Two Questions Closely Related.

Rome, April 8, 10:50 D. m., via Paris April 9, 4:30 a. m.-The questions whether an understanding between Italy and Austria still is possible and whether a separate Austro- Russian peace treaty is probable are discussed from different points of view by the press of the capital. The papers agree that the two questions are closely related, since if Russia. with the permission of her allies, obtains what she desires and comes to terms With Vienna, it is impossible to imagine that Austria would be willing to make territorial concessions to Italy.
 It Is regarded as probable by the newspapers that reports of peace ne- gotiations will. be denied in all off, clal quarters until some tangible agreement is reached. The position of Austria, it is contended is becom- ing daily more grave because of the Russian invasion and the threat of Italian intervention.
 Little Chance For Austria.
 The Idea Nazionale says Austria has but little chance of regaining what she has lost, and that proba bilities alo ohe VIII lose more If SC cOntin- ues to fight, while by making peace with Russia she would avoid fur thur Muscovite invasion and might prevent Serbian advance as well as the intervention of Italy and Ru- mania. The paper says Austria may even hope to obtain moral and mater lal revenge by victorious war against Italy alone.
 No Orders Received.
 New York, April s-Agents of tho Italian transatlantic Steamship lines here had not received today the or ders reported yesterday to have been issued from Rome directing all Italian steamers in American ports to post pone their sailings until April 20.
 At the pier of the Lloyd Italiano Line 1t was said that the steamship Stampatia would leave for Italian ports tomorrow unless orders to the contrary were received in the mean time. Agents of the Fabre Line said their steamers would continue to sail on the published dates.
