Rome, May -c.-The deeision of King
Victor Emanuel and (lie imlebiiers of
the ministry not to take 1)ar1 in (lie
unveiling of the Garibaldi 3m1o3nment
at Quarto Sant Qanaa Was commented
on today as a step of very great sig
nilleance. The presence of his ma
Jesty at the uinlveling had )ec(omile to
be regarded as virtually tantamount
to a declaration of war.
Now (le change in plians is regalrd
ed as meaning that Italy's partielpa
lion in wai again has beeni postponed.
Efforts to reach an agreement may
ultimately lie successful. Tle (ecision
was annoinced after the cabinet
meeting, as follows: "Inl view of (he
international situation, the king and
his cabinet cannot. leave lie capital
to take part in the unveiling of the
Garibaldi monument."
Abandonment of the plans is be.
lieved to have resulted from the visit
of Prince von Bucow to Baron sans
mo Sunday night. The details of this
conference are supposed to have been
presented at a hurriedly called meet
ing of the cabinet. Ijnmediately af
ter the cabinet meeting closed, Baron
Sansmo went to -the German consul
ate, where he made a verbal presenta
tion of the action of the cabinet.
