The departure of fiaribaldi and bis thousand of "lied Skirts" in May of 1M on ihe epe ditiou which resulted in the accpii Bition of Sic ily by Italy was celebrated at Quarto Sant 'Elene, near this citv, with a great patriotic demonstration. The principal feature of the celebra tion was the dedication of a' monu ment to Garibaldi. Vast crowds gathered in the lit tie town, which in 3S;0 was in the king dom of Sardinia. They greeted with wild enthusiasm a detachment of vet erans of the Garibaldi expedition. Every province of Italy was repre sented, although King Victor Emman uel and members of the cabinet, who had expected to attend the exercises, were unab'o to be present on account of the political situation. JAPS WARNED TO GET OUT OF PEKING London, May G. "The legation here has notified ail Japanese to prepare to leave the capital within twelve hor.is.' says the Daily Telegraph's Peking: correspondent. "Telegrams are pour ing in from every part of China, fore shadowing hostilities. An ultimatum by Japan is expected today. "I hare in the highest quarters thai a Chinese surrender is out of the ques tion, as the revolutionists, who honey tomb the country, would rise immedi ately, thus precipitating the fall of Yuan Shi Kai's government. "I am authorized, to declare that the Chinese government will make a di rect appeal to Great Britain, Russia France and the United States immedi ately an ultimatum is received." A Japanese cruiser and four torpedo boat destroyers have arrived at El Chinwacg. about 150 miles east of Peking, evidently for the purpose of removing troin China the members of the Japanese legation. Consular reports from all parts of China announce the departure of Jap- I ie.se.
