THE AUSTRIAN'S' WEAKNESS. CENTRE IN DANGER. CHANCE FOR ITALIANS, LONDON, June 2. Tlio "Westminster Gazette," discussing tho Italian situation, points out that the Austrian centre at Arsiero and Asiago is imperilled, inasmuch as it is far ahead of the wings and is in difficult country for the transport of heavy guns. The Italians hold the heights in the rear of those towns and an advance by the Italian wings would endanger the whole of tho Austrian army between tho Adige and the Brenta. On the other hand, if the Austrians reach Castagna, eight miles from Asiago, they can cross the Brenta and compel tho Italians to leave Valsugana. BULGARIANS ASSISTING AUSTRIANS. ROME., June 2. Bulgarians who were taken prisoner in the Tyrol admit that Bulgarian units are assisting the Austrians.
