In going over the ground recently captured by them from the Austrians on the Carso the Italians have made many interesting discoveries. The special correspondent of the "Giornale d'ltalia" describes a natural cave south of Jamiano which had been converted into a sort of subterranean "topsy-turvy castle." It was reached by a long flight of stairs, and consisted of four floors; but, of course, one descended from the first to the last, instead of ascending, and the total depth was nearly 500 ft. On the first and uppermost floor lived the regimental stair, and the officers had thoir quarters on the second. Troops were accommodated on the third floor, and below them was a depot for material, arms, munitions, food, and so forth, which the enemy, in his hasty retreat, had no time to remove.
