their instructions. Accordingly. the
committee will meet again tomorrow
to determine what action it will take.
The committee found that Mr. Hef'in
wanted TO send for witnesses from dig

amount Of evidence to present. 1t also
found that newspaper men desired to
take oath as to the truth of certain
quotations which Hefin has denied. Ir

Italian Cruiser
Proves Invincible
Keats of Sea and Air Attacks
While Fighting Fire in
Her Hold

WASHINGTON, Oct. "details OF
the Italian cruiser Aquila's fight In the
Adriatic with Austrian airplanes, de-
stroyers and cruisers, reaching here
to-day from Rome, add to yesterdays
emile account a thrilling story Of how
the Italian ship, while fighting hre IN
her own hold. drove off the destroyers,
was bombed by the hydro-airplanes'
end single-hsnded, engaged three Aus.
trian cruisers until help came, ana
then safely got to port under her own
steam.
When the vessel sighted two Aus
trian destroyers of the Tatra type
headed toward Cattaro, the Austrian
naval base, she put on full speed ana
attacked the destroyers, seriously dam
aging both of them, shooting OF their
tunnels and making several hits on
their huls. Just as It appeared mat
the Austrian vessels would be obliged TO
succumb fire broke out on board the
Aquila.
Then the two Austrian destroyers
succeeded in escaping, finding refuge IN
the port of Durazzo, and large num-
Der Of Austrian hydro airplanes were
seen advancing. lhey soon SURROUNDED
the Aqula and began to drop bombs on
her, causing some damage and killing
some Of the crew. The Italians sue
ceeded in extnguishing the fire aboard
the Aauila and attacked the aircraft
vigorously, forcing them to withdraw.
The hydro airplanes, however, disap-
peared, only to give place to three big
Austrian cruisers, the Ayda, the Ma
vara and the Asparn.
The commander Of the Aquils en-
gagged all three ships, meanwhile by
wireless calling for assistance. Very
soon Italian destroyers came up, sup
ported by some English craft Of the
same type, and the three Austrian
cruisers withdrew precipitately, one OF
them, the Navarro, severely damaged,
her first commander seriously wounded
and the second commander killed.
