Rome, June 2S.--Aithough it was
officially denied today that Italy will
participate i'm the campaign against
the DArdanelles. either by land or
sea. II seems more than ever certain
that there will shortly be declara-
ton OF war between the Italian and
Turkish Governments. This like
lihood wis given substance today by
news from Tripoli that prisoners
taken there confessed that the rebels
were commanded by Turkish and
German officers. Furthermore, ennis
saries of the Sultan have been melting
the natives to a holy war. and per-
suading them to overthrow the
Italian rule. It Is the general feel
ing here that in view OF these facts,
although there has as yet been no
break in the Italian-Turkish diplo-
matte relations. Italy 10 justified In
displaying hostility toward Turkey
without declaration OF war
The Official denial that the Italians
will participate In the pardanelieA
operations came as q result of per-
sistent rumors that both an expedi-
tionary force and warships were to
be sent against Constantinople. The

were passed by the censor. This pa
