BRESCTA, June 29,— Despite the Austrian reinforcements along the whole frontier, the Italians have en- tered the Austrian territory south of precipitous cliffs of Carone Mountain, Valley and reached the Tonale River. {The Tonale River runs for tive miles from Lake Ledro, which has an altitude of 2,000 feet, to the shore of Lake Garda, who: feet.

Tho same electricity is used by the Austrians for charging their wire entanglements.) The Italiang, it 1s reported, reached @ spot near Bezzeca, where in 1866 the Garibaldians defeated the Austrian: Thus the Italians occupied part of the road excavated in rock. uniting Riva with Storo and Brescia, This road was finished in 1851, and is one of the best examples of its kind existing. On the mountains dominating this road, @ short distance from Riva, Austria has constructed a whole ays- tem of fortifications, the strongest be- ing those on the Rocchetta and Oro beaks, which are some 5,000 feet high.

WAR NEWS IN BRIEF. , The Austro-Germans have pursued the retreating Russian army into Russia to the north of Lemberg. The German report says that the engagements in this territory everywhere resulted in defeats for the Russians. The Russians are expected to make a stand at the River Bug. The French have opened a new offensive north of Arras and have made progress between Angres and Ablain. The French War Office admits that the Germans have taken an im portant position near Colmar, in the Vosges. Scutari, the biggest city in Albania, has been captured by the Mon- tenegrin forces, With the announcement in Paris that Italy and Turkey have broken off relations comes the news that Italy is to participate in the campaign against the Dardanelles, This is not officially confirmed. 29.—The WASHINGTON, — June Bids were opened this afternoon in - United States has adopted the prac-| the Comptroller's office for $71,000,000 Italian forces have pierced the Austrian frontier at a new point tl of noti the German Admi- of clty bonds bearing 4% per cent.) reaching the Tonale River through the Nota Vil passes, 5,000 feet high. y thro’ ade ‘ interest.
