ROME, Sept. 22.—American marines | have been landed at Buccari, a small town on an arm of the Gulf of Quer- |nero, about ten miles southeast of Fiume, says a despatch to the Mes- saggero. One American ship is in Fiume Harbor, according to advices, but the anchorage is a considerable distance from the city. WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.—Landing of a party of American marines at Buccari, near Fiume, reported last night in despatches from Milan and Rome, was probably by order of Rear Admiral Phillip Andrews, commander of the Mediterranean squadron, a8 the Navy Department, so far as could be learned early to-day had re- ceived no advices on the subject, Officials said Admiral Andrews without question had authority to order a landing party ashore in event any American interests were endan- gered by the attempted forcible an- nexation of Fiume to Italy by the D'Annunzlo forces.
