STARVATION FACES

PINCH OF HUNGER is FELT
WHEN REGULARS ENFORCE
THE BLOCKADE.
TROOPS GUARDING LINES
Civil Population of BeIeaguered Ma
ton Become Uneasy as They Be-
Gin to Suffer and Food
Prices Increase.

Trieste-Fiume, Arbe, Veglia and
San Marcos, under blockade by the
Italian fleet, already are beginning to
feel the scarcity Of food. The greater
part of Gabrielle d'Annuncio's troops
are remaining in their barracks at
Fiume, and their officers are in d.
rect communication with the poet,
who looks after the military as well
as the political affairs Of the be-
leaguered cities.
Immediately after official notice Of
the blockade was given to the re
gency Of Quarrero," the Italian gen.
eral Ferrario, who already had a
group of soldiers posted around the
Fiume frontier, closed in upon the
city. barring all exits on three sides.
For about 100 yards out Of the city,
the railway tracks were torn up. stop
ping traffic into the city. The roads
Immediately outside were torn up,
and those crossing the frontiers were
barred with tree trunks and wire en-
tanglements. Here and there trenches
have been dug, from which patrols
are keeping lookout.
Regular troops surround the block
ade line at short intervals. Royal
guards and carabiniers hold the sea
line. while Alpine troops dominate
the city from the northeastern
heights. What is considered the most
dangerous spot, however, is the mouth
of the River Reoina.
D'Annunzio, according to informa-
ton leaking out of Fiume, virtually
is taking no rest, and is displaying
great nervous activity in the work of
defense. He is issuing orders, giving
advice, writing proclamations and re-
citing aloud.
The post commander Is highly in
dignant about some of the conditions
in General Caviglia's ultimatum, es.
pecially that pertaining to the dis.
bandment of his legionaires, which he
declares had right to form an army
for its own defense, even with for.
eign subjects, as France and Holland
have done in the case Of their for.
eign legions.
Meanwhile the blockade has caused
great increase in the price Of all
necessaries, some of which have
reached fantastic sums, as, owing to
| the danger of starvation, many Of the
people have bought large stocks OF
food. Tins Of condensed milk, fol
instance, have entirely disappeared
from the market, while fresh milk Is
not coming in from the neighborine
country. which is occupied by Italian
forces.
