Rome. via frontier. Oct. s.--Ths
Italian authorities at Tripoli today ls-
sued proclamation suppressing slav-
cry. Tripoli was the only remaining
port on the coast os Africa where
slavery still prevailed notwithstand-
France to prevent the traffic.
General Spingardi. minister OF war.
went to Naples to supervise the or
ganlzation of the troops for the ex-
petition.
Advices from Tripoli say groups Of
Turkish soldiers are coming In to sur.
render. The Arabs, armed at the last
moment by the garrison with Mauser
rifles. landed by the steamer Derna.
are gradually returning to Tripoli and
offering their submission.
Their only condition Is that tho
Italian commander purchase their
rifles for few francs, which seems
to show that not only are the Arabs
those at least In the vicinity OF
Trlpoli-not ready to fight for Tur-
key, but also that starvation prevails
among the natives. More than 10000
of these. 1t is reported. will soon be
forced by hunger to return to tho
town.
Believed to Be Short Of Supplies.
II Is not known how the Turkish
soldiers comprising the garrison are
off for supplies. but 1t Is believed they
are nearly to the minimum. It Is
possible. however. that they may go
into the interior for the purpose OF
arousing the Senoussi tribes and have
them proclaim holy war against tho
invaders.
The attitude OF the Turkish govern
ment regarding the Italians in the OF
toman empire Is viewed with some
concern. and the order OF expulsion
and the abolition of the capitulation
II carried into effect, may be the cause
Of serious complications. 1t is ex-
pected that Germany, which now has
the Italians In Turkey under Its pro-
lection. would raise an objection to
such action.
Various reports are being received
Of antl-Italian riots, particularly In
Salonika, where the Italian consul Is
said to have been threatened with q
revolver In his own house.
Vice Admiral the Duke OF Abruzzt
left Taranto today aboard the armored
cruiser Vettor Pisani after having
been In communication with the king
and the minister Of marine. The
cruisers Guiseppl Garibaldi, Francisco
Ferrerio and Varese. which particle
pated in the bombardment Of Tripoli.
were greeted enthusiastically by the
people of southern Sicily on their ar
rival yesterday at Agosta. After coal
ing, the squadron left this morning
Under sealed orders.
Washington. Oct. S.--Adyices to tho
state department today from the en-
bassy at Rome express the belief that
II the Ottoman government accepts
the occupation of Tripoli and restores
the status previously existing in Tur-
key. the Italian government will be de-
sirous of bringing about peace at the
earliest possible moment.
The efforts of Germany to effect q
settlement continue unabated. accord-
Ing to the dispatch, The news Of tho
occupation of Tripoli was confirmed
and also that marines had been landed
Without serious opposition. The Turk
ish troops withdrew into the hinter-
land.
The texts of the notes issued by tho
Turkish and Italian governments de-
| clarng that merchant vessels of the
two hostile nations shall be seized
and eonfiscated. were received. Tur-
key took the initiative in this direc-
tion The Turkish note, sent by Am
bassador Rockhill at constantinople.
