(SPECIAL TO “TELEGRAPH")
(By Telegraph. Copyright, Telegraphic Messages Ordinance,. 1864. Received Nov. 1, 10.20 a.m.)
Addis Ababa, Oct. 31. An official communique states that the ferocious Danakail tribesmen have severely defeated the Italians near Mussa Ali in two night attacks.
At least fifteen Italian soldiers were slain in an attack on a supply train."
"Many were killed in an attack on an Italian column, including infantry, artillery tanks, which were proceeding westward through the desert from Mangala," says the communique.
The Ethiopians believe the Italians are attempting to establish a desert air field near Alguera and scouts have reported that 15,000 Italian native troops are con- centrated west of Mussali.
