WASHINGTON. January i0.--The re-
quest Of tho United Statcs government
that two three-inch guns mounted on

ambassador. Count MacCh III Ceilege

government, and. it is said, until a reply
is received the vessel viii bc detained

Tho ambassador was Mt the state
Department twice to-day. comforting
once with Counselor POLK. and later
with MIR. Lansing. Although there WAS
no announcement after tho conferences
it is understood that tho American
government will adhere strictly IL its
policy of opposing the carrying Of
mounted guns under any circumstances
hy vessels plying out of United States
ports with passengers. Under inter.
national law merchantmen have tho
right 10 mount guns for defensive pttr-
poses. hut IL IS not believed that Italy
VIII insist upon exercising this right
over tho protest Of the United States.
In this connection the question Of re-
sponsibility for safety OF passengers
aboard the vessel has boon raised Tho
italian ambassador. it IL said. contends
that the gums afford protection to tho
passengers By defending the vessel from
submarines. state Department oil
Gals. on the other hand maintain that
