the' cause for which it was secured,
won Id draw a large patronage.
The results are as follows: 256 per
sons attended thecnnre;t, including 28
school children at 25c esch.
Received from sale of tickets $123.50

Constantinople, Nov. 2 General Can
eva, commanding the Italian army in
Tripoli, has been -. eaptu el by the
Turks, according to an official report
given out st the War Ministry. Con
siderable doubt is ex pre ed in foreign
diplomatic circles here as to the state
ment's accuracy.
The capture was effected, it is added,
during a desperate fight between Turks
and Arabs on one aids and Italians on
the other, in the streets in the outskirts
of Tripoli Official dispatches gave as
surance, the War Ministry announces,
that the Turks are steadily pushing the
Italians back toward the coast, and con
fidence is expressed that they will be
forced either to surrender or take to
their; boats soon.
, War Minister Chefkey Pasha is him
elf authority for the announcement
that the Turks captured five more foris
at Tripoli after three hours of hard
fighting, which ended much in the
Turks favor, despite the fact that the
Italians were assisted by a fire from
their torpedo boats off shore. The Ital
ians are being reinfored daily, the War
Minis' t r says, but to offset this Arabs
from the deep intei i r are flocking to
the Turkish standard.
