Berlin oct. 2l.-A special dfspatoh -
the "Lokal Anzeiger' from Trioou b,
way OF Malta. reports q sanguirary asb,
on Thursday night near the CITY O,
Trpoli Tho TURKS surprised the ra,.
ians. who were caught hetwec. two
fires. The warships were unable 70 sivs
any assistance.
Fifteen Italian soldiers were found
dead in the trenches. \ large pile 0,
uniforms belonging 20 Italian soldiers
later was discovered I'm n field. wrich
leads to the belief that the Italian cas.
uaties were much more serious than
was admitted. Many dead and wounded
vc~e transported 10 the warships. The
authorities, however, assert that only
one man is missing.
The same correspondent says that ths
Turkish garrison at Berghazi IS stiu
Offering vigorous resistance 20 the Ttal-
ian troops and is being aided by the
Senussi tribcsmen. The landing o.
further troops has been hindered by
storm.
At the Ministry Of Foreign Affairs it
was stated to-day that the report from
Constantinople that negotiations were
pending for the entrance Of Turkey into
the Triple Alliance was unfounded
! In this matter the Foreign Office calls
attention 70 the inherent improhability
of such an arrangement at a moment
when one member Of the alliance has
seized Tripoli. n second (Austria) has in.
! formed the Porte Of her acceptance Of tbs
new situation, being glad Italy's attsn-
! ton is div ted from the Adriatic. and
1.-THE third Germany is unpopular In Con-
stantinople because She did not prevent
the seizure of Tripoli by Italy.
The Foreign Office IS unwilling TO com-
ment further on tho significance Of the
Turkish Grand Viziers reference 10 al
! liarces and Friendships in his speech in
parliament. but II is thought here to be
FAR more probable that he referred to
negotiations with Great Britain. How
ever. the Foreign Office has no informa-
ton of the existence Of such negotiations
4
at home and abroad the employment e
seemingly excessive forces by italy in its
| Tripolitan campaign has come in for cri!-
clsm. II is pointed out that this policy is
not compatible with the expressed inten-
ton Of Italy 70 avoid bloodshed.
Premier Gioitti, II is explained. IS FOL-
loving the same course IN this war as 'hs
followed in his home policy. A. The frsr
sign os discord II has been his policy -
| mass sufficient police and troops ~ make
resistance impracticable. TIE Premier has
not forgotten Italys defeat in Abyssir'a.
and he holds that no excess of caution Is
unjustifed.
! His wish has been 70 make the occupa-
ton Of Tripoli certain. without risk and
with the avoidance OF the horrors Of war.
The show Of force. he believed. would I'M
press the Turks sufficiently 20 prevent them
! from Offering serious resistance.
| II is reported that General Roblsnt, chief
Of the international gendarmerie in Mace-
donia. who has been ordered back - ltaIy,
will probably be appointed Governor or
| Tripou. when the war IS ended, owing %
his knowledge OF the Mussulmans.
