriattc conveying supplies to Austria
 German Traffic Halted
 Another report is that the govern rnent has stopped all railway freight traffic with Germany by way of Switzerland. It is believed here that the general staff has had to change it's mobilization plans since military countries. Italian police have been assigned to keep under surveillance Germans who have entered Italy re- gently in what are regarded as sus- picious circumstances
 The navy is now near full strength Twenty submarines have been added during the past six months and 226 aviators have received pilots cer- tiffcates recently. The army now has 300 aeroplanes and twenty nine diri ibles,
 Signor Raffae1le Nesti, who is con sidered an authority on Italian for eign policy, is convinced that the forcing of the Dardanelles by the allied fleets will inevitably bring about Italy's intervention.
 Time to Force DaFdaneIles. ] However difficult, the forcing of the DardaneIles is possib1e,' said Signor Nesti, 9'and now it is merely l a. question of time.
 tsThe present grouping of the Eu- ropean powers will not cease to exist after the war and it can Nbe taken for granted that the allies of today will be the same tomorrow, con I Isequent1y Italy should decide now whether to join England, Russia and France or Germany and Austria
 sItaly has always insisted on talk | ing an active part in anything con nected with the Mediterranean and she cannot afford to look on pas sively while the balance of power in | this sea is altered. It is a fact that German interests in Turkey and Asia Minor will cease to exist when the strait is forced, and unless Italy can show that she is on the side of the IaInes and not of Germany she risks coming out with empty hands. 1 ..Tta1y's beginning, inevitable since the beginning of the war, should now be hastened, as further delay means loss to her interests

Cardinal Gibbons Gives His Opinion of Conditions in
 Mexico.

Baltimore, Md. March 26.- Armed intervention in Mexico by the United States should never take place. We who have the interest of the country at heart approve of the course of the present administration in withholding troops from Mexico.'' This is the declaration Cardinal Gib-, bons, just back from New Orleans, where he conferred with Archbishop. Jose de Rio y Mora of Mexico City on conditions in Mexico.
 Carranza and Villa. he said, are not to be trusted, and no one in terested in the future welfare of Mexico wants to see either at the head of the country There is an who will soon be brought forward and who is the most worthy and the one who can bring lasting peace to the country. He preferred not to mention the name of the candidate at this time.
 Cardinal Reticent.
 The Cardinal refused to divuIge ence he had in New Orleans two weeks ago with the, Mexican arch bishop, saying that it was ia closed Nook and had been taken up with the department of state, with an early settlement looked for.''

There are about thirty Catholic sdioceses in Mexico, each with a bishop. but am informed that about twenty of these with the arch bishop of Mexico City have taken refuge in San Antonio. They have established a seminary there and will remain untnl conditions become set tied in their own country.
 None of us has any faith in Car ranza or Villa. I have had full re- ports on both. They are a disgrace to their country and I know that the people have no confidence iii them. They have ruled with a Villa has pefpetrated atrocious mur- ders. but their rule seems to De near an end. feel sure that the proper man will be elected if an honest election Is obtained.
 Villas Prosecutions.

SPANISH-AMERlCAN WAR VETERANS TO
 DEDICATE TABLET
Piece of Metal Taken From Battleship Maine Will Be
 Placed in Park.

Members of N. W. Bishop camp, Spanish Am ericans war veterans are planning for the# dedication of a tablet made Of metal taken from the wrecked sbattIeshtp. Maine, which was blown up in Havana harbor in 1898. The tablet was presented to the local camp some time ago by the war department.
 F1mployes of the park department are looking over Beardsley park for @ suitable boulder on which to place the tablet. Tablet and boulder will then. be taken to Seaside park and set in the vicinity of the Spanish can non which points toward the Sound.
 At present the Spanish war vet erans plan to have the dedication on May 30, which Is usually observed as Mem orial Day, but which this year falls on Sunday.

 At present the members of the camp do not plan any parade in con nection with the dedication cere- mony. A dinner to the visiting members will probably be. served in the armory in the afternoon. after

 Then Tokio, assured of silence from Picking, Washington and other capitals, began to spread reports of the hand which Germany was said to be playing in the Chinese oppo- sition and of the approval which the United States had given to Japan's course.
