4h. oovarnment to assist us and to cone 10 our help as the Italian steamers re- fuse to receive any but persons or theif own nationality"
 Chiasco. Switzerland. September 2'- The Milan newspapers failed to publish lacking news because of the censorship, and this led to alarming reports. Ex' tremists went so far as to glorify Resi- cides and said the expedition to Tripoii was prepared entirely in the interest or the dynasty and against the welfare or the proletariat.
 In a meeting at Rome Mary Rygier, the socialist, ended a storm of invectlves nv crying Long live Brescil' (murder- of King HunberD and adding that the movement regarding Tripoli had been nlanned by King Victor Emmanuel to assist his father-in-law. King Nicholas of Montenegro, who wishes the defeat ana humiliation of Turkey in order that he may enlarge his own tiny Kingdom.
 London, September 27.-A news dls- match from Paris today says that Italy has sent an ultimatum to Turkey say ing that the latter must agree 10 an Italian occupation of Tripoli and that unless a reply is received by tomor- row Italy will immediately proceed with the threatened occupation The correspondent of the Chronicle sends a dispatch from Tripoli, say
 ing:
 "All business here stopped and great excitement prevails. The Dorna' q Turkish steamer entered the harbor within view of the whole fleet, which apparently had been watching her TOT many miles. She landed 100 soldiers, several boxes of ammunition and rifles It is expected that the fleet will now take steps to occupy the place. The fleet at any moment could have stopped the Derna, but did not, refrained. understand. under orders from Italian government.
 The news spread rapidly. Turkish soldiers swarmed around the harbor' yelling threats against Italy and the Italians The latter are momentarily in fear of attack. The Italian consul Is withholding all newspapers from italy to avoid increasing anxiety.
 Turkish families were preparing to flee but the committee of the Union of Progress issued an order that Turkish subjects must, on no account, leave the town. They would be forcibly re- strained if necessary Turks are at tempting to induce the Arabs to con- tribute to the defence of the town with men and goods, but have not met with much success"
 The Constantinople correspondent of Reuters Telegram sends dispatch dated Tripoli which gives the report of an impending Italian landing.
 It is confirmed Germany Is using her good offices for a settlement. The Brit ish foreign office at a late hour was without news of fresh developments in the crisis.
 The censorship maintained in Italy is so rigorous that it is difficult to learn the exact situation. Italy has presented an actual ultima tum setting a time limit, al- though undoubtedly she was warned Fur key against dispatching troops and war material to Tripoli.
 In well informed diplomatic quarters II is believed no small concessions will mee, the Italian view and that an expedition to 'rripoli is a practical certainty. Little Is
 hoped for from Germany or other powers | in their attempts at mediation if as it is | believed Italy insists upon her demands | for a protectorate.
 An interesting question arises as to whether Turkey being debarred by weak ness of her navy from sending transports 1 10 provision and reinforce her troops ir 1 Tripoli by sea, will claim the right tt | send conveys through Egypt Such g demand would place Great Britain in 8 | serious dilemma.
 To accede would mean incurrng Italy fenmity To refuse would imperi ths | British position in Egypt and in the mos1 of the world generally.
