PARTS, Aug. 19. it waa learned In official quarters today that the action of Russia In ordering a naval squadron to Turkish waters may be speedily followed by an Im portant Joint naval action on the part of the power. Communications are at pres- ent being exchanged between the powers relative to a Joint naval' demonstration be fore Salcnlca. The Anal determination will depend largely on Russia, but If a Joint demonstration shall be determined on, the fleets of France and Austria will certainly co-operate and It la probable that the fleets of all the European power having Turkish Interests, exoept possibly Germany, which throughout baa not favored taking ener getic steps against Turkey, will take part In the demonstration. In I ha meantime the Russian squadron will not proceed to Constantinople, a has been reported, but will rendesvou about the mall port of the vilayet of Adrlanopla at the entrance of the Bosphorus. For the present this squadron ha no order to as sume an aggressive course. This action will depend on Turkey' fulfillment of the term of Itusola' final demands In connec tlon with the assassination of Consul Rost kvoski. The punishment of a number of the par ties Implicated I not considered to be full compliance with the term of the demands, which Include an adequate Indemnity. Be sides tho' Rostkvoskl Incident, the proposed naval action before Balonlca I due to the earnest solicitation of the foreign consuls at Balonlca, who set forth that their Uvea are In danger.

Rostkvoskl Is giving such, empharls to the statements of the consuls that consideration of a Joint naval demonstration of sufficient strength to Impress Turkey with the necessity for taking decisive action looking to the main tenance of order In Macedonia I now In progress. The ' exchange of communication has shown that Russia and Austria continue to co-operate fully In the action taken toward Turkey. .Italy May Become) Involved. ROME, Aug. No other power Is in a better position than Italy to quickly send a fleet to Turkey. In fact, Italy may be almost - cumildored as already having a war ahip on the spot, as the torpedo boat destroyer Minerva Is off the Island of Lemmons, In the Aegean sea, a few hours ailing from Balonlca, and the battleship Reumberto, which is at Agosta, Slleala, can reach Ottoman wateM In about forty hours. The Italian Mediterranean squadron, now off Cagllrt, Island of Sardinia, has been ordered to Blclly. so as to be nearer the scene of the trouble tn the controversy. The Italian ambassador at Constantinople haa cabled the Foregn office saying the ports haa declared It will be able to re-establish crder in Macedonia and, hasecured effective protection for all the foreign con suls there.

The weather bureau's special bulletin for the yacht race tomorrow predicts a breese of from t to 9 knot an hour. NEW TORK, Aug. 19. Over the ocean race course outside of Bandy Hook Sir Thomas Llpton'a third challenger, Sham rock III, will tomorrow try conclusions with Reliance, the new defender of Amer ica's cup. It la expected that one of the largest crowds which ever witnessed an International- cup race will go out to see the Initial contest for the blue ribbon of the sea. Again this year aa in the two preceding erlea the government will police the route with revenue cutters, and the most strin gent rules have been laid down to prevent Interference with - the single sticker. Like greyhounds In leash, the racers are moored tonight inside Bandy Hook ready for the fray tomorrow. Both yachts were given their final trial spins today. Shamrock III. waa remeasured today, th result showing that Reliance will have to give It one minute and fifty-five seconds time allowance. Give Odds on Reliance. Despite the time allowance which the de fender must concede to the challenger, the friends of Reliance are extremely confident that Sir Thomas Is again doomed to de feat, the confidence In the American boat being reflected In the betting at 2 to 1 on Reliance. The friends of the British boat on the other hand express the greatest faith. In neither of his previous attempts to carry off the precious mug did BIr Thomas sail on a challenger. Tonight he waa in doubt whether to do so tomorrow or not. His friends on Erin urged him not to do so for fear of an accident. According to the rules th first race will be fifteen nautical mile to windward or leeward and return, depending on the direction of the wind. After that tha races will be over a triangular course ten mile to the leg. Th next race will be sailed on Saturday and the third next Tuesday, and thereafter every other day until the series Is completed. Tho winner of three out of Ave will take th cup.' If th course la not covered within - th time allowance, five and one-half hour. It Is no race. The weather predictions for tomorrow Is not alluring, the forecaster, promising a breeie of from S to knot. A 7-knot breese will be necessary to carry tha boats over the course In the allotted time. . . Yacht Sail la Company. For the first time the challenger and de fender today sailed in company off Bandy Hook, whan both, were taken out for final trial spina Except when passing -In oppo site, directions th .two yacht .war never nearer than three mile to each other, so" ther was no opportunity, to compare them, though some thought Shamrock III heeled a little more and aeemed to carry a larger stern wave. Reliance was first to get away from Ita moorings within the Horseshoe and passed out by the point of tha Hook at 10 ft. m. There was a fine ten-knot breese from th south southeast, and saying close hauled It went out through the main ship channel and Gedney's channel to the Bandy Hook lightship, about eight mile, at a fast pace. Shamrock III left Sandy Hook fifteen minute later and followed the defender out through the channel to the lightship. Both carried all lower sail and dub top sail. Reliance turned at the lightship and ran back toward .the channel, meeting Shamrock. Ill on the way out. The two yachts passed each other at a distance of a mile. Shamrock III proceeded aa far as the lightship, hove to akd awaited the ar rival of the Oceanic, bound In, and then followed the big liner In under main Bail and Jib. The earl and countesa of Bhaftes berry, the latter the sponsor for Shamrock III at Its launching, were on board Oce anic, and as tha steamer passed the crew of Shamrock cheered the countess. Both the yachts returned to their moor Inga at Bandy Hook after having been ab sent an hour and a quarter. For the re mainder of the day both boat swung to their moorings while their crews over hauled their sails and got everything In readiness. Sir Thomas Lipton's steam yacht Erin came up the harbor In the afternoon to receive the earl and countess of Bhaftes berry and others of BIr Thomas' guests. C. Oliver Iselln and hi adviser passed the night on board Reliance's tender. Bun beam, at anchor near Reliance. Sir Thomas Scents Victory, When asked for a prophesy of th result of tomorrow's race, Sir Thomas said: I am more confident of winning than ever and my confidence is shared by every man of the fleet and other admirers of Sham rock III. Designer Fife is thoroughly satisfied with the tuning up that ftham- rock III haa received and Captain Wrings is connaenc Sir Thomas added Jokingly: Shamrock III will win the first race either six or seven minutes. Ira not oulte certain which; the second race by four minutes and a half. You will have to ask me about tne tmra later. In reply to a question whether there waa any basis for suspicion that th chal lenger had not been permitted to show It peed In the trials with Shamrock I, BIr Thomas said: There never was an'y Jockeying. I do not consider it an honest way of settlna doodI to bet their money. Except in a few cases wnen air. rue lias wanted to sail alongsldi of Shamrock I. we have alwava itnne h best we could and I have always wanted 10 see ii oo its oesi. A flood of letters, cables and telegrama reached Erin today from all parts of the world, bringing wishes for the success of BIr Thomas and Shamrock III. Ona cams from Lagos, Portugal, from Lord Charles Beresford, saying that all the offloere and men of th channel fleet sent hearty good wishes snd hoped to hear that Shamrock III had won by a length.
