occupied the Cnporetto Heights, between the
Idria and IsonzO rivers, and from GomOns,
Cervlgnana aud Terzo the enemy withdrew,
destroying bridges and burning houses. Our
torpedo, boat destroyers fired against the
enemy's detachnents at Porto Buoo, and
dis8mbQrked troops. We captured seventy
Austrians, who have been sent to Venice.
Our losses were one man killed and some
wounded. A steamship arriving at Barletta
reports that while passing the prOmOntOry
of Cargonn at midnight she sighted au Aus
trian war3hip with a heavy list, escorted by

graph Company ut Amsterdam says that Cor
many has asked the United States for adelNy
OF one week in making the reply to the lat

tNry of State for the Colonies.
