CENSORSHIP VERY STRICT Little News of a Reliable Nature Concerning Recent Happenings Per mitted to Leak Through—Repeated Rumors of the Destruction of the Turkish Fleet Denied as Fast as They Appear. London, Oct. 3.—The outstanding feature of the Turko-Italian war news is the attempted mediation of Ger many, the success of which appears more probable in the light of the statement made at the German for eign office that a report that the Ger man ambassador at Constantinople had presented Italian proposals for peace was "premature," indicating that such proposals were expected. A dispatch from Constantinople says that Fethi Pasha, formerly Turkish minister to Servia, has been named commander of the troops mobilizing to defend the coast of the Adriatic. A dispatch from the Island of Cor fu, off the Albanian coast, says two Turkish torpedo boats were sunk and a third captured off Gumenitza by the Italian patrolling fleet. A semi-official statement from Athens says that Greece has been notified by Con stantinople that the Turkish military movements on the frontier are not directed against Greece. It is reported from Malta that a British cruiser received a wireless dispatch saying that Tripoli had been occupied by the Italians. - CENSORSHIP _ ! London, VERY STRICT Little Known of Developments In Turko-Italian War. Oct. 3.—Both the Italian and the Turkish governments are ex ercising a rigid censorship over all news concerning the war and no ab solutely reliable account of the de velopments of the last twenty-four hours has been obtained from any source. Rumors are flying thick, but are be ing officially denied almost as fast as they appear. Several news agencies have telegraphed that the Turkish fleet has been all but wiped out in an engagement near the Dardanelles, but the Ottoman authorities concede the loss of only one vessel, maintaining that the rest of the fleet has reached Constantinople in safety. It is cer tain, however, that there was an en gagement and that the Italian fleet was victorious. So strict is the censorship at Italian ports that all messages are being held, sometimes for as long as twenty four hours, although most of them have no connection whatever with the hostilities. It is certain that Tripoli has been occupied by an Italian detachment, hut whether the occupation was resisted or not is not known. A message from Malta says that the British crui ser Aboukir has received a wireless message to the effect that Tripoli is now being held by the Italians.

ASKS FURTHER DELAY Porte's Reply to Ultimatum From Rome Not Considered Satisfactory. Rome, Sept. 30.—Italy has declared war on Turkey. It declared that the two countries were in a state of war beginning at 2:30 on the afternoon of Friday, Sept. 29. This is the hour at which the Italian ultimatum to Turkey expired and fol lowed a session of the cabinet at which the Turkish reply was consid ered and found unsatisfactory. Though every indication pointed to thia action by the royal government there was always a possibility that the good offices of other governments would be successful in avoiding hos tilities and when the final decision of the cabinet was announced the ex citement throughout the city was in tense. Throughout the earlier hours of the day the papers had issued special edi tions announcing that the Italian fleet was moving in plain sight of the coast of Tripoli and intimating that war might be declared at any moment. Turkey Suggested Delay. The minister of foreign affairs, Sig nor di San Giuliano, received the Turk ish reply from the Turkish ambassa dor during the morning and imme diately went into conference with his associates in the ministry. It is understood the Ottoman gov ernment completely conceded Italy's economic claims in Tripoli, but evaded a direct answer demanded by this gov ernment which had set forth in its ul timatum that Turkey must say that she would not resist the proposed oc cupation of Tripoli and Cyrene. In stead the porte sent a conciliatory note suggesting further delay. It was known that at the same time Turkey transmitted a note to the pow ers in which it is assumed that she represented herself as the injured party and by inference at least, sought their intervention. The royal government decided to stand absolutely by their ultimatum and in the absence of the reply called for to declare Italy and Turkey in a state of war from the hour that the ultimatum of twenty-four hours ex pired. .
