the text of the declaration which the Ital ! ian charge handed to the porte: | t'The Italian embassy, carrying out the | orders of the King. has the honor to rctify you that the delay accorded by the royal government to the porte, with a view to the realization of certain nec- essary measures, has expired without 8 satisfactory reply reaching the Italian government. The lack of this reply only
 confirms the bad will, or want of power,
 of which the Turkish government and authorities have given such frequent proof. especially with regard to the rights and interests of Italians in Tripoli and Cyrenica.
 ",rhe royal government consequently is obliged itself to safeguard it's rights and interests as well as it's honor and dig nity, by all means at it's disposal. Events which will follow can only be regarded as the necessary consequence of conduct followed as long by the Turkish author ties.
 "The relations of peace and friendship being, therefore. interrupted between the two countries, Italy considers herself from this moment in state of WAT with Turkey. l have, therefore. the honor to make known to your highness that pass ports will be placed at the disposal of the charge d'affaires at Rome and I beg
 
 representatives of the royal government. "Ottoman subjects may continue to re- side in Italy without fear of an attack on their persons, property or affairs Turkeys reply to the Italian untima tum, which demanded assurances that there will be no resistance to the Ital- ian military occupation of Tripoli and Cyrene was communicated to the Ital- ian charge, Signor Di Martino, at 6:30 this morning.
 Message Friendly The message was couched in friendly terms. It expressed surprise at the ac- ton of Italy in view of the cordial rela- tions existing between the two countries. It pointed out that Italians interests in Tripoi had not been threatened and ex- pressed the hope that Italy would not at tempt to execute her contemplated meas ures.
 Assurances were given of Turkeys de- sire for peaceable settlement. The reply declared Italian subjects in Ottoman territory were exposed to no danger, as the authorities afforded them protection and added that Turkish mili- tary measures had been suspended dur ing the period of negotiations for set clement of difficulties.
 The reply was determined upon at a cabinet council, which continued at the palace from late yesterday until early this morning. Upon receiving the com munication the Italian. charge immedi- ately telegraphed it to Rome. The i'm pression in the diplomatic circles is that the note will not be satisfactory to Italy.
 The Turkish squadron has left Beirut and is returning to Constantinople. Every precaution has been taken to preserve order in the capital and throughout the provinces.
  Turks Bitter The Tanin in violent article today accused Italy of acting as an ordinary brigand and says that Turkey will re- spond with hatred and enmity, and the uitimatum will be the prelude to thunder of cannon. It adds:
 Turkey is not going to make a pre- tense of defending Tripoli and accept peace after the formal exchange of a few cannon shots.
 From this moment there will be inn placable hatred between Italians and Turks
 Not tic face of an Italian shall he seen in our towns. Not an Italian flag in our ports. ven- geance must dominate every other feel | ing

 Public indignation has been intense since the Italian demands were made known yesterday. The Italian charge pre- | sented the ultmatum at the usual week reception to the foreign representatives at the foreign office. Immediately after wards the grand vicar proceeded to the palace where the ministers were assem- bled in special council meeting. This morning it was stated the government had sent conciliatory reply to ltdiy. In diplomatic quarters doubt was express ed that the reply would delay the pur- pose of Italy, as the ultimatum made it plain that the only satisfactory answer would be Turkish acquiscence in Italy's plans to occupy Tripoli and Cyrene.
