How was the Ethiopian victory over the Italians in the battle of Adowa perceived in the non Italian West?

Hello,

my understanding is that the French and Russians were quite sympathethic with the Ethiopian cause, while the Italians would obviously be pretty dismayed about it. How did other western states like the UK, Prussia, Austro-Hungaria or the USA perceive the defeat of Italy by an African nation?
