ESCAPED FROM SIBERIA
Way from the Cars Prison
Land to Australia

Berlin, April 20.-Marie Spiridono-
va, whose sufferings as a prisoner and
exile have made her famous. has sue
ceeded in escaping from captivity in
Siberia, according to news received
by her friends here. The last re-
ports stated that the girl was dying
of consumption. induced by her ter
rible experiences during the last three
years, but apparently she is still equal
to the exertions of an escape from
Russian jailers.
The girl martyr is said to be now
on her way to Australia. Her escape
must be attributed to the powerful
secret workings Of the revolution
aries, who have been making siren
uous efforts on her behalf ever since
she was first arrested in 1905. II
would be necessary to prepare the
way for her very carefully, because of
her broken health.

TROUBLE FOR THE TURKS
A Formidable italian Squadron is En-
Route to Impress the Sultan with
the Error Of His Ways

Rome, April 2O.-An Italian squad
ron. under command of Admiral r.
Grenet, set out this morning for the
purpose of making a demonstration
in Turkish waters.
The squadron comprises eleven
warshipS and includes the battleShip
Regina Elena, commanded by the
Duke of AbruzZi. Altogether the YES
sells will carry 5,095 men and their
objective point will be Asia Minor,
about 700 miles away 1t has been
decided, If it is deemed necessary. also
to occupy small island off that coast
but is is hoped here that Turkey may
see the error of her ways and give
full satisfaction, SO that more ener-
getic measures may be avoided.
The Cause of Dispute
The difficulty between the two ma
tons arises out of the refusal of the
Turkish government to permit the in
stallation of Italian postoffices in
Turkish territory, while at the same
time other foreign nations have es-
tablished and are conducting pOstOf-
fees there without interference.
Considerable irritation has been felt
here also over the murder of an Ital-
ian missionary in Tripoli. and the per-
secutiOns by the Ottoman authorities
of natives who have sold to the Ital-
ians, but the present action of the
Italian government is based primarily
on the postoffice question. With re-
gard to this, however, the Turkish
ambassador in Rome has pointed out
i'm an interview that his government
has in no instance granted to the
countries in question such privileges,
although it; has tolerated the postOf-
fees which have been maintained.
High Handed Manner
For years it has been felt in govern
ment circles in Rome that Turkey
has been taking advantage Of the in
ternational situation to act in a high
landed manner toward Italian
rights. This government, it is stated,
has been indulgent not wishing to
cause complications which might en-
danger the accord of the powers with
regard to the Ottoman or Balkan
problem.
Apparently Turkey came to the con-
clusion that the Italian government
would never resort to extreme meas
ures. in view of the fact that the Mace
DOMAIN problem is pending, for the
settlement of which the accord of the
powers is Indispensable and she went
so far as to order detachments of her
troops to guard the Italian postoffices
and thus prevent the work from being
carried on.
To this provocation the Italian ad-
ministration felt that it could only
place cOercive measures, in order to
protect the dignity of Italy and safe
guard her rights.
Great satisfaction is felt here, and
it is stated that all the powers have
approved Italy's decision to take re-
course to force, if necessary, to pro-
tect her interests, which is an indi-
cation that they believe that Italy
has no intention of permanent terri
tOrial occupation.

There appears, to be no change in

may be some lawlesSness after the
troops have been removed. Quite a

outlying lines, but in the main pOr-
