TnInpH, Oct. 10.-The Turks ap-
narcrfly do not intend to abandon
TripoIi TO the Italians without fur
ether determined resistance. For sew
eraI days bands OF horsemen have
been reconnoitering in the vicinity OF
the italian posts. Several times at
night they have been discovered oy
the searchlights of the warships, ana
then shells drove them back again
into the hills.
About one O'Clock this morning a
force of about 5000 Turkish troops.
: with field guns, was discovered ad-
vancing in two columns, with the EVIL
dent intention of re-capturing the
tcwn. A large body OF natives
marched with the troops, and pre-
sented a formidable array. The ltal-
ion commander, however, had an in
timation that such an attempt would
probably be made, and his men were
amply prepared.
The Italians guns were we'll piac-
ed. and the Turks met with heavy
artillery and rife fire to which they
replied with equal energy. 1t wa:
moonlight, and the feet turned the
searchlights on the contending forces
when the engagement was at 1T
height the battleships and cruiser
joined in with their smaller bate
directing the shells to cover the 1tai
tan front. The Turks retired, but i
nod order, although it is reporte
1T they suffered heavy losses.
Another body of Turks tried t
the Italians eastward flank bu
.hout success. The italian casua
rs were slight.
THE fleet pursued the retreatin
Tnrks with a heavy she'll fire unit
