Signor Giolitti will insist on the settlement of the Adriatic 'question on the lines of the Pact of London. fiiolittan circles assert that Signor Nitti rode for a fall. The bread decree \viirt only the pretext for his resignation. The real reason was 'that he .found the Adriatic question insoluble. The general strike disturbance in Apulia, iu which many rioters were injured in collision with the police and troops, culminated in a revolutionary outbreak at Bari. The troop? drove the rebels out of new Baru, but the rebels built barricades in the old town and fired on the troops. There were many dead and wounded on both sides.—Aus.N.Z. Cable Assn.
