Italy Surrenders Big Ethiopian Stronghold
Duke of AOsta Has Accepted Terms of British; Two More Strong Zones Still Held; Aosta Was
 Forced to Ask for Peace
BY FREDERICK KUH United Press Staff C0rrespOndent)

London, May l9.--(UP)-Italy's garrison at Amba Alagi, the last great Fascist stronghold in Ethiopia has accepted the surrended terms of the British high command in East Africa, 1t was announced today.
 It was expected that the British forces, who had advanced from North and South along the Asmara- . Adds Ababa highway to surround the Italians on their mountain StronRpoint, would take Amba Alag during the day and make the Ital- Ian army prisoners.
 (The Italian high command said that the garrison had been ordered to surrender and that the Duke of Aosta, viceroy of Ethiopia and cols- in Of King Victor Emmanuel, was q prisonerJ
 The Italian garrison was eStimat- cd to total somewhat more than 1000 men. most of them Italians as thousands of native troops had deserted and joined the British em- pirc and Ethiopian armies.
 Two More Remain
 TWO Italian strongho!ds remained --Gondar, in Northwestern Ethio- pia, and the lake region South of AddiS Ababa. But It was estimated that there were only 700 Italian troops and q few thousand unrelI- able natives in the Gondar area, now the most important unconquer- cd position remaining, Estimates that 22,000 white Italians and l5-, 900 natives remained in the lake region were believed here to be highly excessive.
 The Italian resistance In all Ethiopia seemed to be collapSing and 1t was believed here that thou sands of British empire troops and hundreds of arplaneS would be re- leased soon to reinforce the armies in Palestine, Iraq and Egypt.
 The Duke of Aosta Viceroy of Ethiopia and cousin of King Victor Emmanuel of Italy, had sent emis- saries to sue for surrender terms for the Italians on Amba Alagl, the rugged, towering peak on the main hiehway in Northeastern Ethiopia between ASmara, capital of Eritrea, and Addis Ababa, capital of Ethio- pia.
