THE CAUSE OF THE WAR.

The trouble between Turkey and
Italy which eliminated yesterday af-
ternoon in a declaration OF war at
Rome, dates back to 1878, when, with
the making OF the treaty concluding
the Russo-Turkish war, the powers are
understood to have agreed to permit
Italy pacific penetration OF Trip
oil" Turkey claims that this right
has been respected ever since. Italy
has colonized Tripoli until her inter-
ests in that African province are very
great. Sht has asserted, however, that
her subjects have been mistreated by
the Ottoman authority and constantly
Disseminated against.
Frequent disputes have arisen, but
the prolonged negotiations have never
resulted satisfactorily to Italy.
At the time that the Franco German
differences regarding Morocco we're
acute, Italy turned her attention again
to Tripoli, and in subsequent negotia.
tons with Constantinople set forth that
many outrages against her subjects had
been perpetrated, and for which no
redress had been made. She assumed
a decisive attitude, and presently be-
gan the mobilization of her army and
navy.
A few days ago the first squadron Of
the Italian navy was sent to Tripolitan
waters. and it has since patrolled that
coast. At the same time Turkey was
warned not to send soldiers or NUM-
tons of war to Tripoli. A Turkish
transport bearing a few men and arms
and ammunition later arrived at Trip
oil from Constantinople, but was not
molested on the ground that she had
sailed before the Italian warning had
been received.
Italy in the meantime brought her
army to the Italian coast, where they
had been placed on board transports
ready to. proceed to Tripoli or other
points. A second squadron is destined
for Salonica.
The American cruiser Chester ia now
on her way to Tripoli, and should
rea :hed there early in October, posi-
bly, by the 4th. Her mission was
when she left American waters to az
ford protection to PARTY of American

According to leaders Of the striking

disorders than ever before in the his.
tory OF Lynchburg in the same length
of time. There are many respectable
colored persons in the city who are
working to keep the disorders down,
but the bad element has got beyond
their control.
Thomas w. Green, "a years regis

died yesterday in the ninetieth year OF
his age. He was born in Baltimore.
He lived at Harper's Ferry during the
John Brown raid, and went to Lynch

present when the first public telegraph
message was received. He saw Charles

in the world, fired six shells yesterday
at targets in Hampton Roads, and the
conclusion following each discharge

THE CLASH OF WAR.
Italian Cruiser Sinks Turkish De-
stroyer. Tripoii is
Occupied.

The first blow in the war between
Italy and Turkey has been struck, this
being the sinking by an Italian cruiser
OF Turkish destroyer in the barber OF
Prevosa, in Epirus, and the landiEg OF
troops there.
Events in the Turkish-Italian en-
broglio over Tripoli followed thick and
fast yesterday after the expiration OF
the time limit of "a hours set by Italy
in her ultimatum submitted on Thurs
day.
Italy formally declared that the two
countries were in state OF war, be-
ginning at 2:30 o'clock in the after
noon the reply OF the Porte, though
conciliatory, being deemed unsatisfac.
tory. The Turkish government de-
cided not to oppose an armed resistance
to the occupation OF Tripoli and to take
no measures against Italian residents
in Turkey.
The Turkish Cabinet resigned and
Said Pasha, president OF the Senate,
vas appointed grand vizier.
A messenger from the Italian fleet
off Tripol called on the Turkish com
mandant OF the city under flag OF
truce and demanded that he surrender
the place.
Instructions we're sent to the Italian
warships to inaugurate blockade OF
Tripoli and other Turkish ports.
American Consul Wood received
some Arab and Turkish families as
refugees in the consulate at Tripoli,
and may thereby have laid basis for
complications.
Official Washington believes that
there is an agreement among the
power, to give Italy free hand.
The German press fiercely denounces
The action Of the Italian government as
brutal and savoring OF the methods of a
bandit.

WASHINGTON NOT TO INTERFERE

It is said in Washington that the
United States will keep clear OF the
present struggle for domination 10
Africa, if that is possible. Youssout
Zia Pacha, the Turkish Ambassador
to the United States, in an interview
at Bellport, Long Island, yesterday
unofEcially suggested that for Presl-
dent Taft to act as mediator IN the
dispute between Turkey and Italy
would be to fill a magnificent role,
and would prove great practical step
in international peacemakipg." Late
yesterday afternoon the State Depart
ment received an appeal from Oscar
Straus, formerly Amer Ambas'
sador to Turkey, to intervene between
Italy and Turkey. Mr. Stratus ap-
plication was based upon Article Ill
of the Hague convention, OF which
both Italy and Turkey we're signator-
les. Much the darkest clouds last
night seemed to be in the direction
of Greece 1T being believed that the
Ottoman government will demand
that Greece give up her claims on
Crete. 1t is said that Italy's stroke
is the last act Of the programme
agreed upon by the powers OF the
triple entente. 1t was arranged when
Austria took Bosnia and Herzegovina,
and Italy only awaited an opportune
moment to carry it inte execution.
Austria's acquisition OF the two prov
inces, Germany's forward movement
in Morocco, and Italy's compromising
campaign nearby are interpreted as
too logical to be considered mere IN
dependent acts. The effect OF this
war may be far.reaching and the TACT
that it has followed so closely in the
wake OF the arbitration movements
which it was supposed would bring
universal peace is subject OF COM
ment.
