plications avoided. wish to warn public
opinion abroad that while the Italian fleet
has taken possession OF Tripol and
Cyrenaca the occupation cannot be con-
sidered as an accomplished fact in the
sense that it renders possible that inter-
vention by the powers which Italy in
due time will welcome, but at the present
morhent would be inopportune.
Before anything Of the kind occurs the
Italian troops must land and occupy not
only the coast, but also the interior Of
the province. in order to make sure that
any remaining resistance of Turkey shall
be overcome.
This much has already been agreed on
between Italy and the powers and the
sentiment set forth in the foregoing state
ments are not intended for other govern
ments with which Italy is IN perfect ac-
cord. but simply to quiet public opinion
and dampen the ardor of certain sections

Italians Occupy DernA.
It was learned today that the Italians
have occupied Derns and the coast of
Bambah guilt. Thus is revealed the plan
of the Italian campaign in northern
Africa. The object was to ensure, above
all else. the occupation of Cyrenaica,
which is the richest part of the invaded
country. Accordingly a great naval dis
play was made before Tripoli to deceive
the Turks while Rear Admiral Aubrey,
commander-in-chiefo of the fleet, feigning
