await arrival of the main fleet of warships and transports due from southern Italy and Sicily early next week. The force then under General Caneva, who will have the general command, will amount to about 40 900 men, Or some 10000 more than the en- tire Turkish military force in Tri- poli.
 It is known, however, that the Ital- ian blockading squad off Tripoli has seized the Turkish transport Derna which arrived Thursday with the new Turkish governor of the province, troops and munitions of war. The Turks made no resistance, which would, with their single transport against the Italian warships, have been useless
 1t is also confirmed that the Turk ish feet last reported off Chiose, in the Aegean Sea, has sunk two barges Of Italian soldiers, who are presumed to have been trying to land on Turk 1sh territory. The Italians fate is unknown. How many were drowned as a result of the bleaching off Pre- veSa of two transports which Italian gunboats were pursuing is also uncer- tain, but it is reported that several hundred lost their lives. The Turkish commander is said to have run the boats recklessly upon. the rocks to es- cape capture, the soldiers aboard them facing death with the utmost courage and uncOncern

TWO BARGES OF ITALIAN
 TROOPS REPORTED SUNK.

London, Sept. 30-The Turkish mili- tia railway attache in Paris has as- stunned command of the Turkish forces at Tripoli, according to telegrams re- ceived here today. He has notified the Constantinople government, say the messages that Italians began dis embarking there yesterday afternoon, but were checked by the sinking of two barge loads of troops. It is stated that they were sunk by the Turkish fleet but this is believed here to be erroneous.
 Considerable uneasiness is felt here for the safety of foreigners in Turkey. The higher class Turks, of course, know the conference between Italians and other Orientals, but then, the masses, all nationalities of Franks are alike, and in the event of an anti Italian outbreak, of which there are symptoms, especially in Constantino- pie, foreigners from all countries would be imperilled. War Minister Chefket PaSha's declaration of martial law will probably have a good effect, how ever, as rendering it easier for him to control the situation.
 Italians in Turkey will be under the protection of Germany, while the war lasts, and Turkey has asked the Unit ed States-the power with which it is more friendly than any other in the world-to look after its interests else where.

POWERS ANXIOUS TO
 NARROW WAR ZONE.

Vienna, Sept. 30-With the news that actual fighting between Italy and Tur- key has started. European diplomacy is straining every nerve towards mar rowing the field of war as far as pos sible It is recognized that the Tur- ko-Italian struggle may speedily in volve practically every one of the greater old world powers unless the most strenuous efforts are made to prevent it and from so tremendous an outbreak, even the most hardened of international politicians shrink in horror. The wires are being kept hot between Vienna, Berlin, London, Paris and St. Petersburg with a view to concerted action, but for the next few days it will be impossible to judge of the success of these exertions in the interests of European peace.
 The censorship on all news mes sages. from both Italian and Turkish sources, renders late developments very meagre. Confirmation of an Italian landing on the Tripolitan coast is lacking and it is doubted here if one has yet been effected, the most reliable news at hand here indicating that the squadron already there will

 Zenhzi and Urban were constructing dream palace built out of material 'borrowed' from fellow contractors about town. Everything in the house from the pillars and window sasnes to the plaster on the walls has claim ant outside of the Zenhzi and Urban firm.
 Zen1zi thought best to let slip his bonds of $100 but Urban tried to con- vince the court that the house was all his. The court thought otherwise and gave him 30 days to think it over.

DUKE OF THE ABRUZZI
 REPORTS ON BLOCKADE

Rome, Sept 30-The Duke of the Abruzzi reported to the government today that he established a blockade of the Turkish port of Prevesa, yes terday Two torpedo boats at tempted to escape he telegraphed. ssWe engaged one, which stranded af- ter catching fire. We pursued the other, which returned to Prevesa.''
 The war craft referred to by the Duke of the Abruzzi appear to have been escorts of the two transports beached in the same vicinity, yester- day.
 Official advices here say the trans ports tried to escape by running close to shore. The Italian ships signaled them to heave-to, and, being disre- garded, opened fire, doing terrific exc cution among the Turks on the crowd ed decks. The transports would have been captured but for their com manders' action in running them up- on, the rocks.
 The Italian squadron off the Turk ish coast is aiming at bottling up Ad- miral Bucknam's Turkish fleet in the Sea of Marmora. An engagement be- tween the two fleets will occur at any moment

TURKO-GREEK SCRAP
 TO BRIGHTEN POWERS

Belgrade. Servia, Sept 3O.-Fight- ing is in progress, today, on the Tur- klSh-Greek frontier. It is believed to be mere skirmishing so far, preliunt- nary to a general Turko-Greek cam paig.n -
 It was the Turks who took the aggressive against Greece and the impression is that the latter would probably attempt to annex Crete un- der cover of the Turko-Italian war. Turkish troops began the occupation of the Greek province of ThessaIy, yesterday. Greece responded by dis patching a force of it's own to resis, them and hostilities followed
 Besides their objection to the loss of Crete, the Turks were actuated in assuming the aggressive against Greece by the higher diplomatic mo- tive of frightening Europe by a threat of a widespread Balkan out- break, into interfering with the Itai- ian grab of Tripoli.
 The danger of such an outbreak is, i nfact, great. Not only are Turkey and Greece already embroi1ed, buu Bulgaria is expected to seize Mace doniai from the Turks the moment 1t is convinced that the latter are too busy with other troubles to resist, the Macedonians themselves showing signs of rest1essness at Turkish rule. Montenegro has long been looking for an opportunity to add northern Ai- bania to it's territories and the South ern Albanians are reported on the eve of another uprising.
 General commotion of this kind will inevitably ensue if Turko-Italian hos tilities go much further. The com motion will mean a shifting of south eastern European frontiers every where It is in the epidemic of grab ping on the part of the greater pow CTS which will surely follow that there lies the danger of a general European crisis.
 Turkey knows that the powers are afraid of so great struggle and will use this fear as a weapon to club the powers into coming, to it's assistance against Italy.
