NO INTERVENTION.
Italian Officials Don't Want Any Out
side Advice at Present.


Rome. Oct S.-}ia Frontier).-Of-
fetal circles, while realizing the anx-
iety of foreign countries to see the
Turco-ItaHau conflict ended ana the
possibilities of complications avoided,
wish to warn public opinion abroad
that while the Italian fleet has taken
possession OF Tripoh and Cyrenaica,
the OCCUPATION cannot be considered
an accomplished fact in the sense that
it renders possible that intervention
BY the powers which italy. in due
time. will welcome, but which at the
present moment would be inoppor-
tune.
Before anything OF tie kind occurs.
the Italian troops must land and in
reality occupy not only the coast but
also the interior of the province. in
order to make SIRE that any remain
ing resistance of Turkey shall be over

upon between Italy ard the Powers.

Italy is in perfect accord, but simply

Turkey. on the contrary, has haisted

purposes. 1t is about TO do the same

Italy will protest on the ground that
this action is in violence of the con-
