are arriving hourly to the Sultan ex-
pressing the readiness of the senders to
lose every drop of their life's blood for
their country and Islam.
In Saloniki, bloody encounters have
occurred in many places between the
authorities and Italians desirous of Ieav-
ing for their own country. In several
other centers fighting has occurred, and
italian boycotts have already been in
augurated in many cities.
Those revolutionary heroes, Naizi Bey
and Enver Bey. are ready to march with
great bands of volunteers for Tripoli.
Great Indignation is felt against the
grand vizier and his cabinet, who are
accused of having slumbered while Italy
was quietly and effectively preparing
herself. Some papers go so far as to
state that the former grand vizier,
Haiku Pasha. will be summoned before
a cOurt-martial.
Remarkable demonstra tions of feeling
against Germany are being shown here,
as a result of German flags being hoisted
on an italian dispatch vessel here and on
an Italian house. Germany is accused of
hypocrisy, and 1t is said that the last
meeting between her ambassador and the
Turkish war minister was most stormy.
TripoH Is Invested.
London, Oct. IA dispatch received
here at an early hour this morning from
Paris says that the Italian bombardment
Of Tripoli was continued for more than
an hour. at the end OF which time tie
Turks withdrew from the forts and de-
parted for the interior. The Italian forces
then landed and took possession of the
city.
No confirmation of this dispatch can
be had from Tripoli, as communication
is interrupted. This is thought to be the
result of the italian forces taking pos
session of the telegraph Office upon their
occupation OF the city.
