Constantinople, Oct. 5. -This city has
been thrown into a tremendous state of
ezcitemdnt by the report that the Tur
kish fleet has been destroyed in rat
naval engagement off Mily lens.
l After iaviog sunk or captured the
Turkish ships the Italians are said to
itaya landed aod seiid the island.
An even greater sensation was caused
by a report that heavy firing had been
heard yesterday north of the Da'd inel
les,j; The Ministry remains absolutely
silent, bat the persistent rumors of
Turkish reverses are having a very bad
effect upon the people.
The Britibb, German and Russian
Ambassadors have been in constant
conferences with the Grand Vizi
er, and are said .to be urging the Porte
to submit to Italy, In the meantime
the Vizor appears utterly helpless. His
efforts to form a Cabinet have thus far
completely failed ahd there is grave
reason to fear that if the political situ
ation is not promptly cettled, serious
international trouble may result
The committee of union and progress
the Young Turks' ornanization, is mak
ing a bitter fight for control and is do
ing all in its power to fan the war spirit
among the people.
Nothing is known here of what has
taken place at Tripoli. It was reported
yesterday from Lmdon that the town
had fallen and that the Italians had
landed, but another report this morn
ing denied this.
