ITALIANS NEAR TRIESTE. THE WAR ON CATHEDRALS. BRILLIANT ITALIAN ACTION. - REPULSE TURNED TO VICTORY i ■ Received June 11, 8.5 p,m. . Rome, June 11. ; The Italians are within seventeen miles of Trieste. The Vossicho Zoitung announces that a_ wireless telegraph report says antiaircraft guns have been placed on the I Cathedral of Nulan and St. Mark's, Venice. This is to justify aerial attacks. The Italian authorities say the statement is false, and it is evident the object is to prepare public opinion for outrages similar to Rheims and Louvain. Details of the capture of Preikofel Pass show the Austrians made a desperate resistance for three days, and repeatedly rallied and flung themselvs on the small Italian force holding the pass. Artillery were unable to intervene, and left the struggle to men with bayonets and rifles, fighting shut in by towering rocks. Ajt a critical moment three fresh Austrian regiments were thrown in, and sadly decimated the Italian front, lho officers ordered the Alpini to die rather than yield an ich. The charge drove the Alpini down the pass, but, reforming, they brought the Austrian rush to a standstill, and by steadily feeding the line aha entrenching, the Italians made their position secure until the Austrians refused a"ain to face steel. Then the Alpini assumed the olln-.sive, and converted a repulse into a rout. AUSTRIANS DESTROY OWN FORT. A GREAT STRONGHOLD WRECKED. ENVELOPMENT OF ENEMY THREATENED. ITALIANS REPULSE ATTACKS.
