Oct. 1. - That Gabrielle l)'Annunzio considers a state of war exists between Jugo-Slavia and the Italian forces under his command, was revealed in reports of negotia tions between the port commander and the head of the French mission in Fiume. D'Annunzio has ordered severance of telegraphic comnmunication be tween Fiume and Agram, capitals of Croatia and Slavonia. The French representatives protested, insisting that communications be resumed. In refusing to grant the request, D'An nunzio replied, that in his opinion, a state of war exists with the Jugo Slavs. A Berne dispatch declared that the Serbian government was planning a military expedition against D'Annun zio, but at the last moment the cab inet members decided to hear the CRISIS IS PASSED SAYS GENERAL WOOD , Man Whose Wife Was Bru tally Assaulted to Be Prosecuted.

A detachment of 150 Amer icans were immediately entrained for itiant to effect Sperling's release. On arriving there, three cossacks were taken as hostages, but found General Kalmikoff's nmen entrenched and pre pared to use force against the Ameri cans. It is stated that a Japanese officer interceded at that time for the cos sackls, and said that in the event of hostilities between the Americans iand the cossacks, the Japanese troops at TInan would side with the latter. It was finally learned that Sperling had been taken to Khaborovsk, where Kalmnikoff had his headquar ters. A telegram was sent to Khab orovsk, demanding the repease of Sperling, which brought a reply that Sperling would be released immeldi ately. The Americans then returnedl to Spasskc, taking the three hostages along with them.
