WAR DECLARED BY
TWO GREAT POWERS

action is begun, to prevent any at
tempt by Turkey to attack the
Italian coast through private en-
frances, which will be easy from
the Albanian coast, which is on the
opposite side of the Adriatic sea,
and is but a few hours sail from
the Italian side. which is quite un-
defended.
The ships have been instructed
also to defend not only Italians
bot all foreigners property and
life, on Ottoman territory, landing
forces if necessary CIR taking fugi-
tives.
The expedition consists of a COM
p,e1e corps which will be used in
its entirety if necessary. 1t will be
commanded by General c. Caneva,
who has formed his staff with Gen.
Preiccoola and Gen. Becorie are in
command of a division and with
Gen. Castaldello of the general staff.
His instructions are that the oc-
cupation of Tripoll and Cyrene shall
be conducted with the least possible
delay but with prudence to avoid
both foreign complications and un-
necessary bloodshed.
Admiral Aubrey, in command of
the Italian vessels in the waters
of Tripoli, has been instructed. when
the order to begin the occupation is
issued, to embark immediately the
few Italians who may be left there
and any foreigners wishing to leave.
These, it is thought, will amount
to about 100.

ROME, Sept 30.-Italy has de-
clared war On Turkey. The official
announcement was made late yes
terday afternoon. 1t declared that
the two countries were in a state
of war beginning at 2:30 in the
afternoon OF Friday, September 30
This is the hour at which the
Italian ultimatum to Turkey ex-
pired and followed a session of the
cabinet at which the Turkish reply
was considered and found unsatis-
factory.
Though every indication pointed
tc this action by the royal govern
ment there was always a possibil-
lity that the good Offices of other
governments would be successful in
avoiding hostilities and when the
! final decision of the cabinet was
announced the excitement through
ont the city was intense.
Throughout the earlier hours of
tho day the papers had issued spe-
cial editions announcing that the
! Italian fleet was moving in plain
sight of the coast of Tripoli and in
timating that war might be declared
at any moment.
The minister of foreign affairs,
Signor Di San Giuliano, received the
Turkish ambassador this morning
and Immediately went into confer
ence with his associates in the
ministry.
1t is understood that the Otto
man government completely conced-
ed Italys economic claims in Trip
oil but evaded a direct answer de-
lmanded by this government, which
had set forth in it's ultimatum that
Turkey must say that she would not
