Italy to Get Sam; Treat - men tas Other Nations Postoffice Question the Cause of the Trouble. •••••••••.. Rome, April 20. -e -An Italian squad- ron, inner einumand of Admiral E. Grenet, will set sail probably toeley for the purposse of making a demonstration 11 Tnrkish watere, The squadron cone prises eleven warships, and includes the battleehips Regina Elena, cimenanded by the Duke of the Abruz4. Altogether the vessels will carry 5,095 men, and their objective point will be Asie nlinor, sonic ,seven hundred, miles away. It, has been decided, if it is deemed ileceseary, • else • to oecupy a small Wand, of that coest, bet it is hoped Imre that Turkey nuey eee the error of bee way and give full eataction, so that more eneegetie maestros may be avoided, The difficulty between the two na- tions arises out of the refusal of the Turkish Government to permit Italian' postoffices to be conductea in Turkish territory, while at the same time other foreign nations have establiehed and are conducting postoffices there with- out interference. Considerable irritetion has beim felt here also (wee the murder ot ae Italian missionary in Tripoli and the persecetion by the Ottoman authorities of natives who have oold Lend to Italians, but the present action .of the Italian Govern - 18 based primarily on the postof- flee question. With regard to this, how- ever, the Turkish Ambassador in Rome has pointed. out in an interview that his Government has in na instanee grant- ed to the coimtries in gnestion sueh privileges, although it has "tolerated" the postoffices which they have main- tained. For years it has been felt in Gov- ernineet eirele,s in Rome that Turkey has been taking advantage of the in- ternational situation to net in e high- handed manner towards Italians, show- ing butelittle respect for Italian rights, This Government, it is stated,„has been indulgent, met wishing to cause com- plications which might endanger the accord of the powers ivith regard to the Ottoman or the Baikal:. problems. In addition there has :icon much op- position ou the part of Turkey to all peaceful Italian initiative in Tripoli. Apparently Turkey come to the con- clusion that the Italian Government would never resort to extreme meas- ures, in view of the fact that the Mace- donian problem is pending, for the een Cement- of which the eccordeof the powers is indispensable, and she went so far as to order detinitimente of troops to guard. the Italian postoffices, and thus prevent the work from being carried on. To this provocation the Italian Ad - Ministration felt that it could only re- ply with coercive measures in order to protect the digeity of Italy and safeguard her rights. In issuing or- ders for a .demonstration of Italian warships in Turkish waters Italy de- sired eleaely to show that she did not wish to take advantage of ine situation Lor the purpose of occopyieg any terri- tory. Great satisfaetion is felt here, and it is, stated. that all the powers have ap- proved Italy's decision - to take re- course to force, if neceesary, to pro - tett her interests, which is an indica- tion that they believe Italy has no he tention of permanent territorial mime, tem, TROUBLE SETTLED. Italy Will Not Now Sena Squardon to 'Turkish 'Waters. London, April 20.-A despateh received here from Rome says orders have been issued countermanding the sending of an Italian squadron to Turkish waters for the purpose of coercing the Sultan into granting Italy certain privileges in Turkish territory'. The Turkish Ambassador to Rome, Moustapha Be1iid, gave Foreign Minis:. tee Tittoni satisfactory assurances that Italy would be accorded the Same treat - meet with regard to postofficcs as that enjoyed by the other powers. The For- eign Minister expressed his satisfaction at this equitable settleinent, and there- upon countermanded the orders for the eaval demonstration. NEW )APCONSUL.

Description of Moir and Officers in Pursuit pf Piot, London, Apr rite shooting of Color -Sergeant Lloyd, of .the 08th Reg. intent, Stratford, by Private Moir about midnight Friday at Weisel* Barracks, seems to have been A Most cold-blooded affair,. It appears that Moir was not ad- dicted to the drug habit in any form, and, while ho may have, been slightly under the influeace of liquor, he has always been known to have a wok , and hasty temper, and u ss, from re- ports, of it quarrelsome disposition, For a ,long time no clus as to the hunted man.. was found until Po1io- xnau and Sergeant Gilmore, ,af the R. C. I., picked up. about forty rounds of ammunition ni um com- mons, whieh showed that Moir had fled through, the eaetern gate and dropped, paet of Ills ammunition when he ren. All flOough the night the search, was continued, but the most nervous strain on the entire barracks was greatly relieved when it was learned that the desperate man was in, the open country instead_ of skulk- ing in, or around the barracks with two fire arms and plenty of ammuni- tion in his possession. Was With Moir. Sergi., Carter, who accompanied Moir down town and back on :Friday night, when interviewed, had very little to offer in reference to the crime, "Moir and / went down town. Fri- day night," he said, "and we had few drinks. "About 11.30 lye caught it ear at the corner of Dundas and Richmond street, and came back to the bars raoks. "I left lVlois at the guard room and went across to my quarters, where I partially undressed, and was engaged in making up my bed when I heard a shot fired. "Hastily donning my clothes I made ray way outside andelooked around the grounds, but, could see nothing. "Then, thinking the report I had neard was merely the result o:f some- sne kicking ono of the asTi barrels around the place, 1 went inside 'again. Later, of course, I heard the commo- tion made by .those making their way to the hospital, and thou learned ef the murder." "Was Moir intoxicated?"' was ask- ed. "Well, in military life a man must be either sober or drunk," was the eon -committal reply. "I would not ,care to say whether Moir wan drunk, but I can say that he woe not entirely sober," Sergt. Carter stated that so far as he knew there had never been any hard feelings between Moir and Lloyd. Who Moir Was.

His first finger on left hand is minus about one ineteflis facial expresaioe is that of a man of cunning, and showed an excitable temperament, end a pointed remarkeewould always fetch a display of anger. It is claimed that Moir has been vowing threats of vengeance on some of Ids companimis, and always imagined he had it .gTievance. It is just a few weeks ago that he oointed a gun at a comrade who crossed his temper when he was intoxicated. The comrade at whom he pointed the gun made a dash for refuge, and hid behind the large Chimney on the square. The officers can advance no reason for the terrible deed of ,nfoir, except that he was drunk, and his ungovernable temper gieve wave with the, tragic result. .was probeble that Lloyd's good nature and accommodating manlier to render a service -to a comrade that lost him les life. Instead of Lloyd being on duty Friday night, 'Sint.
