ITALY DISTRUSTS AUSTRIA
Official View Is in Favor of cal
bania for Albanians.n

Rome, Nov. l7.-Public opinion I'm italy
with regard TO the Austro- Servian diff
Guilty is about equally divided. There is a
strong sentiment which favors the Bal
kan state. while there is also a notlceab Bile
leaning toward the defence OF Albania
against Servian aspirations.
Among Italians generally a distrust IL
apparent regarding Austrlas policy. nut
the opinion held in official circles is that
II would be to ltaly's interest If the slo-
gan Albania for the Alhanians" should
result in realization, and that IL the bal
ance in the Adriatic is not TO be disturbed
Italy would do well to proceed In agree
ment with Austria. II Is pointed out that
Austria Is not adycnturously inclined and
Will content herself with equitable sou-
tons acceptable To Seryia so far as a
commercial outlet 20 the Adriatic il con-
cerned.
Italy, however, has not engaged herself
to uphold AustrIa's pretensions to eco
monte privileges. and will defend, If nee
esaary, SeryIa's economic liberty
AS for Albania, Italy Will see that that
country Is really independent and does
not become mere vassal OF Austria.

CBy cable to The Tribune.l

Constantinople, Nov. 1S.-The s-rtous
nature of the position in the capital is
shown by the fact that strong detach-
ments of marines have been landed
from the warships Arrangements nave
been made to accommodate 100 men at
the British Embassy.
The German stationaire has gone to
Haidar Pashe to protect the Anatcllan
Railway and the German colony.
The marines landed are provided with
a complete equipment of Maxim guns.
The official explanation of this landing
is that this action was taken for the
purpose Of quieting the nervousness
caused by the heavy gun fire at Tcha-
taldja
There are now more than thousand
cases of cholera daily in and around
Constantinople, and the death rate has
reached 80 per cent The authorities
are quite powerless to cope with the
situation.
Three Thousand Cholera Patients.
On Thursday last three thousand
cholera patients arrived by train at
San Stefano. They would have been
brought here but for the protests OF the
railway company and the Austrian
Ambassador who asked that they be
sent TO the Iazarettos at Becos ana
Ismidt.
For twenty-four hours the patients
remained In the train on siding at
San Stefano without water food or
any medical attention. Then they were
shipped 10 the quarantine station. IL
they had been Of the lower order OF
animals they could not have been more
neglected. Yesterday a foreign doctor,
assisting in the military hospital dis
covered by accident that five soldiers
dying OF cholera had been placed
among the wounded. He ordered their
removal. Bearers took up the dying
men on their shoulders. but their COM
dition was such that he ordered the
bearers TO drop them. This they lit
orally did, and the unfortunates were
left Iying in the mud for an hour,
grooming and in commissions, before
they were removed on stretchers.

ditions behind the Turkish lines at

tions under cover of heavy artillery.
London. Nov 1S.-Bulletins received
from several Of the British correspond
cuts near the front agree that the long
expected battle at the Tchataldja
lines was in progress yesterday. Can
uonading is clearly heard in Constan-
tnople.
An official communication says that
an attack by the Bulgarian right wing
at Buyuk Tchekmedche has been sue
ccssfuny repulsed. Another message
says that the Bulgarian left wing has
been rcpulsed.
The French Ambassador telegraphed
at O'Clock last evening that the bat
tie was still raging.
Nazim Pachas headquarters are near
the Hadcmkeui railway station. Ac-
cording TO latest reports the battle
ceased with nightfalL
The resumption Of hostilities Is not
regarded as indicating the total collapse
Of the peace negotiations, but rather
as a means 10 hasten Turkeys accept
ance of the allies terms, by proving
her complete helplessness, or, as one
correspondent phrases it. "to establish
an accomplished fact before making
further communications"
In limiting 10 Turkey that she was
willing to consider the question Of an
alliance Bulgaria has demonstrated
that the Balkan states clearly have in
mind the formation Of a political bund
which would bc able to defy European
Interference in the disposition of the
spells of war.
Every day brings fresh dispatches
recording the terrible spread OF chol-
era, and It IS stiIl doubted whether
the Bulgarians will risk the danger
. n
therefore believed that hostiIitles have
been resumed in order TO hurry the
Portc's acceptance Of whatever terms
the allies may dictate.
il is reported in the Italian papers
that Austria has greatly modified her
demands on Scrvia.
Demonstrations Of sympathy with the
Balkan aspirations are causing trouble
I'm the Bosnian Diet. which has publicly
protested against the Austrian govern
mcnts attitude I'm favoring the Al
banlaus end opposing the Scrvians.
The town councils Of SpalatO and
ScbcricO, in Dalmatia, have been dis
solved BY the government on account OF
their pro- Serviau sympathies.

GREEKS AGAINST JEWS?
Reported Anti Semitism in
Salonica Is Denied.

