LONDON. Jan. si--'rhe activity OF the
Italian war vessels in the Mediterranean
and the Red seas Is causing increasing
uneasiness in shipping insurance circles.
Several large insurances have been cf-
fected during the last Two days at Lloyds
IN this connection. A premium OF . per
cent was accepted TO cover the risk Of
an outbreak Of hostillties between France
and Italy In the course Of the next four
months and. although there Is no appar-
ent reason for such an occurrence, a
risk OF an outbreak Of war between
Great Britain and France and within the
next six months.
The Italian action In stopping steamers
Irrespective OF their nationality and
searching them for Turkish officers ard
contraband Is believed TO be an evidence
OF the determination Of the Italian gov
ernment TO put an end TO Turkish resi-
dence In Tripoli as speedily as possible.
Other Complications Probable.
II is thought. however, that the Itallan
activity may give rise TO complications
with those European powers whose ship
ping is put TO Inconvenience.
So far no action has been announced
by the British government In regard to
the seizure by the Italians Of a number
OF Turkish officers. including the famous
Ria Bey. from the British steamer AZ
rica, in the Red sea. As however. tiIa
declaration Of London, which would per-
init such seizure. has not been ratified
by Great Britain. a move may be made
at any time.
The stoppage OF the Austrian steamer
Bregenz yesterday In the Red sea Is re-
garded heer as likely TO lead to an ex-
change Of views between Austria and
Italy.
Diplomats Talk n Over.
ROME. Jan. 2L-Ths Marquis Di San
Giulisno. the italian foreign minister. and
Camelle- Barrere, the French ambas.
sador TO Italy. had an Interview today
at. which the question Of the capture OF
the Turkish doctors and nurses from Tho
French steamer Manouba was fully dis.
cussed. The Italian foreign minister ex-
pressed regret that the incident should
even have threatened the cordial rela.
lions that existed between France and
Italy.
