[From the Messaggero of Rome, Jan. 6, 1915.]
DURAZZO, Jan. 4.
Yesterday the rebels by a letter signed "The Mussulman Committee"
demanded that the Ministers of Servia and France be consigned to them.
At 6:30 o'clock the attack against the city began.
Essad Pasha visited the trenches, notified the Italian Legation that
there was great danger, and demanded all possible assistance.
At 2:30 a few cannon shots from the Misurata and the Sardegna made
themselves heard, defending the city, silencing in this way the rebel
musket fire.
The Italian colony and the legations of Italy, France, and Servia are
embarked on the ships Sardegna and Misurata.
