JEALOUSY CAUSES THE
CALLING OF CAVALRY

Lisbon, Nov. "A scene Of jealousy
recently occasioned the calling out of q
regiment of cavalry, battalion of in
fantry and the entire police force and
resulted in the killing Of seven persons
and the wounding of 20 others in the
streets of Oporto.
A well known and wealthy local mer-
chant had a few weeks ago married a
rich and beautiful woman. While walk
ing on one of the principal streets of
the city Ire met an unsuccessful sutton
for his wifes hand. Hot words passed
between the two men, quickly followed
by blows, and revolvers were drawn.
Meanwhile a number Of friends Of the
two men had come up. In all some ESQ
persons assembled around the two dis
putants. Sides were taken and a reg
ular pitched battle ensued, arousing the
city
The governor turned out the whole
police force and directed them to the
battlefield. but at their appearance the
two parties Joined forces and turned
their weapons upon the police, who
were completely routed, leaving two
killed and six wounded on the ground.
The Twenty ninth infantry. regiment
and the Seventh cavalry were then
called out. The soldiers surrounded
the combatants and after a short re-

FINANCIAL STRENGTH OF ITALY
IN WAR WITH TURKEY IS
SURPRISE. TO EUROPE
NoForeign Loan Required to Meet the Enormous
Expenditures Brought on By the
Years Struggle

Italy had on hand a war emergency
fund amounting to some $13.o00,000.
At the end Of the fiscal year for 1912
in place Of 100000 surplus to the
budget that had been expected there
was a surplus of nearly $12.000.O00
These two together have comprised all
of the ready cash which the govern
ment had on hand for trying to con-
vert the two Turkish provinces of
Tripoli and Cyrenaica into italian ter
ritory
The remaining four flfths Of the cost
Of the war Is declared to have come
almost entirely from various italian
financial institutions which are semi
governmental If not entirely govern
mental in character. As these instf-
buttons are run only for the purpose
of serving the public and making
enough money to pay the cost Of main-
tenance, the government has been able
to secure funds at the lowest possible
rate Of interest.
This money is to be paid back out
Of the budget surpluses during the
years to come. For some time past
there has been an annual budget sur
plus of about sS,OO0,O00. Thus flnan-
cial experts figure that Italy will be
abe to pay back in about 10 years. Out
of it's budget SURPRISES, all Of the loca
loans it has made without inflicting a
penny of extra taxes or financial hard

BY Henry Wood.
(Rome Correspondent of the United
Press)
Rome, Nov. 2.-One ofthe greatest
surprises to Europe, growing out OF
Italy's war with Turkey, has been the
financial strength of the former coun-
try, heretofore ranked as one of the
poorer of Europe While throughout
the entire conflict, sem-tranquil as 1t
may have been, the European press
has been inclined to admit that ltaly's
naval and military success has given
the country an entirely new ranking
amongst the European powers as re-
CARDS war strength, it Is only recently
that the press began to occupy itself
with the even more amazing financial
side.
With the close of the first year OF
the war, Sept. 30. Italy had spent in
round numbers S94,0O0,000. OF this
some SIT. 100000 was spent in naval
operations, and about $76,400,000 In
military operations.
The surprise, however, has not been
so much at the cost of the war as al
the fact that Italy has been able to
raise every ISOLDE" of it at home, with
out foreign loan or assistance from
foreign bankers. In addition, no extra
taxes have been imposed, save slight
stamp tax, and there has been no in
terruption of public works.
