ITALY’S AFRICAN COLONIES
GRIP ON CYRENACIA STRENGTHENED London, February 28. The “Daily Mail’s” Rome correspondent says that following a series of strenuous operations, Italian and colonial troops have extended the occupation of Cyrenacia to the edge of the Libyan Desert, and permanently garrisoned two oases controlling the caravan routes. Well armed Arabs defended Tagrift to the last gasp. Elsewhere a thousand horsemen resisted the Italians for several hours, leaving three hundred dead. The total killed was five hundred and many prisoners and much booty were captured. The Italians lost 210 killed and wounded.—Sydney “Sun.”
