Constantinople, July 19. The Ital

through the Dardanelles early today,
They were fired on by Turkish forts
on both sides which discovered the
fleet by searchlights. It U reported
that two Italian ships were sunk and
others damaged., by the cannonade.
Tbe Italians fled to the open waters
of the Aegean sea, -
The vigilance of the Turkish forts
prevented a passage. Cannon on both
the European and Asiatic sides broke
into a furious roar when, at 2 o'clock,
the lookout detected the Italian ships.
Had the Italians succeeded in pas
sing through the Dardanells, abso
lutely every Turkish warship in tbe
