SI. Italy has seised and occupied the Turkish Islaads of Rhodes and Lesbos, according to dis patches received here from lit lan. This is highly offensive to Austria. Vienna, Oct 31. The outlook in Italy Is alarming to-day. King Victor's forces in Tripoli are threatened with worse than the dis aster which has already overtaken them. There Is danger of a clash with Austria. An anti-militarist and anti-monarchist uprising ls immi nent. African news ls still meagre owing to the Italian control of the cables.. but It seems certain that the Turks have re-occupied the outskirts of the city of Tripoli and are likely to drive the Italians out entirely. Think Italians Lost 5,000 Killed, Reports' that the Italians lost 5,000 killed and had 7.000 taken prisenera are accepted here as true. Should the Turks recapture Tri poli they can hardly be blamed If a slaughter of Italians follows after the brutality of the Italian massacre of the Arabs men, women and chil dren Inside the city Just before the Turkish attack began.

Va native population was practically wiped but under the pretense that they might attack the Italians from the rear while the letter were en gaged with the Turks. The shooting of Colonel Btroppa by Private Gaetano Masetti as the Twenty-fifth Infantry was leaving Bologna for Tripoli yesterday was not an isolated act of mutiny. Near ly all the troops on their way to the scene of hostlltles are rebellious and the utmost difficulty is experienced by their officers in handling them. Official dispatches say his comrades wanted to, lynch Masetti. The truth Is that wide-spread sympathy is felt for him. What especially concerns Austria Is the Italian Cabinet's decision to carry out a big naval demonstration In Turkish waters in defiance of Aus tria's warning that Italian activities must be confined to Africa. The Impression In official circles here Is that the Italian Government has lost lis head and that the gravest consequences may result from its present outbreak of irrationality. The rfdfenlons eua of th Italian vic tories at the beginning of the Tri- polltan campaign Is attributed to the fact that the Turks were taken whol ly by surprise. It is believed they are ready now to put up a desperate fight : , Turks Capture Two More Forts. Constantinople. Oct 31.
