A mong these are Ala, Riva and Rovedo The population of these places, large ly Italian, welcomed the incoming italian army with open arms.

In the skirm- ishes between the Italian van guard and the Austrian rear, the superior dash of the Italians has generally re- suited to their advantage. The King has crossed the border into Austria, and is everywhere warmly received by troops and residents. A sharp engagement occurred on the frontier Monday between the towns of Peri and Ala, in which several hundred Austrians were captured. One Ger man, an officer was taken.

Paris, May 25-By way of Sicily ment between the rival sea powers of Austria and Italy. Owing to the fact that the Italian government has positively forbade the presence of correspondents with either army or navy, it is impossible to state what ships were engaged, but this much is known: That the main squadron of tEe Italian fleet under the com mand of Duke Abruzzi encountered a heavy column of the Austrian yes sells in the upper Adriatic Sunday and engaged them' in battle. The Austrians being the weaker. fled for Pola, the Austrian naval base, persued by the Italian sehips. The gpnnery .of the latter was superior to that of the Austrians, and three of the smaller, slower vessels of the latter were sunk by gun fire. Two others, disabled, hauled down their eolors and surrendered to the Italians. TWO of the Italian vessels were damaged, but neither seriously. The victor ious Italian fleet returned to its base yesterday, when the story was made public. Rome and the other cities of Italy are in gala array today in celebration of the event. The Ital- ian fleet is probably twenty per cent. stronger than the Austrians and possesses some of the heaviest armed shops afloat. One of Italy's newest battleships is 800 tons greater dis
 lacement than England's Queen
 Elizabeth, and is more heavily armed.
 ustria has four vessels of the dread
 Aught type to Italy's six.

KEEP AN OPEN MIND

The general interest manifested IN the water

it is meeting with, is, Of course, highly gratifying.
There is urgent need, however, that all should
keep an open mind on the subject, and be prepared
to accord 1.-THE Plan when announced by the
mayor and commissioners, unpr"judiced cOnsldera-
ton.
There is danger Of a good thing being lost IN
A maize Of theory. No matter how cocksure You
may be that your own pet scheme IS best, 1t Will
be well to bear in mind the fact that the officials
are in a position to know more about the matter
than the laynau,
Nothing is surer than that the officials having
charge Of this important question will not declare
for any specific plan until all possible plans have
been thoroughly and carefully investigated that
the plan finally presented will represent the best
study and talent available.
To bring quickly to the plan finally announced
the support Of public opinion, will mean the ar.
complishment Of the enterprise, while to favor the
thing itself yet split into factions over the means
that, as on previous occasions, will prove ruInons
What the. city desires above everything else
what If must have, If it is to 90 forward with nc
uncertainty, is an adequate supply Of water. Ir
the very act Of procuring this. the city will be
given a wonderful impetus. The matter is SC
thoroughly understood that there is probably LITTLE
danger Of n mistake being made.
