Famous Historian Expires In Rome, Aug. 1.—The new sovereigns of Italy landed at Reggio, in the province of Calabria, yesterday morning, disembarking from the yacht Yela. They started at once for Naples, where the ministers and several senators and deputies intended to meet them, but the king declined to see any one or discuss affairs of state until after having joined his mother and seen the body of the late monarch. In Italy. This government holds to its position that there shall be no parley with the Chinese. No thought will be given to any proposition from China until Ministei Conger has been placed ju full and free communication with the state depart ment. Even Should this be done, tke government* will not hastily stop its troops from advancing on Peking. It regards the rescue of its minister, its mariues, i't missionaries and. the American women and children as of primary importance, and the present disposition is to aecora plish that tirst and to talk, if need be, afterward. The conviction is growing that an attempt to compromise will be a useless waste of time, and therefore the allies should not be stopped in their advance while negotiations are in progre9fi between the Chinese and the powers.

All legations have been blockaded since 18th of last mouth, and since the 20th we have beeu attacked continually night and day by the Chinese soldiers from more than teu encampments. By a supreme effort we are still defending. We are daily awaiting with the greatest anxiety arrival of re-enforcing army, and if you can't reach here in less than a week's time It is probable that we will be unable to hold out any longer.

All the Italian troops have taken the oath of allegiance to the new king amid the applause of the people. Perfect tranquillity reigns throughout the country. A report from General Chaffee, giving his views of the military situation, is expected today. The government Is willing to depend on what General Chaffee says, and his views are therefore looked forward to witU'intense interest. That he will report that an immediate advance will be justified Is the expectation here, based, perhaps, on knowledge of the character of General Chaffee's instructions.One of these foreign secret service agents was recognized in the streets there yesterday. He has been employed before in special work by the Italian consul general, but from what can be learned it is upon direct instructions froiu Koine that the present investigation is being prosecuted. The purpose of the arrangement is fully disclosed by the inclusion in the modus vivendi of a provision in these terms: In the absence of the new king the ministry issued in his name this manifesto to the nation: DIRECTOR SHENG IS DISCREDITED We have grouped them in three lots, ai follows : "It is understood, as formally set forth in communications of the department of state of the United States, that the citizens or subjects of either power found by this arrangement within the temporary jurisdiction of the other shall suffer no diminution of the rights and privileges which they now enjoy."

It was au immediate success. It still holds its place as a textbook in many schools. As to the diplomatic situation, the government cannot find anything in the official dispatches' from Pekiug to foreign governments to change its position that a state of war does not exist. "The nation, wounded in its sincere affection for the august dead and in a sincere feeling of devotion and adhesion to the dynasty, while execrating the cruel crime, will be plunged into profound grief for the venerated memory of a good, brave and magnanimous king, the pride of his people and the worthy perpetuator of the traditions of the house of Savoy. By rallying with unshakable loyalty around his august successor Italians will prove by their deeds that their institutions do not die."
