ROME, May 18.-The cabinet,w hich held a long session here yesterday, made an announcement last night that no decision had been made re- garding the attitude of the country in the present crisis. The decision for or against war has not been made and the government announces that it will not be made until the meeting of parliament next Thursday. when the government is prepared to give to the deputies full statement of the negotiations between Italy and Austria in reference to the seeding of the Adriatic provinces.
 The tension of the people has great ly relaxed as all are confident that the present cabinet will go to war unless the demands of the country for more territory are fulfilled by Austria.
 The mobs have dispersed and the police have no trouble maintaining or. der. Most of the German Austrian residents in the country have left and the remaining residents are going as fast as they can clean up their bus mess affairs.
 Few foreigners expect that war can be averted although the German am- bassador has and continues to make every effort to hold Italy neutral.

PARIS, May 18.-The report reach es this city from Amsterdam that the German foreign office will not apol- ogize to the United States government because of the sinking of the British merchant vessel Lusitania. The kali ser's government will justify the sub' marining of the big ship by claim ing that the boat was lost as re- suit of an explosion from the interior and not from the effect of the torpedo which was discharged to cripple the big liner, but not to cause her de- struction, at least not until the pas sengers had left the ship.
 The Germans will hold that Eng land and the United States are re- sponsible for the loss of the big ship, which was carrying high explosives on passenger boats and also because of the British orders in council com. pletely blockading all shipments from the United States to Germany.
 The report, if confirmed, is expect ed to result in the American govern ment taking some drastic action even to declaring war on Germany, as President Wilson's note threatened that the United States would find the means to protect neutrals on merch- ant ships and to prevent the sinking of American ships in the so-called

CABINET CRISIS
 IN GREAT BRITAIN
Loss of Lusitania May Force Many Cabinet Members Into Private Life
 Papers Demand Changes.

LONDON, May 18.-The present ministry may. be ditched and an en- tire new cabinet formed if the de- mands of many of the newspapers are carried out The papers insist that a new cabinet be formed to repre- sent all parties in the parliament. The papers insist that the only sure means of holding the different polit- ical parties together in the support of the government is to allow all of them representation in the cabinet.
 The present Liberal ministry was elected in 1910 and is headed by Prime Minister Herbert Asquith, with Winston Churchill lord of the navy, and Lord Kitchener as secretary of state for war. The fight against the present government is made largely because of the loss of the Lusitania, which, the papers insist, was not properly protected by the navy.
 Just what action the government will take to secure the support of the people is not known, but many pre- dict that the cabinet of representa- tives of all parties will be formed and that Lord Churchill will be super ceded by some one else. Lord Kitch- ener, however, will retain his post in spite of any changes, as he has the support of the people and the differ ent parties.

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-The re- port has reached here that the Ger man government will refuse all de- mands made by the United States to Germany in the note sent to Berlin by the president following the sink ing of the Lusitania and the drown. ing of many Americans. The news is semi-official and reaches here from Paris and Holland with reports of a similar nature coming from Stock holm which, if true, means trouble for the administration, as it is not ex- pected that President Wilson will back down from his position demand ing protection for neutrals on merch. ant ships and the right of American ships to sail in the war zone without danger from the kaiser's submarines.
 The German reply is expected to reach Washington on Thursday. Dip lomats refuse to make any public statements, but because of the fact that President Wilson and several members of the cabinet are out of town attending the parades at New York and many officials of the differ ent departments have expressed views on the trouble and some of them fear that deadlock will result in the negotiations.
