DISCUSS PROBLEM

(By Telegraph. Copyright, Telegraphic Menungen Ordinance. 1894. Received, June 28, 8 a.m.),

Rome, June 26.

More fuel has been thrown upon the fire of the Italo-Abyssinian dispute by the report that Abyssinia has annexed the sultanate of Jimma. Replying to an Italian note in this matter, the Abyssinian Government says it has merely appointed a guardianship over the young sultan who has lately succeeded to the sultanate. It is unlikely that Italy will be satisfied with this explanation.

Meanwhile, excitement has been caused by reports that the Italian Government has ordered all Italian subjects to leave Abyssinia within ten days. Such an order would mean that a declaration of war was imminent.

However, it was later officially announced that this report was erroneous. It has not tended to lessen the tension, in spite of the denial.

The Abyssinian question, which threatens to involvo Italy und Ethiopia in war, and which the Italians regard as the paramount issue of the present problems of world politics, was discussed by Signor Mussolini, Prime Minister, and Mr. Anthony Eden, British, Minister for League of Nations!

London, June 25. Germany had agreed never again to resort to what was known during the war as unrestricted submarine warfare, declared Sir Bolton Eyres-Monsell, First Lord of the Admiralty, amid loud cheers, when replying to a question put by Admiral Campbell.

The First Lord said the German representatives during the negotiations in connection with the Anglo- German Naval Agreement, stated that Germany was prepared unreservedly to adhere to the rules of submarine set out in Part IV of the London Naval Treaty.

This provides that except in cases of persistent re- - fusal to stop, on being duly summoned, or active re- sistence to a visit or search, a warship, whether surface vessel or submarine, may not sink or disable merchant vessels without first having placed the passengers, crew and ship's papers in a place of safety."
