AMERICAN FLEET IN ADRIATIC
TO GUARD AGAINST DISORDER
AS RESULT OF ITALIAN ACTION

expected to develop rapidly, Orlando having arrived at Rome.

Lane Explains London Treaty
WASHINGTON, April 26 (by Associated Press).—Secre
tary of the Interior Lane today issued a statement explaining
that the secret treaty of London gave Fiume to Croatia, which
is now a part of Jugoslavia. The Italian claim is based, he says,
on Italian desire to control both sides of the Adriatic. Italy,
with Venice and Trieste, can live happily without Fiume, says
Mr. Lane, while Jugoslavia can not exist without having access
to the sea through Fiume.
Hopeful Feeling at Washington

situation is clearing rapidly. It is stated that the action taken
by President Wilson is indorsed everywhere. Just what devel
opments have taken place is not stated.

situation. Admiral Andrew is at Spalato, one of the centers of
agitation between the Italians and the Jugoslavs. The orders
to the admiral are wholly precautionary. v
Italians Working Themselves Into Frenzy
Reports from the American embassy at Rome are ominous
regarding the general state of public feeling there. Crowds pa
rade the streets crying “Down with the Americans!” “Down
with the English! ” “ Vive Orlando! ’ ’

popidace may result in demands far beyond those which the
peace conference will feel itself able to accept.

can admirals commanding in Adriatic waters have formulated
a plan which would give Italy certain Dalmatian concessions
which would assure Italy control of the Adriatic. Italy, it is
said, considers such control insufficient.
