T UIRJPORTS Impossible to Sift Grains of Troth At This Stage TURKS MAKE NEW APPEAL W ni Ask Powers to Intercede and Slop War Report tbst Uermaay and Asstrla Hare Made Inofficial Rep. resentailoBs to Italy-Turkey 'ot Prepared. London, Oct. 1. Out of a perfect maxe of conflicting reports and ru mora it is utterly lmnosibl -r thi -tage to sift tae grains of truth con cerning the openlug days of the Tur-co-Italian war. It appears even doubt ful where thre haa been any actual occupation of Tripoli, and It is prac tically certain that there haa been no bombardment by the Italian warships. u seems also certain that the re ported destruction of the Turkish fleet Is untrue. Iu fact, the onlv result nt the first three daya hostilities which can be vouched for is the dtctructlon of the Turkish destroyers by the Duke of Abruxzi'a ships off Prevesa. The Tripoli cable Is closely watched and it is impossible for the outside world to know what is going oa there. The Ottoman aovernment rlearlr ia not ia a hurry and the most significant news of the day ia the decision of the Turkish council again to appeal to the powers, and in the meantime to sus pend offensive measures. Thla new appeal had not reached the British government and there is nothing to in. dlcate that the attitude of tbe powers haa undergone any change. Accord ing to the Daily Telezranh'a Roma correspondent, however, Germany and Austria nave already made unofficial representations to Italy of their dis pleasure at her procedure, and that if these representations are ignored they Will be followed . In another . mhtna "humiliating to Italy." According to information from din. lomatla siurces. the iandlnz of th Italians at Prevesaa is greatly resent ed by Austria and Germany and had much to do With their renorted rhn of attitude towards Italy.
