STATE OF SIEGE
 ON IN AUSTRIA

ROME, April 14.-A dispatch from Trent. telegraphed from the frontier. to the Idea Nazionales, quotes an of- ncial who has just returned from Vien- ma as authority for the statement that a state of siege will probably be pro claimed soon in Austria. because Of the unrest that is resulting from the
 Russian advance across the Cara pathians into Hungary.
 The same authority says that veal thy Hungarians are making hasty pre- paratlons for flight.
 Austria Makes Promise to Italy.
 The Idea Nazionales correspondent says he has learned from the same source that Emperor Francis Joseph has decided to acceed to the urgent requests of Germany to offer to cede to Italy the so-called Italian pro- vinces," including Fiume, but only on condition that Italy will join with Aus tria and Germany in prosecuting the war against the Triple Entente.
 This part of the report is believed in Rome to be without foundation. be- cause 1t is known in Vienna and Der lin that a condition that would ask for more than neutrality from Italy would be a waste of time.

ROME SAYS WAR WILL
 BE PROLONGED

ROME. April 1S.-Eypert Rome has abandoned all hope for an early peace and expects the war to be continued for notless than two more seasons uu- less more nations enter the conflict than are now engaged As the larg. est and most accessible neutral capi. tal in Europe where all the belliger. ent nations have embassies to the Ital- ian court, representatives to the Vauc. an and g host of military experts of both the army and navy and finan- cial representatives and secret service systems, Rome has been theatre for making estimates as to the prepared. ness of the warning nations to con. tinue the war, and as to Che probabiii- ties of early peace. Interest in these topics has been added to by the cir cumstance that the Italian govern ment is being pressed to enter the war by the people of Italy
 It is in such surroundings that the belief in a prolonged war has been arrived at Roman newspapers have reached the conclusion that peace will not come this year because of the conviction of the preparedness of Germany to continue the conflict for an indefinite period, and because of the further conviction that Germany is determined to fight until the bitter end. The newspapers have canvassed the situation among the represents lives of all the countries, and they have been given access to the data on this subject that has been collected by the Italian government and the conviction is practically unanimous that not only peace is not in sight but that the beginning of the end is yet a long distance away.
 It IS stated with all the emphasis oi an ascertained fact that Germany is amply prepared with war material and that she is soundly financed It i' also stated, with equal emphasis, that she is supplied with food supplies anc the capacity 10 produce them. anc with raw material for a continuation of the manufacture Of ammunition an' other necessary items for the conduc of Eie var. German confidence ii ! German ability has not been dimme' by the failure to accomplish Ia nc cordonce with previous expectations and the Emperor is still loyally sup ported.
 The opinion seems to be that even tually the war must end in the de feat of Germany and Austria. but ii is thought that unless Italy enter. the conflict there win be at least two more summer campaigns before tho break that will lead to an early col lapse of the German defense must come.
 This condition is causing the people of Italy to think soberly about the ad visibility of their country's entering into a long war It is admitted that the war sentiment has been fostered largely by the argument that ltaly'l entrance into the conflict would cause a quick termination of hostilities.
 However. it is also apparent that the large majority of the people of the country, and a smaller majority of the newspapers stin favor war. and that the declaration Of war by Italy against Austria and Germmy would create tremendous enthusiasm throughout all sections and an classes in the country
