THE TURKISH RESISTANCE IS VERY MUCH STRONGER
 THAN ITALY ANTICIPATED

Trouble similar to that of Monday" the dispatch continues, occurred at Tripoli, the Europeans betaking them selves in terror to the consulates and the seashore. This attack was pre- ceded by an ultimatum from the Turk ish commander to General Caneva to evacuate Tripol in 24 hours. A con- temptuous refusal was followed by an attack by the Arab cavalry upon the trenches at Ghirgarish, which were held by two battalions, and the assault was only repulsed when a regiment of infantry reinforced the defenders and caught the Arabs on the flank. General Caneva had scores of Arabs shot yesterday, their possession of arms being made crime punishable with death. The town Is now more secure"
 Dispatches received in London from Constantinople describes the Turks as elated over their success in Tripoli. It is believed here and at other capi- tals that the determined fighting of the Arabs will lengthen the war
 Correspondents who have returned to London on account of the severity of the censorship, express an opinion that the Italian losses through cholera and other diseases will be extremely se- were should the campaign last any great time. They say the troops are not suitably clothed for the tropical nights and that not the slightest pre- caution is taken to prevent them drink ing polluted water
 The newspaper, the Outlook, says 1t had special news from Egypt that may change the whole course of the war in Tripoli. It states that Enver Bey, whose |. unquestioned orthodoxy and honor make him almost sacred in the tents of the desert, has passed by camel relay through Egypt and has met the Grand Sheik of the Senuesi and united the whole land in a holy war against the Italian invaders.

New York, October 27.-Theodore Roosevelt fiatly declined today to make any comment on the Steel trust suit.

 "It sets forth you were deceived with regard to the Tennessee Coal and Iron company deal. Are you going to let them get away with that?'"
 sYou can't force me into saying one word" said MT. Roosevelt, snapping his teeth.
 Aside from the Tennessee Coal and Iron matter, what do you think of the expediency and common sense of the suit as a whole?"
 Not one word" said the former President.

London. october 27.-From uncen- sored dispatches from TripoH reaching England by way of Malta, which in uart are confirmed by censored dis patches reaching Rome, it is apparent that Italy's campaign in Tripol1 already has cost more lives than the govern ment anticipated, while the financial outlay will greatly exceed estimates Turks with their Arab allies, who, at best, 1t was believed, would only carry on a desultory campaign, offering sort of holiday for the invaders, have upset the calculations of the Italians by a series of concerted attacks in which. according to accounts sent by correspondents without submission to the censor, the Italians have lost.
 Che Turkish embassy issued state ment today claiming that in Mon days fighting the allies gained vic- tory, the italians losing 300 killed and 700 wounded. This is confirmed in part by an independent report that the Italians brought TOO wounded men into Tripoli and further by an announce ment from Rome that the government had decided to send forward 15,000 re- Inducements. .--....t,.
 Since then telegrams from various points, some rather conflicting, tell of d series of attacks, the latest on Thurs day. Thus far only censored accounts have been received of this engagement, but apparently it was extensive.
 One dispatch, which obviously was roughly handled by the censor says wonderful but untrustworthy stories about the. action are in circulation, but that the Italian riflemen and arr tillery say about 100 Italians were wounded and that it is claimed hund- reds of natives were killed in the palms, which cruiser was shelling.
 According to this dispatch deter mined attack was looked for today, Fri day being the Moslem Sunday.
 A belated account of Mondays fight coming by way of Malta, says the Ital- ians have no Knowledge of what brought about their defeat. The Moslems, thoroughly understand- ing each other prepared for a supreme effort to stagger or destroy the in vaders and only by accident did the Italians escape deadly ambuscades.
 .The .Moslem population" the dis patch continues, was expecting the sfgnal to rise, and awaited the chance to shoot or stab the Italians who had been drawn by strategem. to parts Ia yorable for an attack, but the Turks and Arabs showed themssaves too soon. Their plans and strength were partly discovered They numbered perhaps between 10000 and 50,0O0 Undeterred | by the failure of their tactics they fOII0ht daSnaratalv al Tho Italian ber- zaglieri or sharpshooters lost heavily, about 200 to 300 of them perishing" A later dispatch from the same source says there was an engagement Wednes- day and while the capture of 12000 Arabs and Turks Is mentioned, the as sertion also Is made that the Italian losses were heavy.
