A LL ITALY EXCITED
Defeat in Abyssinia Worse
Than First Reported.
OVER FIVE THOUSAND KILLED
The Wounded Feared to Have Met a
Horrible Fate Great Clamor
Against Crispl.
Bomb, March. '4. The kingdom of
Italy is filled with excitement, grief and
anger almost beyond description. Every
dispatch from Massowah adds to the
gravity of the disaster to the Italian
army at Adowa, Alsais. When the first
news of General Barateri's defeat reached
the city, report had it that only 500 men
had been killed. Then yesterday after
noon he number ran np to 3,000 killed,
and 60 pieces of artillery captured. This
morning's dispatches place the number
of killed in the battle and the long har
assing retreat, which followed, at 5,000.
I is believed not even these figures tell
the full extent of the disaster.
No mention is made of the wounded,
and there is good reason, based on sto
ries of recent Italian defeats by Abyesin
ians, to believe chose who fell wounded
during the retreat of over 50 mileh
met a more horrible fate than those
killed on the spot.
Throughout the night the garrison
here was kept under arms, and mounted
patrols traversed the principal streets.
The streets were filled with people
until daybreak, and after early morning
every public place was crowded with ex
cited men and women. Several disturb
ances which called for police interference
occurred today, and indications are that
the people are assuming a most threat
ening attitude, not only in Rome
but throughout Italy. Demonstrations
against Crispi's ministry nnd tverragainst
the crown are reported from the prov
inces, in spite of the fact that the au
thorities were straining every nerve to
suppress all alarming news.
Later in the day news from the prov
inces became more alarming. It was
stated that in a number of places the
police were unable to cope with the pop
ulace, and troops had to be called on to
restore order. The! soldiers, however,
appear to have been as- helpless as the
police and in Eeveral places the cruwds
were fired upon.
At Milan the troops, after vainly try
ing to disperse a mob, were obliged to
fire. This increased the excitement.
The troops were stoned and had to clear
the public square at the point of the
bayonet.
Dispatches from Venice Fay last night
a crowd assembled at Plaza St. Mark,
and speeches were made condemning
the military authorized to try General
Baratert by court martial. There was
another popular demonstration against
the government thin morning, and the
mob was dispersed by the police with
the greatest difficulty after a number of
arrests had been made.
At Padn& today a mob marched
through the streets hooting the govern
ment officials' and crying for the down
fall of tho Crispi Ministry.
At Verona there was a similar demon
stration. It is believed that nothing
short of the downfall ofSignor Crispi and
the dispatch of strong reinforcements to
Africa will satisfy the public clamor.
Shortly before noon it was announced
that General Barateri bad been recalled
to Rome, and bis conduct of the present
campaign and his defeat of Adowa will
be inquired into. Socialists declare the
general should be shot as an example to
others, and the minister of war should
share his fate.
The army reserves of 1S72, numbering
about 80,000 men, are being called to the
standard, but it is feared there will be
serious rioting when the men muster in
large bodies.
News of the death of Generals Aller-
Highest of all ia Leavening Power.
rafc n ems
tone and Dabormida has been confirmed.
It is believed over 500 other Italian offi
cers of lesser rank have been slain.
HELD BY THE POSTMASTER. J
Mayor S litre's Heiaatu Refused Fl
acre Through the Malls.
San Fbancisco, March 4. On orders
from postoifice department headquarters
at Washington a large number of letters
eent ont by Mayor Sutro's bureau of in
formation, which he has been using to
warn the nation's representatives at
Washington., of the schemes of C. P,
Huntington, have been seized by Post
master McCoppin and refused passage
through the mails.
Shortly . after the etory had been
printed that the concurrent resolution
passed by the last legislature against
the Biley funding bill had failed to
reach the eyes for which it was intend
ed, the bureau began sending out fac
similes : of a cartoon representing Hunt
ington holding the resolution behind
his back to prevent members of congress
from seeing it. x
Across the top of the envelopes was
printed in bold red letters:
"C. P. Huntington would not steal a
red-hot stove."
The letters had hardly reached Wash
ington when various members of the
Lenate and house sent complaints to the
postoffice department objecting to such
missives being delivered to them, and
asking protection for the future.
A telegram was sent to San Francisco
instructing Postmaster McCoppin to
stop all such letters delivered at the
office under his charge for mailing.
This was accordingly done, and several
envelopes bearing the words to which
the department objects are now held in
McCoppin's care.

ASSIST NATURE
a little now and then
in removing1 offend
ing matter from the
stomach and bowels
and you thereby
avoid a multitude
of distressing de
rangements and dis
eases, and will have
less frequent need
of your doctor's
service.
Of all known
agents for this pur
pose, Dr. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets are
the best. Once
used, they are al
ways in favor
Their secondary ef
fect is to keep the
bowels open and
regular, not to fur
ther constipate, as
is the case with
other pills. Hence, their great popularity
with sufferers from habitual constipation,
piles and their attendant discomfort and
manifold derangements. The ''Pellets"
are purely vegetable and perfectly harmless
in any condition of the system. No care is
required while using- them; they-do not
interfere with the diet. habits or occupa
tion, and produce no pain, griping or shock
to the system. They act in a mild, easy and
natural way and there is no reaction after
ward. Their help lasts.
The Pellets cure biliousness, sick and
bilious headache, dizziness, costiveness, or
constipation, sour stomach, loss of appetite,
coated tongue, indigestion, or dyspepsia,
windy belchings; "heartburn," pain and
distress after eating, and kindred derange
ments of the liver, stomach and bowels.
In proof of their superior excellence, it can
be truthfully said, that they are always
adopted as a household remedy after the
first trial. Pnt up in sealed, glass vials,
therefore always fresh and reliable. One
little " Pellet " is a laxative, two are mildy
cathartic. As a " dinner pill," to promote
digestion, or to relieve distress from over
eating, take one after dinner. They are
tiny, sugar-coated granules; any child will
readily take them.
Accept no substitute that may be recom
mended to be "just as good." It may be
belter for the dealer, because of paying him
a better profit, but lie is not the one who
nrfjhelp.

If there is any one thing that needs
to be purified, it is politics, so the re
former says, and many agree thereto.
But blood tells, and as a blood purifier
and liver corrector Simmons Liver Reg

preference to anv other." So wrote Mr.
S. H. Hysell, of Middleport, Ohio. And
Dr. D. 8. Russell, of Farmville, Va.,
writes, ''It fulfills all you promise for it."
You hear it almost everywhere, and
read it in the newspapers, that Simmons
Liver Regulator is the best liver remedy,
and the best Sprinc medicine, and the
