Austrians Have Taken
10000 Prisoners.

Vienna, Sept 3.-The official COM
munication describes the great battle
of the IsonZo as continuing in the ut
most desperation, and that the Aus
TRANS were victorious In resisting the
heaviest attacks OF the Italians. The
text follows:
italian theater: The great battle
of the Isonzo continued with the ut
most desperation. We VIGOROUSLY
resisted the heaviest thrusts of the
enemy. In the region to the north
west of Kal two strong Italian at
tacks broke down in the morning.
Near Podloscoe- MadOni and Britof,
the enemy launched masses of troops
without interruption throughout the
day and until late at night. All his
attacks were defeated by the stub
born resistance of our brave soldiers.
Italian Cavalry Used.
1.-THE enemy employed fresh means
with view 10 breaking our resist
ance. which were hardly TO be expect
ed in this terrain. East OF Britof,
Italian cavalry attacked us. but was
annihilated by our machine-gun fire.
There was hot fighting against
Monte San Gabrielle when the enemy
again stormed this bulwark Toward
evening he succeeded in entering our
trenches, but after nightfall, during a
tempest, we made counter-thrust.
This new struggle ended with the
hurried flight of the Italians.
East of Gorilla the pressure ex-
erted by the enemy is unabated. Dur
ing the forenoon there were only iso-
lated attacks, which we repulsed.
Mass Thrust Fails.
'In the afternoon the enemy
launched general mass thrust, after
several hours of drum fire, against
the central points in the San Marco
district. Here, as everywhere be-
tween ST. Caterina and Vertojobe, our
first line held with bayOnet and gre
nades. Near Costanjewita our front
slightly advanced after a successful
surprise attack, In which the enemy
suffered exceedingly heavy losses.
