in This City.

The recent article published in th,'
Graphic making known the fact that
the first shot in the Civil War vas
fired at Pine Bluff, has attracted I'M
usual attention throughout the coua-
try On last Sunday the ST Louis

story of the incident and included
many interesting details of the firing
of the first shot Of the war betv cen
the states
On yesterday the Graphic received
clipping as proof OF the claim from
the Confederate Veteran, of February
1907, which helps to substantiate The
claim. The clipping was sent to ,his
paper by Mrs. c. w. Barker, CT
Homeland, Fla, where she read the
account in the Graphic. The clip
ping reads:
"The writer witnessed the attack
made by the Minute Men of Napol-
/ con, Ark. on the steamer Ohio Belle,
which occurred before the capture of
Fort Sumter, thus being the first gun
!. of the war. He then participated in
skirmish at Monticello, Ark, which
was reported by Colonel Rogan from

Among the visitors in Pine Bluff
yesterday was General W. H. Haynes
of Little Rock, member of five
committees on arrangements for the
entertainment of the visitors and
veterans at the reunion in May, the
most conspicuous of which is the
encampment and registration com-
mittee, and by reasons of his mem
bership, can assure the people of Ar
kansas that no reunion in the history
of the south will be more celebrated
for perfectness of plans and taking
care of veterans and visitors when in
Little Rock.
General Haynes wrote the memoir
ial adopted by the General Assembly
requesting the Congress to authorize
the Secretary of War to loan tents
for this great occasion. The execu-
tive committee has appropriated its
largest sum for the special purpose
of taking care of the veterans and
every soldier will enjoy such hospi-
tality so that not man of them will
be required to pay out one single
cent after arriving in Little Rock.
The executive committee will have
1880 beds, 1850 of which will be
located at Camp Kavanaugh for the
use of citizens. The others will be
in tents at City Park for veterans
The best cooks that money can hire
to cook and the best food that
was eaten will be provided. General
Haynes is on the streets here solicit
ing contributions.
While in the city General Hayne@

War Dogs Loosed in Europe
Italy Declares War on Turkey
OcIa Announcement Made From Rome Today That the Two
Countries Were in State of War Ottoman Government
Conceded Some Demands But Evaded Direct Reply

Rome. italy. Sept. 2e.--Italy has de-
clared war on Turkey.
The off1cial announcement was made
late this afternoon. 1t is declared that
the two countries were In a state Of
war beginning at $3.50 o'clock On the
afternoon OF Friday. Sept. 20.
This is the hour at which the Italian
ultimatum to Turkey expired and fol-
lowed session Of the cabinet at which
the Turkish reply was considered and
found unsatisfactory
/ Though every indication pointed To-
this action by the royal government.
there was always the possibility that
the good Offices OF other governments
would be successful in avoiding hostil-
tiles and when the final decision Of the
cabinet was announced the excitement
throughout the city was intense
Throughout the earlier hours of the
day the papers had issued special edi-
tions announcing that the Italian fleet
was moving in plain sight of the coast
OF Tripoli and intimating that war
might be declared at any moment.
Minister OF foreign affairs, Signor Di
San Giuliano. received the Turkish re-
ply from the Turkish ambassador this
morning and Immediately went into
conference with his associates In the
ministry.

1t is understood that the Ottoman
government completely conceded
ttaly's economic claims in Tripoll but
evaded direct answer demanded by
this government, which had set forth
In it's ultimatum that Turkey must say
that she would not resist the proposed
occupation of Tripoli and Cyrene. In
stead the porte sent a conciliatory note
suggesting further delay.
1t was known that at the same time
Turkey transmitted note to the
powers In which 1t Is assumed. that
She represented herself as me injured
party and by inference at least, sought
their Intervention.
The royal government decided TO
stand absolutely by their ultimatum Of
yesterday and in the absence OF the
reply called for to declare Italy and
Turkey In state Of war from the hour
that the ultimatum of twenty -four
hours expired.

terms and expressed surprise at the
action Of Italy in view Of the cordial
relations existing between the two
countries. 1t pointed out that Italian
interests in Tripoli had not been
threatened and expressed the hope that
Italy would desist from her contem-
plated measures. Assurance was given
Of Turkeys desire for a settlement Of
matters pending between the two gov
ernments.
The reply also stated that Italian
subjects in the Ottoman territory were
exposed to no danger as the authors
ties AFFORDED them protection and added
that Turkish military measures had
been suspended during the period of
negotiations for the settlement OF diff
ferences.
The reply was determined upon at
a cabinet council which continued at
the palace from late yesterday until
early today.
