an hour yesterday Minister of War
Bonomi conferred with King Victor
Emanuel over the Fiume situation.
The war minister afterwards pro-

lengthy one. Signor Bonomi, who
was due to leave for Geneva as Ital-

stood out i'm contrast to d'Annunzio' S
little fleet of one dreadnought, fouT
destroyers and smaller craft moor
ed at the Fiume wharves.
Some of d'Annunzio's soldiers on
the shore emptied their rifles at the
fleet by no casualties resulted.
The whole maneuvre was part OF

at about 1000, including detached
