TRIESTE, Dec. 80 (By The Associated
Press ).-Gabriele d'Annunzio appears
to have dropped out OF sight in tho
official negotiations now in progress
and the agreement to be signed to-day
for Fumes submission to the Treaty
Of Rapallo and Italian rule will be sub
scribcd to by the Italian government
and the local authorities, to whom
E'Annunzio has yielded his power.
General Caviglia, commanding the
Italian forces which operated against
the D'Annunzian legionarles will con-
clude the final agreement with Mayor
Rickardo Gigantic of Fiume and Cap
tain Hostwenturi, to whom the defense
of Fiume was intrusted.
Exile for D'Annunzio
r. Much speculation prevails among the
Italian officers as to the future Of
D'Annunzio. The general opinion ex-
pressed is that he will leave Fume and
go into exile. D'Annunzio's last public
act was to send a proclamation COM
planning of dissonsion among the
tlumlans. He declared they were not
the sort of people to fight and die for,
and denounced them in bitter terms.
Quarnero Bay was quiet yesterday
morning when at 9 o'clock the Fiume
plenipotentaries' sub-chaser pulled up
to the quay at Abbazia, where the pre-
liminary negotiations wore held and
where the arriving delegates notified
General Ferrario, who commanded the
blockading force at Fiume, of their ac-
ceptance of the Rapalo pact The sub
chaser bore white flag
Captain Hostwenturi and Mayor Gi-
gante were driven in an automobile to
division headquarters, where con-
ference was held Tuesday night last
ing more than three hours. At the
conclusion Of the conference The Fiume
delegates took the same sub-chascr
back to the city with the announcement
that they would return this morning to
atfix their signatures finally and ar
range details of the agreement.
Fiume in Ferment
The lengthy nature of the morning
meeting was due largely to discussion
regarding what disposal would be made
OF the legionaries. The penpoten-
tiares from Fiume pleaded that these
soldiers be kept at the city, but this
was refused. The other points dis
cussed included the internal situation
at Flume, which is reported to be in
ferment over the idea OF resisting the
Italian government. There is fear Of
disorder among the factions contend
ing for power, and the delegates
sought an armed force to insure public
safety and order.
The Associated Press was told that
the poets signature was unnecessary
for consummation Of the agreement,
and that the signature of the delegates
as representatives of the de facto GOV
ernment would suffice
ROME, Dec. 3O.-The Giornale dTta-
lla reports that D'Annunzio has lett
Fiume in an airplane, going first to
Venice and later to Paris.
D'Annunzio's destination is unknown,
but the speculation includes Ireland
for which he has always expressed
sympathy.
An nrplane has been flying over
Fiume territory and in the district be-
tween cara and Trieste scattering pa
