The new fall completely blocked the opening rescue gangs lad CUL into the half-flooded shaft where Dr. D. E. Robertzen, Toronto surgeon and part owner of the mine, and Mr. Alfred Seniding, mine official, wait for deliverance. The body of the

GUARDS FALL
ON ITALIAN CAMP
Addis Ababa, Apr. 22. There has been heavy fighting in the Warraĥabu region, where the Crown Prince's Guards claim to have. repulsed numerous attacks by the Italians.-
At nightfall the Ethiopians worked their way by inaccessible goat tracks around a steep mountain side and suddenly fell upon the Italians' rear.
It is alleged the Italians broke and fled, leaving a portable wireless transmitter and many rifles behind them.
Yesterday the Italians made repeated assaults upon Tarmabir Mountain, along the sides of which the Dessive-Addis Ababa road climbs, with innumerable hairpin turns. Three times, the Ethiopians claim; they repulsed Italian attacks, each time inflicting serious losses. The Italians finally, abandoned the attempt to take the Ethiopian positions by storm..
The Crown Prince has arrived at Addis Ababa to help to organise the defences of the city-Reuter,
