THE ARMISTICE SCENE. A HISTORIC EVENT. AUSTRIAN'S HAVE TO SWALLOW THEIR PRIDE. Received Nov. 6, 9.15 p.m. London. Nov, 5. Mr. Jeffries, describing the armistice scene, says the iirst envoy was an Austrian captain lacking credentials. After he had been questioned he was sent back with a message demanding a reBentative accredited for the mission. The Austrians swallowed their pride rnd sent, under a white flag, eight military and naval officers, headed by General von Weber. The party was conveyed to villas near General Diaz's headquarters. General Padoglio, with a cavalry escort, arrived on Sunday and met the Austrians, v.iio were lined up in the drawing-room, von Weber being imposingly uniformed, starred and beribboned. General Badoglio asked their errand, and said a written answer would be supplied. They then withdrew. Telegrams were exchanged with Versailles and the precise terms were handed to von Weber, who transmitted them to his Government.
The Austrians were much depressed, and betrayed t'iic effects of the need of food.—Times Sen-ice.
