PLOT AGAINST FASCISTS ALLEGED.
TERRORISM IN AMERICA. ROME, February 2. Italian uews transmitted from Now York announces that the American Federal police are on the track of an anti-Fascist terrorist gang with ramifications in six States. The dynamiting last week of the house in Philadelphia of Signor Di Silvestro, the president of the "Sons of Italy Society" and friend of Signor Mussolini, has led to the discovery that for some time explosives have been stolen from mining stores in Pennsylvania and neighbouring States, and that the stolen material has been placed in deposits under control of anti-Fascist elements. In the Philadelphia explosion the houso of Signor Di Silvestro was wrecked, his wife killed, and 12 persons injured, including four children. According to the report now sent here, it is feared that this marks the beginning of a now series of attempts against Italians in the United States. Special precautions have been taken at Washington and at all the Italian consulates. In 1931 several members of the Italian consular service fell victims to terrorists.
