ITALY.
SENSATIONAL REVELATIONS AS TO BLOWING UP OF, BATTLESHIP. CONSPIRATORS SUBSIDISED BY THE CENTRAL POWERS. FOR UNDERMINING ITALY'S DEFENCE. Received June 10, 7.50 p.m. Rome, June 9. The inquiry into the blowing-up of the battleship Benedetto Brin led to the court-martialling of four of tho survivors, three of whom boasted that they participated therein from anarchist motives. The fourth, named Carpi, confessed that he had been solely tempted by Austria's money. The others went to Switzerland and received infernal clock machines, made in Germany, and bombs were subsequently attached thereto, causing the disaster. The evidence showed that all four belonged to a Becret society, subsidised by Austro-German funds, for undermining Italy's national defence. Sensational disclosures are awaited in connection with the gunpowder plot at the depots.—Press Association.
