night They made savage onslaught
upon the Italian camp. but were re-

forces occupied the city.
The Turkish losses were heavy and
the Italian dead numbered not less
than 100.
There are good grounds for belev-
ing that the Italian forces at Benghazl
have been severely handled by the
Turks and their Arab auxilaries. 1t
Is understood the Italian losses are
much heavier than officially reported.
Color is given to this belief by the
hurried departure for BenghaZi of four

the Turks and Arabs have displayed
