burned the Austrian flag and pictures of

Forces OF gendarmes were called out
to suppress the riots, but the crowds
stoned them and erected barrlcades in
the streets. Gas pipes we're torn UP and

Finally troops were called out and
they charged and dispersed the rioters,
The pro-war element throughout Italy
hailed as a triumph the news that King
cept the resignation of Premier Salan-
dra and his Ministers
The demonstrations OF the interven-
tlonists in Rome and other cities are no
longer interfered with by the authori-
ties In Rome the momentary antl-mon-
archical feeling has died out, as 1t is
now accepted that the King is in favor
Of action against Austria
The troops which were called out Fri
day because OF the disturbances OF a
revolutionary character in the capital
have been withdrawn. A cavalry guard,
however, Is stationed outside the Ger
man and Austrian Embassies and the

10000 CHEER FOR ALLIES.
Employees of the war ONCE and other
ministries took part in pro-war dem
onstration in which 10000 persons
paraded through the central streets of
Rome cheering for the Allies as they
passed the Embassies OF the Entente
Powers. The flags of the allied nations
were displayed throughout the city, and
a special demonstration of sympathy

Won Macchio, the Austrian Ambassador,
this evening. The Austrian envoy is
reported to have demanded his pass
ports. The Austrian and German Con-
suls throughout Italy have notified the

BITTERNESS OVER TREATY.
Bitter controversy continues between
the interventionist and ncutrallst organs
over reports and denials that the Triple |
Alliance pact was declared null and void |
on May 4. Senator Frassetti, editor of |
the Turin Stampa, Giolittlan organ, de-
,lares 1t is Impossible OF belier' that |
Foreign Minister Sonnino was capable OF |
such a breach of etiquette as to pledge !
Italy's support to the Allies before abro- ,
eating the treaty with Austria and Ger
many.
The Tribuna takes the same attitude, I
declaring that If there is any accord with
he Allies at present Sonnino Is alone
'espOnsible.
The Stampa asserts that four-hfths of
he Senate, three-fourths of the Chamber
If Deputies every eX-Minister of the
State and every Knight of the Annuncia-
ion, who by right of the order are cou-
sins of the King, are averse to war
Under these conditions" concludes
Senator Frassettl, ut is impossible for
Premier Saandra to pledge the support
IF the nation to the Allies"
