ruRko-lrALlAN WAR.

Another army expedition to Trip0li
sailed secretly from Naples, escorted
by u naval division which will be
strengthened with other ships after
the convoy has passed through the
Straits of Messina. The transports
and warsips carried no lights and
nothing leaked out as to whether the
troops would be landed at Tripoli,
Benghazi, Derna or Tobruk.
In letters received at Malta from
Benghazi. 1'ripoli, the writer's estimate
the casualties among the inhabitants,
resulting from the b%ombardment by
the Italian fleet, at 1000 The British
consulate was a badly damaged and
Consul Jones was wounded. Numer-
ous buildings, including a Maltese
church, were destroyed.
From uncensored dispatches from
Tripoli reaching England by way of
Malta, which In part are confirmed by
censored dispatches reaching Rome, 1t
is apparent that Italy's campaign in
Tripoli already has cost more lives
than the government anticipated, while
the financial outlay greatly will ex.
coed the estimates.
Advices from Constantinople state
that reports from recent battles with
losses for Italy at Tripoli have ended
at present any chance for mediation.
The Turkish government, adopting the
standpoint Of the people. has swung
over to the idea of continuing the war.
Germany accordingly sees no opening
for Intervention.
All reports concerning the possibility
of an armistice between Italy and Tur-
key are discredited in official circles
at Rome, which affirm, on the con-
trary, that Italy is determined not to
cease her military operations until
Tripoli is wholly conquered.
According to news from Tripoli pub
lished at Constantinople the Turks
have captured the last of the Italian
outer entertainments and occupied the
suburb Zaher and all approaches to
1'ripoli from the northwest.
Turkish forces attacked the town
of HONS, not far from Tripoli, but
were repulsed with heavy losses.

The second officer of the gunboat
was killed but the others on board es-
capped. Subsequently the cruiser
shelled the billy portion of the town.
The extent of the damage is not
stated.
The town meant in the foregoing
dispatch evidently is Akabah, a forti.
fed village on the east side of the
Gulf of Akabah, near the northern ex-
tremity. The significance of the dis
patch is that it indicates that the Ital-
ians, meeting with unexpected opposi-
ton in Tripoli, have carried out their
threat to attack the enemy's actual
country from the Red sea.

STORIES Of ITALIAN CRUELTY
Correspondent Reit,
Charges Of Others.

Charges Of Others.
Berlin, Nov. 8.-Herr Gottberg, the
Lokal Anzeiger's correspondent with
the Italian army in Tripoli, who with
Francis McCullagh, representing the
New York World and other correspond
ents. returned his papers to the Ital-
ian commander and left Tripoli rath-
er than remain as a helpless witness
Of the brutalities he says the Italians
are perpetrating there, telegraphs to
his newspaper from Malta consider
ably simplifying the horrible story told
by McCullagh of the slaughter alleged
to be in progress in the beleaguered
city.
Following the Italian order to clear
the oasis Of its native population,
Gottberg says, as did McCullagh, that
the soldiers remorselessly chased
men, women and children, the sick,
crippled and blind. into the open and
sshot them like rabbits.
No officer higher than a lieutenant.
i5he correspondent asserts, was pres
sent during the butchery, General Ca
neva himself never even being seen
where shooting was in progress. There
vas not q semblance of a courtmartial,
0ottberg adds, nor did the private sol
diers await orders from their officers
before shooting down the wretched
Arabs.
General Caneva, Gottberg remarks,
seeks to excuse the butchery on the
ground that the Arabs had mutilated
wounded Italians, but he points out
that there is no information that
women and children, the aged and
helpless, were guilty Of such offenses.

BLACK POWDER FOUND
Together With Unexpioded Dynamite
on the Raised Lighter Whistler.

New York. Feb. THE lighter Whist
Ter, which was sent to the bottom of the
North river by the disastrous explosion
in Communfpaw last Wednesday was
brought to the surface Monday afternoon
a wrecking tug. All doubt as to the pres
enee of black powder on the scene at the
time of the disaster was removed by the
finding of three cases of this explosive in
the essefs bow.
Near the unbroken powder cases were
found 200 pounds of dynamite in four
cases. The dynamite was intact. a
mans shoe was found on the deck, but
no bodies were in the boat, the wreclers
declared, after superficial examination.
The vessel was suspended above the wa
ter by steel cables and was closely
watched by detectives to prevent posi-
bfe attempt at removal
The timbers of the boat were sprung
from stem TO stern and there was large
hole in the stern. The boilers and ma
chinery were intact, however. Prosecutor
Carver. who is conducting the investiga-
ton, said that he was satisfied that there
mad been no explosion on the Whistler
and that she had been sunk by the eSplo-
sion on the Katherine W., nearby.

Utah Posse Chas-

Salt Lake City. Utah. Feb. An armed
uprising by Greek coal miners ut kenil-
worth. Carbon county. Utah, was sup
pressed Monday after four men had been
killed, one fatally wounded and several
others slightly hurt by stray bullets.
Rioters. nearly 90 in number, are re-
treating through the hills in scattered
bands with Helper station on the Rio
Grande Railroad as the objective. Posses
numbering altogether about 90 men are
chasing the Greeks to prevent their cs-
cape. As the latter are armed, further
fighting Is expected.
The trouble began last Friday when the
Greek miners complained that aiscrimina-
ton was shown in the weighing of coal in
favor Of Americans. y proposal from the
mine superintendent that they appoint
their own weishers failed to give salts
faction.
The Greeks took to the foot hills Mon
day and began to fire on the Americans
who were going to work. In attempting
to dislodGe the sharpshooters Deputy
Sheriff Thomas Jackson was killed and
another deputy was fatally wounded.
When two of the Greeks had been kill
I'd, one mortally wounded and five others
