MORE RUSSIAN KNAVERY.
PROSTITUTING THE PRIESTAL GARB OPPOSING ITALY IN ABYSSINIA. London, October 4. A message has been received here which reports that two hundred Russian officers, disguised as priests, have proceeded to Abyssinia with the intention of stirring up a more active opposition to the Italian operations there.
It is also reported that an Abyssinian force is advancing to make an attack on Masowah before the Italian troops, now on their way, can have time to arrive to assist the troops now stationed there.
The news has caused some anxiety in Italy.
