Rome. Sept. l2-Premier Giolitti had a
long conference to-day with the Minister of
War. General Spingard, and the Minister
Of Marine, Admiral Leonardo Cattolisa, re-
garding the Tripoli question.
The Prime Minister, it is understood, said
that IL the Turkish government was not
ready 10 recognize the sphere of influence
of italy in Tripoli under some form of a
protectorate, the only recourse must be the
military occupation Of the Turkish prov
ince.
Both the Minister of War and the Minis
tor OF Marine declared that everything was
ready should an expedition of troops,
backed by the Italian navy, be decided
upon. Indeed, the engineer corps has al
ready made preparations 20 insure the oc-
cupaton OF the region should its services
ne required IL the government deems ii
necessary to use troops for this purpose
this corps will be dispatched from Naples
and laramie.
The Italian press urges the government
not 10 allow the present occasion to settle
the Tripoli question pass by. pointing out
that. after a settlement has been reached
in the Mediterranean between France and
Germany as to Morocco. no such favorable
opportunity as the present will recur. The
Italian people as a whole, however, do not
display much enthusiasm over the lros-
poets of Italy obtaining concessions in
Tripoli. recalling former Italian colonial
disasters

battle is expected tomorrow.
Field Marshal Baron Won der Goltz, com
mander of the defending force justified his
reputation by executing a double thanking
movement with an army of inferior
strength. The spectacle of the day was a
grand charge OF an entire division of the
guard cavalry against the hill, for the
command of which the two armies hau
been struggling for hours
The charge came unexpectedly late IN the
afternoon. Prince Friedrich had Withdrawn
his troops from the centre TO save the
threatened left wing. thus leaving gap
between two divisions Of his army. The
enemy perceived the opportunity, and thou

cessful This settled the fate Of the lett
wing of the invaders. which already hao
been outhanked. In the mean time the other
wing had involved itself i'm a dangerous po-
sition and was also compelled to retire.
The theoretical losses on both sides were
very heavy particularly on the part OF the
invaders who were debited with the loss OF
two complete batteries and regiment oil
infantry.
