London, Apr. 30.

The Chanceller of the Exchequer.

Addis Ababa, April 30. Grave fears of treachery in the Ethiopian lines have been aroused by the capture of Mount Tarmadur on the northern front, near Debra Brehan, 70 miles from Addis Ababa. This was a key position, commanding two roads from Dessiye to Addis Ababa.

It appears 1,000 reinforcements were sent to stem the Italian advance on the capital at this point, but they failed to arrive as they received no supplies.

In consequence, the garrison of the stronghold at Tarmadur, held by only 330 men under the Swedish Captain Tamm, was forced to retire in the face of the overwhelming odds against it—Reuter Special.
