SEES NO TROUBLE
OVER C0NTRABAND
Italian Ambassador Announces
There Will Be No Dispute Be-
tween His Country and Unit
ed States.

WASHINGTON. May 20. - After
two long conferences with Sec'y Of
State Bryan Monday Count Macchi di
Ceuere, the Italian ambassador, an
n0unced that there would be mo diff
ficulties between the United States
and Italy on the question of contra
band"
Count Cellere spoke for his govern
ment as he had received from the for
eign office a long cable dispatch
which had been partly deciphered
and which he said he would present
Tuesday to the state department.
This communication, in large part is
a review by Italy Of the causes which
led TO the war. This review and the
expected manifesto of the emperor
of Austria on the cause of the war Will
be followed by the usual proclamation
Of neutrality by the United States.
Or. Constantin Theodore DumDa
was at the state department at the
time Of the second visit there of the
Italian am bassadOr. Ambassador
Dumba handed a brief note TO Sec'y OF
state Bryan which was written by the
ambassador in the diplomatic reading
room.
In this note Austria cleared up a
misrepresentation as to some alleged
objections of Austria to be represent
ed at Rome by the United States. All
that Am bassador Dumba would admit
was that his communication was IN
tended TO correct mlsapprehenslOns.
1t was understood late Monday aft
ernoOn that Austria viii be repre-
scented in Italy by the United States.
Sec'y Bryan announced earlier IN
the dav that Italy would be repre-
scented by the United States at Vienna
and that the United States had under
taken to represent Austria at the Ser
Wan capital and at Cairo. The an
nouncements were interpreted as
meaning that Austria had failed 10 re-
spond to the reported suggestion or
prince Won Beulow that Austria should
not he represented in Italy by the
limited states, but rather by spain.
The declaration of war by ltaly
brought many diplomats today 10 the
