No Tripoli Agreement Yet.

New York Times 100 years ago today, September 26, 1912:
Main Issue Between Italy and Turkey Still Undecided.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
    LONDON, Thursday, Sept. 26.— The Times's special correspondent at Ouchy, Switzerland, where the unofficial Turkish-Italian peace negotiations are going on, telegraphed under yesterday's date:
    "This afternoon the Turkish and Italian delegates received me at the Beaurivage Hotel here, where peace negotiations have been proceeding since July 12.
    "I am requested to state that the various reports that have appeared in foreign newspapers with regard to the negotiations are wholly unauthorized. No statement has been given to the press. The negotiations are being conducted in the strictest secrecy. The long reports in the Paris Temps and other newspapers purporting to give the basis of an agreement are pure inventions.
    "The semi-official pourparlers have been proceeding quietly and uninterruptedly, and there has never been any deadlock, but the principal question, namely, Italy's sovereignty over the Tripolitan provinces, has not yet been settled. This once settled, peace is likely soon to be concluded, as the other questions are of quite secondary importance.
    "Consequently, the negotiations might speedily be terminated or might continue indefinitely. As one of the Turkish delegates, Fakhreddin Bey, Turkish Minister at Cettinje, said: 'We are not pessimistic about the result.'
    "I am asked to state that the Khedive's visit to the Beaurivage Hotel on Saturday and Sunday last was purely private and had no connection with the negotiations."
