LIKE TARGET PRACTICE. Italians Do Little Damage as Possible to Save Future Expense.

Rome (via frontier), Oct. 4-In eau tjoning Rear Admiral Aubrey, Admiral Farayelli and Admiral Thaon di Revel to limit their action to sileneing the batteries at Tripoli and compelling the Turkish garrison to surrender or evac- tate, the instructions from the minis try of marine told the officers to re- member that the provinces were about to pass under Italian control and the more damage done by the 7oornbard- nent, the greater would be the expense or repair later.
 Like Shooting Com -etition.
 A message from Admiral Thaon di Eevel says that at times the action aappeared more like a shooting com petition than bombradment. The officers and sailors placed wa~~--- on the results of specified gunWork. In one instance an order was given to dis1nant1e particular battery. One of the gunners was heard to say: T bet I can knock down the left turret at the first shot, When the smoke had cleared away, 1t was seen that the turret had disappeared. yThe same voice behind the gun spoke again: Now the right turret." In a flash the second mark was in ruins.
 Clever Censorship at Tripeli.
 The representatives of the foreign governments here admire the organiza- ton of the censorship which, although it is strongly condemned by the press permitted the government to make all it's preparations for war both on land and sea in perfect secrecy. It appears now that the government executed a Lit of strategy at the expense of the correspondents who went to Tripoli These men were permitted to go to the scene of war, some of them being ac- commodated on vessels of the fleet.
 Correspondents "BottIed Up' at Sea.
 This action was rather a surprise in view of the governm general atti- tude toward the press. The corFespen- dents, however, had not been long ir TripoH when upon the preteEt that the bonlba rdrnent was to begin immediate Iy. and the desire of the Italian off cers to secure their safety. they were taken aboard the wafships and as the story goes here bottled up" at sea where they were unable to communi- cate the course of subsequent events.

Djerba. Tunis Oct 4.-Tripo1i has been bombarded twice by the Italian fleet. The first shot was fired shortly after o'clock yesterday afternoon. Smelling was resumed early this morn , ing, after quiet night.
 The Forts Respond. There was a steady but slow fire from the warships until dusk last evening, and shots also came from the forts in the town The French steamer Tafana took a delegation from Djerba out to the scene of hostilities. Among the party was the. French consul gen eral, M. Leon, who made several in effectual attempts to land. The Tafana was stopped by the cruiser Narez when about ten miles from TripoH. boat from the Narez was sent to the sight seeing steamer and it ordered her to return, but she remained for more than hour and then crept in closer to the ib1ockaded town.
 Turkey Given Another Day of Grace. FrorR the distance the white build irgs of Tripoli could be plainly seen, and the whole field of operations was Enfolded before the eyes of the watch CTS. The Varez's officers kindly ex- piained that the battle was delayed be- cause Admiral Aubrey, commander of the Italian feet had received a re- euest from the Tripoli garrison for an- other days grace after the expiration of three days notice to surrender. The admiral gave the garrison an extra few hours.
 Varez Kept Off Intruders. The battleship Benedetto Brin and the armored cruisers Giuseppe Gari- baldi and Francesca Ferrucio drew up in line opposite the haroor. There were no small craft in the battle line and the Narez stood off to keep back in- truders.
 No Warship Was Hit. There was no sign of life in the city which appeared to be deserted, but the Turkish flag flew from the castle and forts. The first shots were directed towards Charchitti fort. and later Kerkereche fort was shelled No sooner did the first shells burst over Tripoli than the garrison seemed to awaken. It returned the fire with vigor. A heavy cannonade was kept up on both sides for few minutes and then firing became desultory. So far as could be seen, no Harship was hit.
 Second Attack More Destructive. | At o'clock Vice Admiral Faravelli ordered his ships to cease firing to l permit the town to surrender, but no sign of surrender was given, and after the lapse of few minutes the ships began again. This time great havoc was wrought. Fortifications were
 razed to the ground the forts suffered severely and the lighthouse to the
