CABINET SILENT.
All members of the Cabinet maintained
strict silence as to the next step to be
taken. Unusual activity at the War
Office and the Admiralty showed plainly
that important developments are close at
hand.
1t was said that a 4s-hour ultimatum
would be sent to Vienna during the day,
but at the same time belief was felt in
many quarters that hostilities would be
commenced without further diplomatic in
tercourse with the governments of the
Teutonic allies
From a semioffcial source 1t was learn
ed that the Government expects the fol-
lowing developments: Italy will declare
war against Austria; Austria will then de-
clare war against Italy; Germany is then
expected to declare war against this coun-
try and be followed by Turkey. Plans
have been made for three separate
phases of action by the War Office and
Admiralty:
l. The launching of troops against Aus
tria.
2. The transportation Of an army into
France.
8. A VIGOROUS naval campaign against
the Austrian defenses in the Adriatic,
with the possibility Of a fleet going to
the Dardanelles to help the Allies batter
down the Turkish works there
cADoRNA IN COMMAND.
The military operation will be directed
by Count Luigi Cadorna, lieutenant coll
onel and chief of staff OF the Italian
army, and by General Carlo Caneva,
commander of the army lying on tho
Austrian frontier.
The naval operations will be directed
by the Duke Of the Abruzzi, commander
of the italian navy.
The Bavarian and Prussan Ministers to
the Vatican have already called upon
their fellow prelates bidding them fare

Naby Bey. the Turkish Ambassador,
has made final preparations for his de-
parture.
Venice has been strongly fortified as a
result of reports reaching the Admiralty
that the austrian fleet at Pola would
lombard that city at the first outbreak
of hostilties.
CoNFISCATE RICE CARGO.
At Naples the customs authorities con-
hscated cargo of 1000 tons of rice whose
destination was Germany.
Copies of the Governments green
book" putting responsibility for the ap-
preaching war upon Austria. are being
circulated throughout the kingdom and
newspapers have been induced to print It
for the institution of peace"
A Turin dispatch says that the bulk of
the civilian population has fed from the
Austrian cities OF Trieste, Pola and
Ffume. The Imperial authorities are dis
patching the official archives from
Trieste into the interior of Austria.
Ninety-two per cent OF the males In
southern Austria from II to 50 years of
age have been called to the colors.
There are about 10000 Italians of mill

that the German authorities are treating
them harshly and putting every obstacle

LONDON, May 2t.
A private dispatch from Stockholm says
that there are rumors In circulation
there that a great sea battle has been
fought in the Baltic and that Riga has
been captured by the Germans.
The report was without confirmation
from any other source today. In official
circles it was generally dlscredited.
Reports of the battle between the Ger

true In dispatch from Copenhagen to
the Exchange Telegraph Company.
Riga, in Russia, the capital of the
Government of Livonia, on the River
Duna. FIVE miles from the Gulf of Riga,
has not been attacked from the sea be-
fore. 1t is not a naval base, but as a
commercial port It Is second to Petrograd
in the Baltic waters. 1t has a population
of 100000.
In the first week in May it was said
that the German cavalry drives eastward
from East Prussia were directed toward
Riga, and, since Libau was captured,
an attempt to invest Riga by land has
been expected in Petrograd.
