Berlin, Oct is.--Edward Mygind, an ex-
yetienced correspondent of the zeitung
Am Mittag. cabling this paper from
Jerba. an island belonging to Tunis and
a point where he escaped the Italian
censorship. says that the Italian losses
in nightly skirmishes in Tripoii are con-
siderable and that the Italians asser-
lions that the Turks and Arab allies
are discouraged and intend TO surrender
are pure humbug.
Cholera. he states, has claimed many
victims among the Italian troops and
the residents OF Tripoli.
Myg.nd adds that 5000 Italian troops
have been landed on the Tripoltan coast,
that their Organization is excellent,
though the soldiers complain that their
clothes ard equipment are too heavy. and
that there is no thought OF an advance
into the interior before the present army
has been reinforced.
