SULTAN MAKES A
QUICK BACK DOWN
Threatened Trouble Between
Italy and Turkey Ends as
Tempest in TeaCup.
ITALIAN DEMANDS CONCEDED
VIII Be No Demonstration by Italian
Warships in Turkish Waters
for Present.

Rome, April o. - The threatened
trouble between Italy and Turkey ap-
parently has ended as a tempest in a
teacup, and for the present at least
there will be no demonstration by
Italian warships in Turkish waters.
Indeed, it now seems likely that the
incident will produce better feeling
between Constantinople and Rome,
leading to an agreement by the two
countries on many differences which
heretofore have been the cause of not
a little friction.
Meets italian Demands.
The Turkish government has given
its permission to Italy to establish
postoffices in the Turkish cities where
the other powers have like institu-
lions and in like manner has met the
italian demands with regard to other
questions that have been subjects of
dispute.
Especially is this the case with re-
gard to Tripoli, which Italy does not
wish to occupy, but merely wishes to
be open to peaceful settlement by Ital
ians. The fleet will now remain in
italian waters and the incident practi-
cally is regarded here as closed.
