ITALY JUBILANT OVER VICTORIES

Tripoli Captured without Damage to Her Warships. CRUISER CHESTER ARRIVES Bome of United States Tars Sorry They Could Not Participate in Battle—American Criticism Displeases Italians. Paris, Oct. 6. The Italians, who are jubilant over the capture of Tripoli without damage tcc-limb or warships, are displeased by the cAticisms of American papers upon Italy’s acts. Tripoli is deserted, as the Turks and the Arabs have scooted to be interior. , The United States scout cruiser Chester is at Tripoli and some of the men aboard are sorrowful because they were not allowed to participate in the city’s fall. London, Oct 6. —-The little war news is practically confined to the activities of reparation by Italy for the occupation of Tripoli and to further dispatches anent the bombardment of Tripoli. These dispatches, as all news to date has been, are contradictory. V Expert commentators here are inclined to wonder at the bombardment, unless it was merely intended as a demonstration which might possibly bring Turkey to terms at qnce. Otherwise the action of the fleet in not having the co-operation of troops is criticised as likely to prolong the next stage of the campaign. Had the bombardment been supported by troops on either side of the city it might have led to the cutting off of the garrison in the rear. Now they have practically been allowed to concentrate with the Arabs behind the town In the meantime Tripoli has not formally surrendered, though the "port is defenseless. Little’credit is attached to the reports from various sources, all of which are unofficial, of naval engagements and bombardments of Mitylene, Prevesa, Derna, Bengali and other places, especially in the b&;rdanelle&.
