BIG BATILESH|PS

Washington. Dec. 13.--Two of Aus
trials hattleships have fallen victim TO
the n1oat daring naval raid of the
WRe-~~ths forcing af- the, harl@r> Of
Trieste by two intrepid Italian torpedo
boat destroyers. A dispatch received
at the Italian embassy here today, thus
rscounts the exploit:
I'm the night OF December $40.
Italian torpedo boat dsstroyers entered
Trieste harbor. passing the enemy for
tihcations and landed Ave torpedoes
against two Austrian battleships, one
of them being the Monarde. All Ave
torpedoes exploded. One battleship
foundered. The Italian destroyers
were attacked by guns and torpedoes
but despite this they returned in safe
ty''
The other battleship, II was learned
here. was the Wien, of 5.612 tons, a
complement OF AL men and armed
with ten nine and six-inch guns.
The forcing of the harhor Of Trieste
by any craft had been considered i'm
possible alsi naval men here today are
paying full tribute to the ingenuity,
scamanship and daring of the Italian
commanders.
