ITALIANS WANT WAR

Report Austrians Laying Mines in Adriatic Causes Riots. Crowd* Parade Streets Crying “Down With Austria!” “Give Ue War!”— to Change Cabinet. Rom*-, Oct. 6.— The populace of Rome was driven to a frenzy by publication of reports that Austrians were stall laying mines in the Adriatic. These declared that floating mines were being strewn along the coast by Austrian marines and naval officers dressed as fishermen and operating in fishing boats. Crowds paraded the streets crying: Down with Austria!” and “Give us war!" As a result of threatened attacks on the Austrian and Germans legations the guard over both was redoubled. German and Austrian subjects have been warned to keep off the street, but no effort is made to curb the mobs. A serious outbreak is expected.

Rome. Oct 6.—The Italian cabinet is to be reorganized within a very short time. Marquis de San Guiliano, present minister of foreign affairs and friend of Germany and Austria is to be eliminated, as are several others with whom his influence has been paramount. Premier Salandra is to remain at the hea<| of the cabinet. Ex-Premie, is to accept a portfolio. He is a foe of Germany. Among the others regarded as probable selections for the new cabinet are Signors Sonnino and Luzzati, both radicals; Signor Blssolati, a Socialist, and Signor Bars'llsi, a Triestino, who has always been opposed to the alliance binding Italy and Austria. The new ministry is expected to be practically unanimous on the question of aiding the triple entente as against Austria and Germany.
