TRIESTE, Dec. 30 Gabrielle D.
Annunzio appeared to have dropped
out Of sight in the official negotiations
now in progress. The agreement to
be signed today for Fumes submis-
sion to the treaty of Rapallo and Ital-
ian rule will be subscribed to by tho
Italian government and the local au-
thoritfes to whom D'Annunzio yielded
his power.
General Caviglia commanding the
Italian forces which operated against
the DAnnunzio legionaries will con-
clude the final agreement with Mayor
Rickardo Gigantic of Fiume and Cap
tain Hostwenturi, to whom the de-
Tense Of Fiume was entrusted.
Much speculation prevails among
the Italian officers as to the future of
D'Annunzio. The general opinion ex-
pressed is that he will leave Fiume
and go into exile. D'Annunzio's last
public act was to send out a proclama-
ton complaining of dissension among
the Fiumians. He declared they were
not the sort of people to fight and
die for and denounced them In bit
ter terms.
HostiIities End
Hostilities at Fiume, between Ital-
ian regular troops and D'Annunzian
legfonaries ended Thursday night
The agreement for the capitulation
Of Fiume was signed Friday morning.
Orders for a cessation of fighting
at Fiume apparently followed a re-
port to General Caviglia, commander
OF Italian regulars in Dalmatia, that
the council of Fiume, to which Captain
Gabrielle D'Annunzio had turned over
his power as head as the regency of
the quarnero, and had accepted the
terms of the government
At conference held at Abbasia yes
terday the council gave complete rec
ognition of the treaty of Rapallo
against the application of which d.
Annunzio and his men were fighting
and signed an agreement for the cap
itulaticn Of the city.
The last news from D'Annunzio per-
sonally stated he had resolved to
leave Fiume by airplane, and It is pre-
sumed he planned to take with him
Signorita Luisella Baccara, who has
been in Fiume for several months and
to whom he has declared he will be
married as soon as he is given a
divorce from his present wife.

living conditions in Fiume were not
concealed yesterday at Abbazia by
Pickardo Gigantic, mayor of the city,
during his interview with General Fer
rario in direct command of troops at
tacking the city. He said the popula-
ton was threatened with starvation,
Although an ardent supporter of Dan
nunzio the mayor, urged that an agree
ment be reached to avert the making
of innocent victims of old people,
women and children.
AbbaZia was the headquarters of
diplomatic representatives to the
regency of Quarnero" especially
those from the Balkan states, who
hurriedly left when they realized that
actual siege of the city was about to
begin.
Mayer Is Wounded.
Colonel Mayer of the Carbineers was
perhaps fatally wounded during the
fighting on Monday. He advanced at
the head of his soldiers, declaring he
woud not fire under any circumstances
but was shot down. The troops ran
into all kinds of ambushes and this ir-
ritated the regulars, who, seeing they
were treated like enemies, had re-
course to retaliation. For the same
reason the naval forces in the harbor
found it necessary to fire against some
of the military establishments in the
civ
