Five Italian battleships. one cruiser

The greatest excitement prevails
everywhere. Banks and business
houses are closed. Trade is complete
~ paralyzed. The Europeans who re-

In the streets. Nearly all the Italians
have sent their families away, tho
consul giving them free passage. The
steamship Adria, with steam up, is
kept here at the disposition Of the

(, The Turkish authorities are doing
their Utmost to maintain order, but
there is an undercurrent of grave
alarm. Turkish pickets are patrolling
the town day and night The most

are still here. The departure of many
Europeans has intensified the feeling
of the Arabs against Italians.

could be called and continued for q
later trial without HUBBARD being pres

the defense would have the right to
secure a continuance of the case UNI
less HUBBARD was there.
Feeling Is Bitter.
A weil-known resident of the city
VINO returned late last night from
foseland, where he was present yes
terday at the burial of DR.. Petit. stated
to-day that the feeling is an intense
one against HUBBARD, despite the fact
that the people OF the county appear
generally to believe tho man is insane.
This man, who is one of the most con-
servauve professional men of the city,
said he found the feeling very bitter
against Hubbard. who, he thought,
would not stand the slightest show Of
getting out of the county alive il he
was taken back there in October with
out sufficient military force.
1t is evident from this feeling that
while the people of Nelson regard HUI
bard as eccentric or insane, at the Same
time they hold him responsible for the
murder of DIR. Petit, and many of
them would not hesitate to make his
life pay the penalty, without whiting
for due course of law.
The attendance at the funeral yes
terday is said to have been the larg-
est outpouring of people ever seen in
fact indicating something OF the high
esteem in which the people OF the
county held the murdered man.
There was, of course, no show of
excitement at the funeral. but there
was a suppressed under feeling that
indicated TO people from tho city that

tunity to avenge their friends death,
