In the
Italian Chamber of Deputies
Signor Kaffi disapproved of the order addressed by the
War Minister to the army, and expressed his belief that civil war in
Italy was impossible.
The impatience of those who desired
Rome for the
Capital was not culpable, but generous.
The Minister of War replied that he was convinced he had expressed the sentiments of the country and the army.
He continued as follows: ‘"Promontory of discord do not compromise the
King, but the
Government was obliged to disavow their proceedings.
The army will always be faithful to the
King, and do its duty on all occasions.
Everything possible will be done to avoid civil war, but acts contrary to the wish of the nation will not be permitted,"’ [Loud applause.]
