GENERAL NEWS.

MILAN, ITALY—Both the British and German ambassadors had a long interview with the minister of foreign affairs, with the view of concluding the conflict between Italy and Turkey. It is said in official quarters that Turkey must abandon the idea of even a threatening demonstration with her squadron, as that would oblige the Italian fleet to keep it under observation. If Turkey desires peace she must definitely renounce what she already lost. If that be done now Italy is prepaied, considering Turkey’s position. to give indemnity. Later Italy would not only refuse to pay indemnity, but would demand it herself. TOKYO—Speculation now centers on what Japan will do if the Pekin government invites her to put down the uprising. At least $50,000 troops would be required to do this. None of the other powers would be able to land such a large body of men in the Chinese empire within a reasonable

time. It is admitted, however, that if Japan should agree to interfere she would alienate south China, which is her best market. It is thought, therefore, that in the final settlement of the troubles in south China, the mikado will fhvor the demands of the present revolutionaries. LONDON AH of the press dispatches from Tripoli must now be mailed to Malta, as the cable is being monopolized by the naval and military authorities of Italy. Practically* no news is being received direct. Word comes that more bloodshed was witnessed at Tripoli. The correspondent of the Telegraph says that a native woman was challenged by a sentry for entering a section of the city to which she was forbidden. She ran away and immediately the sentry fired, killing one person and wounding four others. ;
