! London, Oct. t.-Out of Il maze Of
conflicting reports and rumors. II Is
impossible to sift the grains of truth
concerning the opening days OF the
| Turkish italian war. II appears
doubtful whether there has been an
actual occupation Of Tripoli and it is
practically certain that there has
been no hombardment by the Italian
warships.
1t seems certain that the reported
destruction of the Turkish fleet is
untrue. The fact is the only result
of the first three days hostilities
which can be vouched for is the de-
struction of the Turkish destroyers
by the Duke Of the Abruzzi's ships of
| Prevesa. The Tripoli cable is sealed
so that 1t is impossible for the out
side world to know what IS going on
there.
! The Ottoman government clearly is
not in hurry and the most sgnifi-
cant news OF the day Is the decision
II the Turkish council again to appeal
| 10 the powers and in the meantime
ta suspend offensive measures. Latte
| tonight this new appeal had not
reached the British government and
there is nothing to indicate that the
attitude Of the powers has undergone
any change.
According to the Daily Telegraph's
Rome correspondent, however. Ger
many and Austria already have made
unofficial representations to Italy of
their disnleasure at her procedure
and have intimated that if these rep
reservations are ignored they will be
followed by the humiliation OF Italy.
According TO information from dip
lomatic sources, the landing of the
Italians in Prevesa is resented by
Austria and Germany and had much
to do with their reported change of
attitude towards Italy.
Said Pasha, the new grand vizier.
continues his efforts to form a coali-
ton ministry, but finds the task ex-
tremely difficult
The Daily Chronicles Constant
nople correspondent says:
News of both disaster and victory
reached the capital today The fight
ing spirit of the Turks is rising to q
fanatical height, A wireless message
to the admiralty says that two Italian
cruisers have been sunk Off an un-
named point in the Archipelago.
Rigorous precautions are being la-
ken to thwart the movements Of the |
Italian fleet in the Archipelago.
An excited crowd at Stamboul to-
day attacked the Italian postolfiCe. |
An Italian steamer with valuable
cargo was captured near the entrance
to the Posphorous.
IT is rumored that Prevesae in Eu-
fopean Turkey has been taken by The
Italians and several Turkish ships
without coal have been seized.
Much is hoped for from interven-
ton by the powers but ii Is said that
the sultan's personal appeal to kius
George has elected a reply to the ci
iect that 1t Is too late for the pow
ers to take such political action as
Turkey desires.
Volunteers are enrolling In great
numbers. All around the frontiers is
unrest and hasty preparation. Tur-
keys chronic trouble, the lack OF
ready men has become acute She Is
facing the war with ridicuousy small
sum in the treasury. The Ottoman
debt institution has been asked To
provide $50, eco. GOO, but 1t rs inform
ed the government that there is no
more money available. Therefore
the nation goes to war with apout 81,
100000
"A rumor says tonight that only on
cruiser of all Turkeys navy is left
afloat. News comes from Trpoll that
the llinterland is inhabited by fierce
tribesmen and that the Bedouins OF
te Tibesti districts and other tribes
men are already on the march toward
the coast determined to defend Tripo-
