LONDON, January 11
The correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph" at Rome reports that an official decree provides for the supplying of Abyssinia with £15,000,000 worth, of silver coinage and £2,000,000 worth of bronze coinage. It is believed that the coinage will raise Italy's prestige in Africa, obviating the Abyssinians' mistrust of the paper currency.
