A despatch received over Messrs. Waghorn, Gwymi privaio grain wire states that the Italian fleet has sailed under sealed orders.

According to the Associated Press, London regards the probability of an outbreak between the two countries as of the utmost gravity, it in understood that the ultimatum of Italy expired at 10 o'clock lat night. The despatch continues: It is reported that the Italian ambassador at Constantinople had received orders to leave the Turkish capital at 6 o'clock on Saturday nighi with his staff, and to turn over his office to the ambassador of the States. If true, the affair has gone much further than statements by either government has indicated. There i little doubt but that Italy, if Turkey will not accede fully to her stipulation. will at once proceed to take forcible actions.

Diplomats in London say that a rupture of lelation.s between Rome and Constantinople is certain, and that the utmost efforts of Germany will be necessary to avert this. It i3 known that Berlin is much concerned by the obstinacy of th Turkish cabinet in provoking Italy. Diplomats in London profess to be unable to understand Turkey's attitude. The trend of sentiment in Italy is clearly shown by the pre mobil ization orders.
