Rome, May 4.-Direct information

King Avoids Fete.
Premier Salandra suddenly and un.
expectedly called a meeting of the cab.
met. 1t was announced that, owing
to the international situation" the
king and his ministers would not at
tend the Quarto celebration
The gravest Interpretation is placed
upon this abandonment of the trip to
Quarto where the king had prom
ised to be present at the unwilling
OF monument to Garbaldi and
where, It was expected, Premier
Salandra would make an important
speech. II is generally believed that
negotiations with Austria are of.
This belief is reflected in the com
mercial and industrial life Of the city,
which came virtually to a standstill
the moment the news became known.
Warning Is Sounded.
Before the meeting of the cabinet
the newspaper Messagero announced:
During the last few hours the sit
uation has undergone marked
change. Baron Sonnino. before war
Is declared on Austria. will make an
effort to end the connagration. He
will warn Germany that Italys inter
vention will also mean the interven-
ton of Roumania and that Austra's
defeat would leave Germany alone"
Messagero at the same time an
nounced that Premier Salandra
had reconsidered his decision to speak
at Quarto, and that he probably would
not speak at all, or that the tenor of
his speech would be changed This
news was soon confirmed by the Off
cial announcement that none of the
cabinet would attend.
Italians Flee Austria.
Udine, Italy, May 4.-ltalian con-
suls in Austro-Hungary are recon-
mending that all Italians leave the
country as soon as possible. AS a
result Of this warning, Italian mer-
chants, manufacturers and profess
sional men are arriving at Udne from
points in Austria.
They relate experiences, including
insults and prosecutions, which are
arousing local feeling. The refugees
describe the great military activity
along the frontier. All roadways have
been barred with trunks of heavy
trees and trenched. The railroads are
occupied at night with moving trains
loaded with troops and heavy guns.
