exerting every effort to avert a pend

This statement is conveyed to the
State department in a communication
from United States Consul General
Bellows at Yokohama. The situation,
as analyzed by the shrewdest finan

shew that the Chinese indemnity se

loans, led to the exploiting of many
public and private undertakings.

The strike is the result of the dis

Wood plant of the American Sheet
Steel company at McKeesport, and the

was the recent discharge of seven

WASHINGTON, April 16 The state
department has been advised through
the American ambassador at Rome
and the Italian foreign office that Ba
ron Fava will be succeeded as am
bassador from Italy to this country
by the Marquise Obizzo Malispina eli
Carbonara, at present minister for It
aly to the Argentine Republic. The
marquise has had a wide diplomatic
experience and served in Washington
as one of the attaches of the Ital
ian legation about ten yars ago. He
will receive a substantial promotion
by his nev appointment, rising from
the rank of minister to that of am
bassador. BaroH Fava, the retiring ambassa
dor, is a man of remarkable diplo
matic experience, his service in behalf
of his country covering some of the
most exciting period. in Italian his

states, and. re-entering the diplomatic
service under the famous Cabour min
istry, he became first secretary at
Perne. hence in turn he went to The
Hague, to Constantinople, to Rouma
nia and finally to Buenos Ayres, where
he was minister, just as his successor
is today. Baron Fava came to Wash
ington in 1881, so he has seen twenty
years' continuous service at the
American capital. In 1R93 he was
clean of the diplomatic corps, and only
relinquished the position through the
failure of his government to act as
promptly as the British government in
the matter of raising their minister to
