FOUNDED REGULARS
TAKEN TO HOSPITALS
Majority Were Struck BY Machine Gun
Bullets or Splinters of Hand
Grenades.

Rome, Dec. 23.-D'Annunzian legion
aires at Fiume last night set fire to q
powder magazine in the Regina valley,
southeast of the city, according to a re-
port from Abbazia. The explosion,
which occurred toward midnight, set
fire to the woods surrounding Fiume to
the east and great clouds of black
smoke rolled down over the city. In
some quarters the belief was expressed
that a petroleum refinery near the
powder magazine had also been set on
FIRE
Italian regular troops surrounding
Finme continued to advance west and
north of the city yesterday, while on
the eastern side the situation was
unchanged as the regular troops remain
on one side of the Enfo river and the
legionaires on the other and it is inn
possible to cross this stream because
the bridges have been destroyed. The
E. fiercest fighting occurred west of FL
ume, where Alpini advancing from Cas-
ira reached the public gardens. When
they had forced their way, however,
they found all the houses surrounding
the gardens had been transformed into
machine gun nests, from which a ter
rife fire was poured upon them.
An armored car advanced against
the regulars and inflicted heavy losses,
the Alpini throwing themselves on
the ground and continuing the strug-
Gle for some time. Major Dambara, in
command Of the Alpini, rode through
the gardens on horseback and rushed
toward the car, but was wounded twice
and his horse was shot dead. When the
FIRE ceased he struggled to the car. and
found three dead legionsires and two
seriously wounded commissioned Off
GERS.
Wounded regulars have been taken
in motor lorries to Triest and Gorilla,
where special hospitals were organized.
The number of men being taken to
these hospitals is increasing hourly and
all agree in declaring that the regu-
lars find themselves handicapped in
their fight against the legionaires. They
are armed only with rifles, while the
D'Annunzisn troops Use hand grenades
and machine guns and, besides, have
laid mines everywhere 50 that at every
step the government soldiers are in
danger Of being blown up or killed by
debris and splinters. Two houses in
Plume have already been destroyed BY
mines.
The majority Of the wounded were
struck BY machine gun bullets or splin-
trrs of hand grenades They say the
regular troops we're ordered not 70 fire
unless absolutely obliged TO do 50.
while the legiouaires have taken every
advantage 10 inflict the heaviest posi-.
be losses upon their assailants. While
AZ the beginning Of the struggle the

psriority. their progress j. slgw - the
