TANGIrEs. Feb. i.-rhe Morocco Times
today prints a continuation of its stories
about ex- United States Consul VIM. Reed

Moor who purchased the protection If the
American consulate and not being able 10
pay down the price demanded, gave notes
on his property with The understanding that
he was to have five years time in which 10
pay them. Within month after giving
the notes he was summoned 10 Tangiers
and told he must pay or go TO jail, and two
days later he WIS imprisoned and NIL
his property sold. His brothers succeeded
in raising money to get him out of prison
by morigaging the family property 20 the
Jews. Now they are in worse difficulty
than ever. The Jews demand the money
and threaten TO take all the property and
put all three brothers in prison until the
whole debt is paid. together with all the cx-
penscs. The Morocco Times saws the only
thing TO be done 20 save this unfortunate
family from ruin and death is for the
United States government TO settle the
claims of the Jews nnd pay all the expenses
in the matter. They had no manner of
righi In send "A representative here and
maintain him iu position 10 swindlc.
The people who took the unfortunate
Moor 10 United States Consul Lewis and

Abraham Anselm. The latter is the same
who shortly after the incident mentioned
above WIS ilogged hy order of Consul bewis
