He telegraphs regard- ing the Turkish side of the war, and Bays it is certain that after a month and a half of war, after largo ex- penditures and serious losses, the Italians are no farther advanced than on the day following their disembarkation. If the Turkish forces are inferior in numbers to the Italians, they snake up in con- fidence what they lack in numbers. ^'`i• expected to find disorder and discouragement. On the con- trary, everywhere I met order, dis- tipline and contentment. Patient and ready for everything, the Turkish soldiers is accepting all without complaint. If he suffers he knows it is for the Empire of Islam, while the Arab knows that if he dies paradise with Moham- med will be his." The food of the Turkish army is frugal but sufficient. Arris are adequate, many carrying rifles captured from the enemy. The correspondent did not find any dis- sensions among the Arabs and the Turks. The Arabs. whose forces had just been swelled by the fierce, war -loving natives of Misrata, are most enthusiastic, insisting that they should be marched towards Tripoli to recapture it. The correspondent is unable to divulge the numbers or plans of de- fence and offence of the Turks, merely saying, that their - foreign military attaches must have made helpful observations. .

If there are under twenty empty cans the railway will unload these; if there are under forty the shipper must supply one man ,to aid; if there are over forty the shipper must supply two. If any train is delayed over thirty steamship Shiu on the West River, killed the chief officer and cut off the legs of two of the Chinese pas- sengers, and then- looted the ves- sel.
