The Commander of United States Naval Forces in the Eastern Mediterranean ( Bullard ) to Admiral W. S. Benson
Fiume
, December
23, 1918.
Adriatic 30. Unpleasant incident occurred at Spalato between Italian destroyer Carabiniere and Slav population. Leading Jugo-Slav citizens and Serbian officers prevented disorder. Have reports which will communicate to Italian Admiral at Sebenico. Entirely local and no further consequences expected but is typical of feeling between two nations.
First meeting Naval Inquiry Committee December 22.
