The Italian fish- ing industry had been brought to a standstill, and there was wideâ€" spread indignation over the de- struction of the fishing vessel by mines planted by the Austrians. The Austrian Government sent a communication to Italy deploring the incident, and giving assurances that measures would be taken to prevent a, repetition of such a dis- aster.
