Home, Jan.' 18. In the Italian Chamber
Of Deputies' yesterday, Signor Deprotis,
President of the Council, in reply to the
interrogation by Signor Ercole, regarding
the disappearance of Cfoionel Gala, and
what steps the Government bad taken in
the matter of the recapitulated facts. Col.
Gala, the ,Iialian member of i the Servian
Boundary Commission 1 went from Bel
grade to Bucharest with Maj. Wilson, of
. the same'- Commission. The latter left
Bueharist on the 3rd December, and was
to rejoin- Col. Gala at liiHstchuk, when
? they were to proceed together to Con-
tstantiuople, but Major Wilson has never
sseen Col. Gala since he left him in Bu
charest, and do trace his been found of
him, though official in uiries have been
made inevery directions. Signor DePrets
stated that notwithstand ng the most dili
gent efforts of the Italian Government and
its agents, nolhing had beenascertained
throwing any light on tjhe mystery. He
said he trusted the Roumanian Government
would not fail iri the duty incumbent upon
it of making searching inquiry in the case.
Signor Ercole was dissatisfied with the
reply. He insisted -thai the Roumanian
Governments was responsible for - the dis
appearance of Col. Gala,) and declared that
if the Italian ; Government did not make
itself respected in. matters, and lake such
steps as appeared to him sufficient, he
should move a vote of. want of confidence
in the Government. '
