T 'AN|vUNz|O FIRES ON
 ITALIAN DESTROYER

FIUME, April 27.--(By The Associ- atedPress)-Gabriele d'Annunzio's bat tery opened fire yesterday evening on an Italian torpedo boat destroyer in the vicinity of Plume. The shells, of which, 20 were fired. fell 1000 yards in front of the course of the vessel. There were no casualties
 The destroyer did not turn from her course and made her landing safely
 D'Annunzio's action was in reprisal for the complete blockade of his stronghold ordered by General Cavig- lia. It seemed apparent that no ef- fort was made to hit the destroyer and that the firing on it was to intimidate its commander and bring about the surrender of the boat. The destroyer at the time was right under the 14-irlch batteries of the Italian dreadnaught, Dante Allighieri.
 Commander Trionfi of the destroyer was praised in General Caviglia's order of the day for brave devotion to duty.
