Rome, April 19.

An official account of the battle on the southern Ethiopian front between forces commanded by General Nasi, consisting of a Libyan Division, and the warriors under Ras Abbeb Dedamtu, states that several thousand Ethiopians were killed, including some of their important chieftains.

The Italians admit the loss of ten officers killed and wounded and three airmen wounded. No figure is given of the casualties in the ranks.

Two Italian planes, it is admitted, came down in their own lines.
