SEETHING REVOLT IN ABYSSINIA.
FRONTIER REPORT. Rebellion Causing Italy Much Anxiety. Cnl f od Press Association.—Copyright. (Reed. 2.30 p.ra.) LONDON, Jan. 15. Almost the whole of Abyssinia is seething with revolt, according to the "Daily Telegraph , ' special correspondent on the Abyssinian frontier.
The spread of the rebellion is causing the Italians such anxiety that the Duke of Aoeta visited the Fascist troops at Goja in order to ascertain the worst about the situation and to seek to stiffen the garrison's morale, which has lieen weakened by ambushes, constant guerilla warfare and surprise attacks against food convoys. General Xasi, who commanded the Italians occupying British Somaliland, is lending strong forces from Addis Ababa to Goja to attempt to quell the revolt. There have been costly ambushes for Italy on the great main road from Gondar eastward to Lake Tsana. Italians farther south have- been forced to evacuate Si Daino. also a post near Maji. Mere trouble is beginning to boil up in Shoa country.
