FOR IT ALY AND
 AUS I RIA

ROME, April 22.-The dove of peace fluttered out Of the war clouds that hung low over Italy yesterday and last night, and today the situation seems susceptible of settlement on q bisis that will insure Italian neutrality without the use of arms.
 The deadlock in the negotiations was broken yesterday afternoon, but information concerning 1t did not leak out until this morning.
 It is not known by any persons oth- CT than those closely concerned what change has taken place to relieve a situation that was apparently hopeless yesterday, but 1t is generally assumed that either Austria or Italy has made some concession.
 Italy has been represented previous Iy as demanding in their entirety the provinces of Trent and Istria as well as Dalmatia and Austria's islands in the Aegean sea. whereas Austria was believed to be willing to yield only comparatively small parts of this Ter ritory.
 Negotiations were resumed last ey- ening. and they are under way again today. It is believed that a speedy settlement will be insisted upon by Italy, and that basis for such has been all but arrived at.
