Rome, To-day.

All those found guilty of the attempted assas- sination of the Viceroy of Ethiopia, Marshal Graziani, will be executed immediately on orders from Rome.

At present 2,000 suspects are be ing cross-examined by a military tribunal, which is faced with the difficult task of finding the initia tors of the crime.

Intense search of the native quarter of Addis Ababa is still con- tinuing and the streets are being patrolled day and night by Italian troops, 30,000 of whom are stand- ing by under arms.

Life in the Ethiopian capital has resumed a normal aspect, except for the constant military patrols, while no untoward incidents have been reported from the provinces.

Marshal Graziani's condition has improved and there is no cause for anxiety in the case of General Liot- ta, chief of the air force, whose leg was amputated Trans Ocean,
