say* that great excitement prevalla in
the Jltallan capital over the ultimatum,
tho time limit of whloh will eotplrc
?arly to-morrow. Tho majority of
Italians do not expoot Turkey to com?
ply with the demands. In which case
the squadrons at Taranto and Ag-oatu
?111 Join the fleet off Tripoli.
A report Is In circulation In Rom?
tjiat the occupation will be ordered at
Z o'clock Friday morning If a eatls
fnotory answor from Turkey hae not
been received. Crowds gathered In
the streets prepared to spend a sleep
lets night.
At Tarnnto and Agot>ta. where the
squadrons are lying, and at Naples
? rid Genoa, from which ports the
trunsports with the troops will start,
there were evidences to-night of prep?
arations for a quick departure. The
police and carbineers In many cltlea
have been reinforced for the p\rpose
of putting down threatened dlscfders
by the extremists.
Situation Is Critical.
Tripoli. September 2S.?The Italian
fleet Is demonstrating off this port. It
has not yet attempted to land men.
A cordon has been drawn along the
coast to prevent the Turks from land?
ing arms and men
All last night Italian warships
passed and repassed close tn, throw?
ing their searchlights on the town.
Five Italian battleships, "one cruiser
and six destroyers arrived this af?
ternoon, but did not anchor. They
lire still visible.
The greatest excitement prevails
everywhere. Banks and business
houses are closed. Trade is complete?
ly paralyzed. The Europeans who re?
main in Tripoli are gathered In groups
In the streets. Nearly all tho Italians
have sent their families away, the
consul giving them free passage. The
steamship Adrln, with steam up, is
kept here at the disposition of the
Italian consul.
The Turkish authorities are doing
their utmost to maintain order, but
there Is an undercurrent of . grave
alarm. Turkish pickets are patrolling
the town day and night. The most ?
threatening danger is that the Arabs j
may riso against the Italians who '
nr.- .still here. The depurture of many !
Europeans has Intensified the feeling \
Of tho Arabs against Italians.
Trading vessels lie In tho roadsted. !
their cargoes undischarged. No native
or foreign labor can be obtained so H
Ihrcatening is tho native population. [
Probably the remaining members of !
the Italian colony will leavo Tripoli
Jo-morrow. At present they ore gath- j
ered at the consulate.
Russia Keeps Hands Off.
St Petersburg, September IS.?Tur?
key has made on appeal to Russia. In
which she ? cts forth the action taken by
Italy and asks what Russia's attitude
Is In tho present situation. The for?
den office to-day replied that Russia
had nothing to say on the subject, as
Tripoli solely concerns Turkey and
Italy,

Zurich. Switzerland, September 28.?
Pix hundred Italian workmen employ?
ed here held a violent demonstration
to-night against the proposed expe?
dition to Tripoli. They attacked the
Kalian consulate, smashing the win?
dows.
Cruisers Iteud; to Start.
Toulon. September 2S.?The French
cruisers Lon Gambetta and Ernest
Ronan have steamed up, In readlnes.s
to start at a moment's notice for
Tripoli to protect the French resl
donts.
Reply Already Delivered.
Ijondon. September 2S.?It whs stat?
ed here to-night, that Turkey already
luis sent her reply to Italy's Ultimatum,
expressing willingness to give prompt
consideration to Italy's grievances, as

It 1b understood that the Turkish i
ambassador to Great Britain, Tewflk
Pasha, on Tuesday informed the Brit?
ish foreign office that the landing of a
single Italian soldier in Tripoli would
be treated as a casus belli. He also
begged the British government to use
its good offices to br'ng about a settle?
ment.
Sir Arthur Nicholson, permanent sec?
retary of the foreign office. It la fur?
ther understood, replied that the gov
ernnient would be unable to Interfere,
as British Interests were not Involved.
It Is expected, however, that Sir Ed- j
ward Grey will receive Tewflk Pasha i
to-morrow, when the question of medl- {
ation may be reojoned.
The British press denounces ltaly'b
action in unmeasured term", assorting
that Italy's ultimatum sets forth no
reason for the step, which Turkey can
regard only as an uct of war. The ]
general view expressed is that Italy |
evidently is bent upon forcibly seizing
the Tripoli coast, and has ruled diplo
macy out of court by her precipitate ;
action, which gives Turkey no chancel
to negoliate terms.
A dispatch to the Chronicle from
Constantinople says that the German
ambassador. Baron Marchall von Ble
berslcin, to-day handed the Sultan an
autograph letter from the German Em?
peror, promising every support with a
view to a peaceful settlement.
The powers, says the dispatch, have
notified the Porte that they are unable
to interfere. This caused a feeling of
bitter disappointment. in tho event
of u rupture, assurances have been
given that. Great Britain will under?
take to safeguard Italian Interests In
Turkey. Although tho . Turkish gov?
ernment 1b doing its utmost to allay
excitement, an outburst of Moslem
fanaticism is feared.

