LATE TELEGRAMS.
Italy and Austria. Vienna, April 11.-Strained relations between Italy and Austria, apparent for some time, are becoming more openly pain-
ful. Undoubtedly they have their founda- tion in the violent anti-Austrian demon. strations of the irredentists of Italy. To the members of this party anything Austrian is hateful, and they have in riots and other unlawful acts shown their desire to embroil the two nations.
[The irredentists of Italy seem to have the mainspring of their grievance in the failure of Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria to visit King Victor Emmanuel. There are of course more solid, rev asons for opposition, but just now this is- the uppermost. Italy and Austria ara allied with Germany in the triple alliance, and the Italians who are not pro-Pope are outraged that the Austrian emperor does not call on his ally. The fact is, though, that he cannot, for he would affront the Va tican if he visited the Quirinal without paying bis respects to the pontiff, and vice versa. It is proposed that the emperor make one pilgrimage to Victor Emmanuel and another to the Pope, Besides this Italian students some weeks ago raised a tromendous row against Austria on account of alleged bad treatment of Italian resid-- ents in Austria.]
Armenian Bishop Arrested. St. Petersburg, April 11.-The famous Armenian, Bishop Must, has been arres- ted, charged with sedition by the Turkish government.

LATE TELEGRAMS.
Russians Deserting. Calcutta, March 28.--An Englishman cable, dated London, March 25, нaya: A band of Russians have been captured cross- ing the frontier to evade military obliga- tions. Three women were shot and thirty men taken prisoners.
England's Influence on Japan.
Allahabad, March 26.—A Pioneer special says: There is good authority for saying that the moderation of Japan's last Noto was due to the influence of the British Foreign Office. The disclosure has in- croased Parliamentary' feeling in favour of Japan.
Blocking Port Arthur. London, March 27.-An official des- patch, published at St. Petersburg, states that early in the morning of the 27th instant four large merchant steamers, con- voyed by torpedo boats, approached Port Arthur harbour, but were discovered by the searchlights. The Russian batteries and guardships at once opened a heavy fir Lieutenant Krinizki, commanding the torpedo boat Silney, fearing the enemy might break through, turned the merchant- men from their course, blowing up the prow of the loading steamer, Three steamers were stranded on the right side of
the fairway and the fourth sank clear of the channel, which is still open. The Sitney then engaged the Japanese torpedo boats, losing seven men killed and thirteen wounded, including her commander. The Japanese fleet appeared at day-break and the Russian squadron put out to meet them, but no engagement resulted, the Japanese retiring southwards.
A further official account describes the merchantmen as fireships.
It is reported at St Petersburg that Russian torpedo boat was sunk.
Further Details.
March 28, Further official telegrams received at St. Petersburg stato that when the Jaianese fleet appeared on the morning of the 27th, the Russian fleet was lewing the harbour and opened fire with the forts
on the Japanese fleet, which withdrew,
evidently declining an engagemont.

Mighty Throng of Worshippers.
Rome, April 12.-To-day in Rome was of the most noted since Pope Pius X, mounted the chair of Peter. It was the occasion of the celebration of the first public mass of the new pontiff. At the groat altur in St.oter's, the Pope went through the stered ceremony before a wor shipping audience of 7 4,000 people. These were not all of Rome nor of Italy; nor in deed of Europe, for pilgrims were gathered from every part of the earth, and the scene was magnificent and impressive.
The War.
Chefon, April 11.-Estimates of the number of Russian troops now in Man- churia and northern Korea place the total at half a million men. It is reported that Kuropatkin is now planning a more aggres- sive campaign though he will still maintain a strong defense along the line of railroad, Tokio, April 12.-Next month Japan will start its second army for the front and preparations on a large scale are now be- ing made for the equipment and provision- ing of these troops.
(The second Japanese army is known as the Reserve and consists of 2,400 officers and 201,709 men, giving a total of 204,109. The Japanese army is divided into the standing army, which includes the reserve, the landwehr, the depot, and the land. sturm, after the German model. The ac- tive army is levied from males of the age of twenty and the term of service is three The army of reserve consists of years,
those who have quitted the active army, and the term of service is four years und four months. The landwehr consists of those who have quitted the standing army, and the term of service is five years. When the second army reaches Korea, Japan will have in the field almost 400,000 men, to be more exact, about 370,000.- Manib Cablenews]
