In Italy.
A special caIblegram from Rome to

that the governor OF the ancient clta-
del Of Aquilla. contemplating repairs
IN the subterranean arrangements OF
the old pile. a wall was broken
through. whcreupon an ancient death
chamber was discovered full OF bodies
Of men and women, many OF them
wearing uniforms and fine dresses. The
bodies, being shat Off from air, were
perfectly preserved; there were no cof-
fms. Some OF the corpses leaned
against the walls, others lay in heaps
on the floor.
Investigation showed that the dead
were prisoners Of war during the
French invasion OF 1895 and that they
were either murdered by the garrison
or by the French when the citadel was
taken. Many Of the bodies had stab
and shot wounds; others had knives
and stilettos sticking in the throat or
breast One hundred and forty-ive
bodies were recovered. among them
