The Chronicle's Turin correspondent states that a desperate battle raged on the Laverado heights in the Tyrol from the Ist to the sth. It began in a blizzard and continued in bitterly cold weather. Then a fog came on, and it was so dense that the searchlights Were unable to penetrate it, and the soldiers on both ,side.s grappled with their comrades among the rocks.
