FROM AUSTRIA.
(By Associated rress.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., May IL AS
the price of peace, Italy is reported to
be expecting from Austria-Hungary the
surrender of the Dual Monarchy's en-
said to amount to demands as regard
/ ing Trent, Triest, Istria and Fiume In
connection with showing the true sig
nifcance of such demands, how great
| is the payment demanded by Italy for
Ter continued neutrality, the National
Geographic Society, following its de
scription of Triest, issued today a
statement dealing with Fiume, the sole
seaport of the Kingdom of Hungary
The statement reads:
''Austria-Hungary carries on its bus
mess with the outside world through
| its great ports, Triest and Fiume. The
future of its overseas commerce is
largely bound up with the development
of these cities; for Triest and Fiume
are the New York and Boston of Aus
tria-Hungary, or, better, they are the
Dual Monarchy's Hamburg and Bre-
men. Fiume is the only outlet of the
Hungarian kingdom to free water, and
the Hungarians have spent millions OF
dollars in their endeavor to make it
model port. The great Austrian poet
and the Hungarian port are keen riv
ais, and, during the last few years,
Fiume has grown somewhat at the cost
of it's northern neighbor.
Owing to the deep interest which
the Hungarians take in their coast city
the business of Ffume has grown rap
idly. There are several harbors; one
for coasting vessels, one for timber,
and a general harbor, begun in 1872,
and capable of accommodating abort
200 large vessels. 1t is protected by
"a breakwater more than half mile in
length, and is uanked by great, mod
ern quay more than two miles long.
The wharves and elevators are equip
ped in the most up-to-date fashion for
the handling of a huge inflow and out
flow of trade. The waterfront, as
the rest of the city, is lighted by cleo
tricity.
I'm 1910, Fiume was entered by H.
$50 vessels of 3,031,381 tons. In ap-
proximate figures, it's business totaled
S55, 100000 divided into an export bus
Iiness of $35 100000 and an import trade
of $20000,000. It's trade is thus about
one-half that of the port Of San Fran
cisco. It's exports consist chiefly of
the agricultural products of Hungary,
grain, -four, sugar timber, horses and
some manufactured wares. The prin-
cipal imports are coal, wine, rice, va
rious minerals, fruit Jute, chemicals
oils and tobacco. There are several
industrial establishments in the city,
among them whitehead's torpedo fac
tory, large paper mill, royal to-
tacco factory, -four mills, tanneries and
rope factories. The fisheries of the
4 " are important, Quarnero Gulf being
filled with food fishes.
"Fiume is picturesqueiy situated at
the head of the Gulf of Quarnero at
the southern base Of the IstrIan trian-
gle, 40 miles southeast of Triest, or
