Turkish Attack on Land
Is RepuIsed by Italians

LONDON, October 1.-THE London
Daily Telegraph's war correspondent
sends this dispatch to his paper from
Tripo, describing the Turkish attack on
the forts at 2 o'clock Tuesday morning:
The Italians have won their first land
battle in fine shape. The friendly Arabs
gave the Italians warning Of the probable
attack by the Turks. They said that the
Turks would, no doubt, attempt to enter
Tripoli at night.
Ample precautions were taken to REIN
force the posts, particularly the new
works to the south.
The warships were about four miles OFF,
shore. The Turks were discovered about
l o'clock in the morning advancing in two
columns, supported by field guns. For
tunately, it was bright, moonlight
night, and the Italians ashore were jul
diciously assisted by searchlights.
All night the Turks approached Tripoli
in good order. There were thousands.
supported by native auxiliaries. When
they were within few hundred yards
the marines from the works and trenches
poured into their ranks tremendous
rife fire. supported by machine guns and
field artillery.
The intended Turkish surprise entirely
failed, but the Ottomans stood to the at
tack courageously, replying to the In
trenched Italians with heavy fire and
striving to press home the action, first
on the west. The Italian marines, how
ever, were not shaken
They were undaunted and fought most
brilliantly, firing with steady and deadly
accuracy They beat back every attempt
of the enemy. From 80 to am the
rifle fire was fierce. After that it dwindled
and ceased. The enemy retreated with
severe losses.
Behavior of Marines Admirable.
On the eastern side the attacking col
umn of Turks tried to turn that flank of
the Italian defense. They advanced into
the palm belt and threw shrapnel, which
fell near the sea. The Italians held fast
and drove away every advance on the
front flank.
The behavior of the sturdy marines was
admirable. 1t could not have been better
among any troops.
The fleet, cleverly arranged. contrib
uted TO the success of the battle. When
the rifle fire ecame heavy several yes
sells including the cruisers and battle
ships, opened with their minor batteries,
directing their shells over the town, SO
that they might fall among the Turks
and cover the Italian front TANKS against
rushes enmasse The firing of the fleet
was deliberate and well placed, and was
directed by signals and wireless After
the rifle fire had ceased the ships contin-
ued to pursue the retreating foe with
shells from their heavier batteries, in
GLIDING the six-inch and twelve-inch guns.
The firing continued until am. The
Italian casualties were slight.
People in Tripoli remained indoors and
were confident of Italian victory.

POOR GREATLY EXCITED
Italian Commander Consults With
Turks Regarding Distribution.
FORCE TO COMMAND CITY
Conquering Nation Will Be Re-
quired to Garrison 10000 Troops
There After War Is Ended.

| ROME (via frontier), October II. - A
message from Tripoli today says there
was great excitement among the poorer
| classes of the natives when steamers
| loaded with provisions arrived. 1t was
planned to distribute these among the
hungry in Tripoli, and Capt. Cagni of the
| Italian landing force consulted with
some of the Turks, devising plan to
make sure that the supplies should go to
those in the greatest need.
The approaching landing of the troops
is impatiently awaited. The sailors on
shore are beginning to experience ex-
haustion from being on duty practically
night and day.
One thousand sailors in the six days
, since they landed have constructed
temporary Notifications to protect the
important points of the town, while
along the harbor they have built
temporary landing stages to facilitate
their horses. artillery and ammuni-
ton.
To Revive TripoI Commerce.
The ministry of public works here
is already preparing a plan to revive
the commerce and industry of Tripoli.
A special commission will be sent
there to decide which railway lines
shall be built first. Within q. month 1t
is hoped to establish a direct cable
between Tripoli and Syracuse.
At the same time the war Office Is
studying the organization of the perma-
nent body of colonial troops which Italy
will require when the war is ended. 1t
is figured that 10000 men will be needed
to garrison Tripoli and 1000 more to
protect Eritrea, the colony on the Red
sea, and Somaliland, the Italian protect
crate on the Indian ocean. For several
years the garrisons in Tripon will be
composed wholly Of Italians, because Of
the fear that there might be disafection
among natives so employed.
Native Mayor of City.
Hassund Karamanh is now mayor of
Tripoli by decree of King Victor EN-
manuel. He sent a message of loyalty
and devotion to the Italian sovereigns,
and the communication was also signed
by other notables of Tripoli. 1t expressed
their satisfaction at the Italian occupa-
ton of Tripoli, which they said repre-
scented the resurrection Of their beloved
country, which aspired to be once more