Athens. Nov. ia semi-oflicial

that friction exists at Salonica be-

ConstantinopIe. Nov Il OO45 p M.
The great BATE between the Bull
garians and Turks is on all along the
line of the Tchataldja Notifications
Nazim Pacha, the Turkish commander
in chief, sends the following dispatch
tonight:
The battle which commenced this
morning with an attack by the Bull
garian infantry lasted until one hour
after sunset The enemy, who ad-
vanced chiefly facing our right wing
and our centre. was repulsed by our
infantry and artillery fire. Three Bull
garian batteries were destroyed"
In the afternoon the wind shifted, and
it seemed for a time as though the Dat
lie had ended. but again the booming
was heard, and the movement Of troops
could be observed not far from the very
gates TO the capital. a detachment Of
several thousands from the Tchataldja
lines was replaced by fresh troops
which had been held i'm reserve near the
city.
The refugees behind the lines began
10 break camp early in the day and to
move back toward COnstantinople. The
Greek villagers, who heretofore had re-
NAMED admirably Indifferent TO events,
prepared to desert their homes.
Several members Of the legations and
other foreign residents witnessed the
artillery duel, which they describe as
magnificent, on the Sea Of Marmora
and the Smelling from height to height
across Buyuk Tchekmedche Lake and
over the plains toward the north. The

The Turks succeeded after some hours
Of violent fghting in defeating the
right Bulgarian wing and in repulsing
the left wing. They captured twelve
guns and eight thousand prisoners.
The Turkish warships contributed
largely to this success"
Starved in Sight of Food.
Ashmead Bartlett, correspondent Of
THE Daily Telegraph" at the Turk
ish headquarters at Hademkeui, sends
the following, dated Friday, by way
Of Constanza:
"The Turkish soldiers are starved.
They are suffering from the effects OF
the terrible Lule Burgas battle and
are falling easy victims to the chol-
era. ,dysentery and enteric. Even
now, close as the army is to Constan-
unople, the men are receiving only
bare ration Of bread, with rice occa-
sionally.
This is all the more extraordinary
in view of the fact that the whole
country between the lines and Con-
stantinopIe is crowded with livestock
driven in by the refugees. Although
the Turkish commander has every
thing else required, for some ineNpllca-
bic reason he has made no effort 10
use the immense quantities Of fresh
meat at hand
AT LuIe Burgas, while the' com
mander in chiefs army was starving
enormous herds of sheep grazed uhaer
the fire of the enemy and were driven
off with the routed army. Yet hum
dreds of men died of starvation IN
sight of food.
ANY other army would have consia-
cred it God-sent. The Turk is not "
meat eater and seems to be unable 10
change the habits of his lifetime, even
to meet the exigencies Of actual starva-
ton. Moreover, the Turkish soldiers
are quite incapable Of looking after
themselves in the field, and would not
kill a sheep without an order from an
officer.
The men openly declare they don
want to fight. 1t is Impossible 10
arouse in the Asiatic Turkish soldiers
any enthusiasm over war in Euro
pean Turkey. They hardly seem to re-
gard the country as part Of the Turkish
Empire. Their minds are far more eX-
ercised over the loss Of Tripoli than
over the disasters which have over
whelmed their armies in Thrace and
Macedonia"

MARINES LANDED

Strong Detachments Armed with Complete
Equipment Of Maxim Guns To Be

Tchataldja is the indifference Of the
army to the presence Of unauthorized
visitors. Any foreigner wearing either
a fez or a European hat may hire
vehicle and drive to the Turkish in
trenchments and inspect the troops.
There appears to be no Gordon to pre-
vent fugitives from returning to Con-
stantinople.
Several foreign officers who visited
the lines on Thursday and Friday re-
port the situation hopeless. The
trenches are only partly dug. A huge
pile of barbed wire is stacked near the
endangered northern, or right. wing.

THE ZELIG MURDER.

The killing o. ZeIig was timed Ike
that Of Rosenthal. Both were just
about to give evidence for the state
against the protectors Of vice and
crime. For this reason it looks like the
work Of a similar criminal conspiracy.
Whether it was intended to deprive
the District Attorney Of an important
witness and terrorize his other wit
nesSes or was merely an act Of ven
geance Of a personal enemy will re-
quire the most careful investigation.
Whichever it was it will seriously In
terfere with the work Of the prosecu-
tor, making his other witnesses against
Becker fearful of their lives. Either
puposely or by a coincidence 1t was
timed so az to strike terror among
informers.
The police showed unusual alertness
in the prompt capture of the murderer
but the crime, whoever was really re-
sponsible for 1t. exhibits the contempt
in which assassins hold the police IN
this city. 1t was committed in the
boldest and most open manner. a com
munity which had no police protec-
ton at all would not suffer from more
high handed crime than does New
York. And, incidentally, the lack of
system and proper discipline in the
police force was illustrated. The muir
derer used a pollceman's revolver. The
officer to whom it belongs says that
he lost it year and half ago ana
has had none since. Has not the de-
partment any means Of informing 1t
self whether the officers are properly
equipped or not? Is not an officer ever
required to show his revolver to his
superiorS?
