ROME, June 2. Tho Italianfleet has destroyed the Austrianwireless station on the Islandof Llssa, off the Dalmatloncoast and the semaphore on theIsland of Cursola.
ROME, June 2. Bombardment of thoAustrian town of Mori, thrco miles fromRovereto, hns begun. Italian batteriesposted on tho heights of Monto Alt,lssl-m- o
havo wrecked tho railway bridgeacross the Adlge and have damagedthe railway statlonP
An Austrian aviator bombarded Mol-fett- a,
on the Adriatic, last night, show-ering bombs near tho Cathedral, thoBishop's Palaco and tho srjip yards.One workman was killed.
Heavy rains havo seriously hamperedtho rush of the Italian troops up thoAdlge. But dispatches received heretodav said the Austrlans had sufferedequally, Hooded mountain torrents wip-ing out some of their lines of trenchesacross tho Adlge valley south ofRovereto.
Weather conditions havo made It Im-possible for the Invading forces to takequick advantage of the capturo ofMonte Zugno, officially announced yes-terday.
The heavy rainfall has converted thomountain roads leading to the heightsInto slippery paths. Thus far It hasbeen Impossible to drag heavy guns uptho mountain side to shell the outerdefenses of Rovereto.
Though the capture of Rovereto nnda march northward to Trentlno Is con-sidered certain here. It was pointed outtoday that neutral conditions give thoAustrlans a tremendous advantage Indefending the Adlgo valley aroundMori.
The enemy Is entrenched behind ahuge pllo of rock deposited by a land-slide of centuries ago. Behind this ad-vanced position are row after row ofrock barricades, thrown up along thorailway from Mori to Rovereto. Fromtheso entrenchments machine guns canplay disastrously on an Invading forcemarching up tho Adlge.
Tho fighting around Rovereto Is at-tracting most attention hero now. Waroffice dispatches Indicate, no resumptionof the clashes along tho Isonzo, butreport satisfactory progress at severalpoints along the Tyrol-Trentln- o frontier.
GERMANS STORM
PEREMYSL FORTS
Defenses Girdling Galician
Stronghold to the North Are
Lost by Russians.
LONDON. Juno 2. In the face ofRussian claims on Monday that theAustro-Germa- n grip on Peremysl hadbeen broken and that the offensive Inthe great Galician struggle had passedto the Russians, come both German andAustrian official statements assertingthat the Austro-Germa- n troops havebeen successful to the north and thesoutheast of the fortress, that the fortsgirding it to the north have fallen Intotheir hands, while to the southeast theyhave wrested Stry from the Russians.
In fact, the Austro-German- s saythat the campaign Is running In theirfavor everywhere In tho eastern zono,from Llbau, In the north, to thosouthernmost tip of the Galician bat-tlo-ll-
It Is apparent that the Russians,since being forced back to the San,have been rushing up heavy
In the hope of avertingtho fall of Peremysl. But the Austro-G-
ermans, undeterred by thelosses, have as yet shown
to accept a purelydefensive role, and the British criticsseem to have been a bit premature insaying that the German thrust haddefinitely failed.
BERNSTORFFI GIVEN
AUDIENCE BY WILSON
(Continued from First Page.)lty to comply with his wishes- - grace-fully. It was the consensus of opinionthat the Berlin foreign office wouldavail Itself of this chance.
From German societies throughoutthe United States It was said largo num-bers of messages wero reaching theWhite House In which, coupled wltnprofessions of loyalty to America con-cerning whose sincerity there could beno mistaking, the hopo was expressedthat tho President would bear In mindthe th character or thestruggle In which their native land wasengaged; tako Into consideration thofact that at such a time Intercourseeven with Its friends could be carriedon as smoothly as when the world is atpeace, and be as consldcrato as he con-sistently could In the tone ho adoptsIn the pending discussion.
This, It was stated on high authorly,the President had every dispositionto do.
Foreign Press Annoying.One thing which has caused a feol-In- g
of worry here Is the apparent at-tempt on tho part of certain Britishand Continental newspapers to causetrouble by misstating the facts.Stories that the United States had as-sured the allies that they can counton support from this country havebeen printed In London and Paris andconveyed to Berlin as facts.
They are entirely false. That Is amatter that has not been taken up bythe President with anyone He re-mains hopeful that when the lastword Is said the years of friendshipbetween this country and Germanywill outweigh everything else andthat a way will be found for peaceand continued friendship without thesacrifice of a single honorable prin-ciple.
It Is because of this that the PresidentIs proceeding very slowly. He Intendsto be fair, those closest to him gay, andhe docs not want to make u move thatcan be construed as giving aid or crm-fo- rt
to Germany's enemies All that heIs striving for Is to cnsuic the respectdue America as one of the world'sgreat powers. And the new note, to goforward next Friday, will be completedin that spirit

SUBMARINE CHASES
U. S. LINER ST. PAUL1
Captain Reported as SayingShip Was Pursued Up toMersey Bar.
NEW YORK, June 2.- -A morningnewspaper today prints a story from itscorrespondent who arrived at LiverpoolBunday aboard tho American llnpr fitPaul, claiming tho captain of that ves-sel admitted being pursued by a Ger-man submarine up to the bar of theMersey. -
Officials of the American Line statedthey had received no word from theirLondon agents regarding tho reportedchasing of the St Paul.
According to. the correspondent, sheand Gugllelmo Marconi were told of thechase after reaching Liverpool.
The story In part follows:"As we approached the war sons
rather elaborate precautions were tak-en to safeguard Mr. Marconi. His nomawas not on either tho regular list orthe purser's books, and there was ageneral tacit agreement among thepassengers that If the St. Paul wasstopped by the submarine we all wouldlie like gentlemen.'
Prepared To Hide Marconi."Mesnwhlle Mr. Marconi removed all
the labels from his luggage, gave hisprivate papers Into my care and gotInto clothes suitable for slipping Intoa hiding placo somewhere down in thebowels of the ship next to the keel,where the chief engineer said the cap-tain himself would be unable to findhim.
"We saw two trawlers and the chil-dren tried very hard to persuade Mr.Marconi to hide. Late In the day, be-
fore we reached the war zone, we heardof the Nebraskan's experience, and thenthe captain wirelessed Uucenstown: 'inview of recent events, don't you thinkyou had better keep your eye on us
"This answer came: "Full speedahead. Alter your course as much aspossible. Submarines watching bar.'
Followed To Mersey Bar."When we landed next morning the)
captain told us the submarine had fol-
lowed us right up to Mersey Bar."Except for the anxiety over Mr. Mar-
coni, the voyage from New York wasmuch the same as usual, with theweather kinder than I have known It inyears, and consequently seaslckn9ifwas at a minimum and good spirits pre-dominated. There were two saddeningIncidents. One first cabin passengerdied and another went mr I. The latterhad two daUKhters and afiWlfe In Bet- -glum who had been lost- - to him sincethe war began and of hose fate hsjknew nothing.
"As we approached the war zone thopassengers asked the captain to IssueInstructions to be observed In case ofdanger. rio consented, although hefeared the nervousness might be In-
creased. The simple Instructions helpedgreatly to imbue the passengers witha spirit of confidence andwhich I believe would have gone far toprevent loss of life had the anticipateddanger arisen."
