Captain Gabrielle D'Annunzio who
refuses to evacuate the city and per
init Italy to put into operation the
provisions of the treaty Of Rapallo.
Despaches received here, state that
military works along the line mark
ing the frontier of the regency of

italian destroyer il said to have
shelled D'Annunzio batteries on the
Island of Veglia, southwest or

low islands, has been foiled. Men

mands the southern entrance to the
canal, were forced to retreat, some
of them being cap,ured and others
disarmed. D'Annunzio legionaries

at Zara are said to have fled from

1t is asserted that D'Annunzio
planned to abandon Ffume and to
land somewhere along the Dalma-
tian coast where he would raise the
banner of revolt hoping to create
a situation which would nullify the
treaty of Rapallo. His scheme.
however, is said to have been frus-
trated by government troops, which