I8pecial to The Times-Dispatch.]
Lynohburg, Va., September ;!S.?Tnere
la no doubt that military protecTIon !
will be asked tor Bun Hubard when
ho Is takon back to Livingston on Oc
loboc 6, that being the date set for
his trial for the murder of Dr. J. A.
Pottlt. at Lovingston last Monday.
There seems to bo no way to avoid
tho necessity of taking llubard back
to Livingston on tho day set for his
trial, despite the fact that his counsel j
will ask Judge Gordoii to defer the
actual trial for some time In order
to give an opportunity to prepare tho I
case for the accused. That this con?
tinuance will be granted is generally I
expected, but the motion cannot be
made in tho absence of tho prisoner
Mr. L?ee, while he would not talk for |
publication as to the necessity of mili?
tary to proteot his client, or what Ms I
viewB will bo with regard to a change j
of venire or venue, did admit that ho j
could sec no way by which the case
could be called and continued for aj
later trial without llubard buing pres- |
ent. He did not think the counsel for '
the defense would have the right to
secure a continuance of the cuso un?
less llubard was there.
Fecliug Is Hitter. ?
A woil-ltnown resident of the city, ]
who returned late last night from I
Kosclund, where he -was prtsent yos- j
terday at the burial of Dr. Pettlt. stated j
to-day that the feeling is an intense i
one against llubard, despite the fact |
that tlie people of the county appear j
genorally to believe tho man is Insane.
This man, who is ono of the most con?
servative professlunal men of the city,
said ho found the feeling vory bitter
aguluBt Hubard, who, he thought,
would not stand the slightest show of j
getting out of the county alive if he ]
wus taken back theie in October with?
out sufficient military force,
I It Is evident from this feeling that j
while the people of Nelson regard llu?
bard as eccentric or insane, at the samo
time they hold him responsible for the
murder of Dr. Pettlt, and many of
them would not hesitate to make his
life pay the penalty, without wailing
! for due courso of law.
j The attendance at the funeral yes
torday is said to have been the larg- ;
est outpouring of people ever seen in j
Nelson county at such a giuhorlng, this
Coot indicating somethiug of the high
esteem in which the people of the j
county held the murdered man.
There was, of course, no show of'
excitement at tho funeral, but there
was a suppressed under feeling that
indicated to people from tluj city that.

Hubard, according to Deputy City
Sergeant Johnson, has been as qulot
since ho was admitted to the Jail as
though he ha<j not bean there. He
doos not show sufllclent nervousness
to tug at his mustache with his An?
gers. Ho is morose, and appears as
though he docs not uaro to bo bothered.
When spoken to the man appears to
be in something like a dazed condition,
though when aroused toy a littlo in?
terrogatory prodding he pulls himself
togctherttan? shows un astuteness that
cannot help but excite the admiration
of a newspaper man of long e\V?
rionco.
Hubard has nothing to say unless
a direct question is put to him, and
when he answers. It is only after It J
has been well woighed In his mind
before ho talks. He certainly thinks
twice before ho speaks, or else the |
thinking portion of his mind is un?
usually alow in getting into action.
Colonel Jam us D. Hubard. father of
Ben Hubard, visited him to-day at the |
city jail, spending a shoit time with I
him. He brought his son his clothes.
Colonel Hubard spent only a short
time here, getting out of the city be?
fore It was known he was here. Dr
Tunstall, of Nelson county, also visit?
ed Hubard to-day, but was not per?
mitted by City Sergeant Johnson to
discuss the case with the prisoner.
Further than to tell his age and
the number of children he lias at home
and their uges and to answer a few
questions as to his comfort, and un
'incidental reference to the Thaw case,
Hubard has made no statements to
newspaper men here.
