ITALY VICTORIOUS
OVER THE SULTAN,
FLEET NOT TO SAIL
viii Permit Opening of
PoStofficeS Through

Naval Demonstrations
Yet May Force Other
Concessions.

ROME, April 20.-The Turkish ambas-
sador today notified the Italian foreign
office that the Sultan has yielded 10
King Victor's demand for authority TO
open Italian postofhces in Turkey. a
privilege enjoyed by all other foreign
powers
On the strength OF the Sultan's sur
render. orders for the italian squadron's $
departure for a demonstration in Turk
lsh waters were cOuntermanded for the
present Formal orders for the fleet to
sail were being prepared when the Turk
lsh message was communicated To the
! foreign office The demonstration is still
a possibility for the near future. as the
postofhce question is but one Of a num-
Der concerning which differences exist
between the two governments.
At the time that the Turkish anbas-
sador called at the foreign office. with
bunkers filled. 1000 men aboard, and its
nineteen warships and destroyers all in
lighting trim, Admiral Grenets SQUAD
ron lay OF Gaeta ready TO sail at
moments notice for the coast of Asia
Minor, TO show the Sultan what Italy
was prepared 10 do unless he should
come 10 speedy terms concerning the
various misunderstanding pending be-
tween his government and King Victor's.
The demonstration had been ordered
for Thursday. The squadron's objective
point was only 200 miles away, so there
would have been ample time to reach
ii without undue haste.
To emphasize the ultimatum. Admiral
Grenet had been instructed TO seize a
Turkish island. and. in case the Sultan
resented this, the commander was under
orders to show the Sultan that he could
not be trihed with. That there might be
no question concerning his ability to i'm
press the Turks. a reserve fleet was he
ing prepared TO join him on short notice.
ltaly's complaint against Turkey was
that the latter had refused 70 permit
the establishment OF Italian postofices
in Turkish territory, though allowing
the privilege to all other powers.
Italy's present grievances against the
Sultan are:
Neglected TO prosecute the murderers
of an Italian missionary slain recently
IN Turkey.
Harassed Turks who nave sold land
to Italians.
Treated Italy with contempt gener-
ally, evidently depending on the other
powers for support.
The Kaiser's recent trip through
Italy, his conversations with King Vic
tor. the fact that he is still at Corfu
near the scene of the threatened trou-
BILE, and German Chancellor Prince Won
BuelOw's arrival In ViCtor's territory hut

Senator Borah OF Idaho. one OF the
younger members of the Senate who

but who has achieved a reputation in his
own part Of the country as a train
lawyer and a speaker of force and
ability, came to the defense Of the Pres

case today.

Senator Borah laid emphasis on the
fact that in these times-"when an eIe-

a spirit Of lawIessness in the army. He
was plainly alluding to the alleged prac-

10 the Steunenberg murder by saying:

In the course Of his remarks, Senator
