BY United Press.
Rome, Dec. 31.-Peace at Fmme
today awaited only the signature OF
the Fiume authorities and repre2en-
tatives of the Italian government
The agreement Is to be signed at
Abbizia.
Gabriel d'Annunzio's next act was
awaited with interest but without
trepedation by government Officials.
The poet has expressed intense IN
terest in the IrisA situation and it is
believed that he may bob up" next
as the angel Of Sim Fein.
Hostilities at Fmme between Ital-
ian regular troops and dAnnunzian
legionaires ended Wednesday night.
Orders for a cessation of fighting
at Fiume apparently followed a re-
port to General Cavilglia, commander
of Italian regulars in Damatia, that
the council of Fume to which Capt.
Gabrielle dAnnunio had turned over
his powers as head of the regency
of Quarnero,' had accepted the
terms Of the Italian government.
AT a conference held at Abbaia
the council gave complete recogni-
ton OF the treaty Of Rapallo, against
the ppliction Of which d'Annunzio
and his men were fighting and signed
an agreement for the capltulation
of the city. The last news from dan
nunzio personally stated he had re-
solved to leave Fiume by airplane
and it is presumed he planned to
take with him Signorita Lusella
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 Il divorce from his
present wife Signorita Baccara re-
fused to leave the poetsoldier wtsl
an attack on the city was imminent,
declaring she would rather be killed
than TO quit the city.
A dispatch quotes Gabrielle dan
nunzio in manifesto as saying
"I am still alive and inexonorable.
Although 1 prepared myself yester-
day for sacrifice and already had
coforted my soul, l feel today dis
posed to defend my life by all means.
81 offered it hundreds Of times
smilingly in my war but it is not
worth while to throw it away in the
service of people who c0nld not be
distracted even for moment from
their Christmas greediness while we
were assassinated By their govern
ment.'
There was little determination to-
day between the regulars OF the Ital-
ian army and the legionaires who
defended Fiume, but it was clearly
evident that on both sides was eager
ness for peace.
