Short Work of in Brief Naval En-
counter.

Rome, Italy, Jan. 13.-The first i'm
portant naval battle in the Turko-
Italian war was fought in the Red sea
January Z, with the result that an
Italian cruiser squadron sunk seven
Turkish gurboats after a sharp ON
f1ict. A large number of Turkish sea-
men went down with their ships, but
others were rescued by boz from the
Italian warships. A Turkish yacht
was captured and is being brought to
Italy. The Turks were believed by
the Italians to be preparing to convoy
a military expedition which was to
cross Egypt and join the Turkish
forces in Tripoli.
Fire is Opened Immediately.
The division of Italian cruisers
which has been securing the coasts of
the Red sea in search of Turkish war
vessels and ships conveying contra
band destined for the Turkish garrf-
sons in Yemen province, Arabia, en-
countered the flotilla of Turkish gun
boats and at once opened fire. The
Turks replied, but their feeble arma-
ment succumbed to the superior
weapons of the Italian war vessels.
The fight was stiff, but ended soon in
the victory of the Italians.
The Italian warships which took the
principal part in the battle were the
cruiser Piemonte and the destroyers
Garibaldino and Artigliere. The COM
mander in chief had received orders to
destroy or capture the Turkish gun
boats. as reports had been received
that the were transporting from
Arabia Turkish troops destined to re-
inforce the Turkish army in Cyrenai-
ca, by way of Egypt.
Call on Foe to Surrender.
AS soon as the warships encountered
the Turkish gunboats a short distance
ou+ of the bay of Kunfda they sent
shots acros their bows and called on
them to surrender. The Turkish yes
sells gave nc sign of compliance land
the Italians opened a terrific fire,
throwing in a hail of shells from their
broadsides. The Turkish gunne re-
piled, but did not succeed in striking
the Italian vessels.
All of the Turkish boats soon
were on fire and in a few minutes be-
gan to sink. Boats were lowered from
the Italian ships and picked up many
Turkish seamen, but a large number
were drowned.
During the brief combat the Turk
ish gunners displayed utter incom-
petence. their small guns being fired
wildly. The shells from the Italian
ships were not directed at the Turk
ish yacht Fauvette. which accom-
panied the gunboats. and she was the
only unit of the Turkish f1otilla which
was not destroyed. The Fauvette is
being brought to Rome under convoy.
