mated population of more than mil
lion and half have been captured

on condition that the sultan's sover-

generally discredited here The
Populo Romano editorially declares
such an agreement would not be
sanctioned by parliament and would
be torn to pieces by the people. There
is evidently a considerable feeling Of
resentment at the manner in which
Italy has been condemned throughout
Europe for Its action In declaring war.
The Italian members of the interna-
tional peace bureau at Berne are
threatening to resign as consequence
OF the criticisms Of their government
which have been made at the conven-
tion. The delegates insist that Italy
has only followed the example of
Great Britain, France and Spain.
Disquieting news reaches here from
Tripoli where the cholera is said to be

the advance into the interior, which,
