IITA’L'Y’S PROGRAMME. -
' Bmdini's Statement as to His African 7Bol-
icy Creates a Furore.
' .Rome, May 17.——Considerable excite-
ment has .been occasioned by the state-
ment of Premier Rubini in the chamber
‘ of deputies that the government’s ,pro-
gramme in.Africa was to negotiate with
Great Britain for a retrocession of .Kas-
sala to Egypt. The ministers did not
pmpose, .he added, to surrender other
territory. Massowah. alone would be
occupied by [the Italian troops. The rest
of. Erythrea would be organized under’
native rulers selected by Italy.
Premier Rudini also 'assertedthat the
proposal :to abandon Massowah, the j
possession of_which gave Italy great
influence in .the regions of the Red sea,
might lead to the most serious inter—.
national complications, since the period '
in which the government programme in
Africa could be carried out was uncer- l
tain. "
The government demanded a credit of
19,000,000 line for 1897-98. The govern-
ment, according to Premier Rudini, was
prepared to obey the dictates of the'
chamber of deputies, but it was not.
disposed to follow a policy differing‘
from that already mentioned. The cab-
inet would not remain in office if the
chamber of deputies expressed a con-
trary opinion.
A scene of «great excitement in the
chamber of deputies followed the state-
ments of the Marquis di Rudini. Signor
Domarinis, on behalf of the Socialists,
and Signor Imbriani, on behalf of the
Radicals, offered resolutions looking to
the abandonment of Erythrea. Signor
Pozzi and other Rightists proposed the
withdrawal of the Italian troops from
Africa. Those motions will be discuss-
ed tomorrow.
THE WAR IN GREECE.
A Protest Against the Fortification of
Griboro by the Turks.
Athens, May 17.—The government has
addressed a note to the ministers of the

tifying Gri‘boro are responsible for the

The government, in its note to the
powers, accusses the porte of inducing
small vessels to commit piracy upon the
Greek ships.
A second batch of troops has been
recalled from Crete, and,it is announc—
ed, the third-and last detachment will
soon be withdrawn.
The aids to the crown prince, recalled
from Thessaly, upon arriving at Piraeus
were received with ironical cheers.
In Friday’s battle at Filippiada 650
men were killed and 28 officers were
Wounded.
The fighting which was expected has
been resumed, and that another battle
.in the vicinity of Prevesa is probable.

Ollieia... of 11.5 Anuval.
Havana, via Key West, May 17.—
Through Consul General Lee Mr. W. J.
Calhoun,'the special commissioner ap-
pointed by the United States govern—‘
ment to examine into the matter of the
killing of Dr. Ruiz, yesterday officially
notified the Spanish government of the
fact of his arrival, adding that he was
awaiting communications from the
Spanish government and the naming
of a. representative .Whois expected to
co—Operate 'with fhim. "Mr. Calhoun’s
Inquiry willibe gconfined entirely to the
Ruizcase. -_ ‘W ‘_‘
United States Consul General-Lee has
entered a protest at the-rpalace‘against
the alleged violation and examination
of American mail at the Havana post-
office.
Consul General Lee and Special Com—
unissioner Calhoun yesterday visited the
city jail and talked with the prisoners
there. Among those interviewed were
Senor Viondi, attorney for General
Sanguilly, and Senor Garcia, the corre-
spondent of a New York newspaper.
Senor Garcia is charged with publish-
ing unreliable and alarming anti-Span-
ish news. Senor Garcia attempted to
plead American citizenship in defense,
but so far he has been unable to pro-
duce the proofs of this citizenship, and
in official circles here it is considered
doubtful whether he will be able to
demonstrate that he is a citizen of the
United States. Many of the Spanishl
officials ‘belieVe that Consul General Lee
will not be able to do anything for him.
According to official advices received
here, General Gomez, fleeing before the
columns of Captain General Weyler,
is now in the virgin forests of the prov-
ince of Puerto Principe, west of the
Jucare-Meron trocha. Others there are
who believe that he has succeeded in
crossing the trocha. and personally es-
caping by sea with a few men. It seems
to be pretty well settled, however, that
he is now at least 400 miles from Ha-
vana, and consequently there is little
fear of an attack on the city of Ha.-
vana by the insurgents.
I'IXED FOB. MURDER.
Rev. Dr. Newman Smythe Was In Danger
of Assassination.
New Haven, May 17.——W. R. Clinton
of West Haven was arrested last night
by Police Captain Cowles because of a
threat of assassination which Clinton
sent by mail in the afternoon to Rev.
Dr. Newman Smyth, pastor of Center
church, the most ancient and aristo—
cratic of New Haven’s churches and of
which Clinton is a member. He was ar-
rested just as he was leaving his home
to carry his threat into execution, and
two heavily loaded revolvers were found
on his person.
Clinton has the hallucination that
Dr. Smyth has cheated him out of $12,-
000 by securing patent rights on a ma-
chine of his invention. He has writ-
ten several letters to the clergyman
asking him to return the $12,000, which
were unnoticed, and within the past
few days the letters became so fre—
quent and threatening that Dr. Smyth
became alarmed and reported the mat-
ter to the police yesterday afternoon.
Soon afterward he received a special
delivery letter from Clinton saying that
unless the money was forthcoming in—
side of an hour and a half he would as-
sassinate him. '
When arrested, Clinton admitted that
he was going to carry out his purpose
if he did not get his money. He will be
examined as to his sanity.
King of the Foils Dead.
Bristol, R. I., May 17.———Napoleon Ser—
vations, a well known fencing master
whom old age compelled to retire be-
fore he was defeated, died at the SOI—
diers’ home of a complication of dis—
eases yesterday. For many years Ser-
vations was the fencing master of the
Narragansett Fencing club, and While
holding that position he defeated every
fencing master who came to this coun-
try, the contests being held at New
York, Boston, Providence and other
places. He was 76 years old.
- His Life For $500.
Belleville, 1115., May 17,—John E.
Doehring, ex-city treasurer, hanged
himself in his home yesterday. His ac-
counts as treasurer are all right, but he
had over-drawn his salary to the ex-
tent of S500 and had been told to make
a settlement. He could not do so, and
it is thought rather than face the sit-
uation he committed suicide.

tory. ‘ ~
