REBELLION IN MOROCCO.

patched to the Scene.
GIBRALTAR, Jan. 2.-Advices received
here from Tangier, the diplomatic
state of affairs in the vicinity of that
city. No explanation is given Of the
trouble, hut it is said that the tribes in
the neig borhood of Tangicr are in
open rebellion rgainst Mulaiel Hassan,
the Sultan of Morocco.
Matters in Morocco have been in a
turbulent condition for some time past.
In November last news reached Tangier
from Fcz, the principal city of the coun-
try and its real capital, that all the
Moroccan Ministers and court had
been dismissed in disgrace. Among
the fallen was Mulai Ismain, the
Sultan's favoritc brother; for sew
liaship of his brother-that
is to say he formed i sort of Supreme
Court of Appeals to whom all cases al
ready decided by the local governors
could be referred. Excepting the Sui
tan and the various heads of the Shcc-
rcfian families, the Kahlifa was the
only man from whom the nobility Of
Morocco thought they could accept
Judgment without derogation.
No reason was known Tor his dis
grace, but it was thought it was the
result Of court intrigue. lie had
many friends among the upper classes
and among the tribcSnen, and it may
bc that his dismissal is tho cause of the
present trouble. 1t was said by
some of the natives ut the time
of his exile fran Fee that Mulai
lsInan was the instigator OF Il plot to
dcpGsc his brother and to take the
throne himself This affords basis
for the conjecture that the rebellion
now in progress in the vicinity of Tan
gier may he an attempt to carry out the
plans of the alleged conspir;ltors
The British authorities are taking
prompt and energetic steps to protect
British interests in Morocco. A Brit sh
gunhoat has already started from Glib
raltar to protect the british residents
at that place, and the battlc ship Thun-
dcrcr is preparing to follow the gun
boat. The Ihundercr is 4 twin screw

The Denver Doctor Declare to be the
Murderer of Wealthy Mrs.

Verdict Comes as Terrible Surprise
to the Doomed Man, Who Ex-

Motion For a New Trial Made-His
tory Of the Sensational
Case,

DENVER, Jan. 2-The arguments in the
Graves murder trial were closed today,
Judge Furman speaking for the defense
and Mr.. Stevens closing for the prosecu-
ton. At p. m. the case was given to
the jury, which soon returned verdict of
guilty, as charged
DR.. Graves was sitting behind his at
torney, Judge Furman, and as the verdict
was read he gave violent start, almost
leaping from his chair. The Precipitation
Instantly started and great drops of sweat
dropped from his forehead He then
covered his face with his hands and was
silent His attorney, Furman, took the
verdict equally as hard and actually shed
tears. The judge asked Furman if he dc,
sired the jury poiled and the latter say,
agely replied
Mol"
But he at once made a motion
for a new trial. When DR.. Graves
was asked what he thought of the
verdict he replied by repeatedly saying
it was shock and surprise to him. In
a short time the bailiff took Graves to a
carriage and he was driven to jail Col.
Ballou and Judge Furman accompanied
him.
Mrs. DR.. Graves and the : doctors
mother were not present in court when
the verdict wus rendered, but after ward
went 10 the Jail TO see the doctor. They
were greatly affected by the news and tn
doctors mother tainted.
The case against DIR. T. L. Graves was
a strange one. Mrs Blrnaby, wealthy
widow, and Mrs Worrell were residents
Of Providence. R. l., and while on visit
to Denver, Col, received from a friend
IN the woods" supposedly DR.. Graves,
who also lived in Providence, bottle
of what he claimed was pure
whiskey. Immediately after partaking
of the contents of tFis b)tttle the two
ladies became deathly sick, Mrs. Barnaby
dying and Mrs. Worrel recovering. An
examination of Mrs. Barnaby's stomach
developed the fact that it contained ar
senic enough to cause the death OF three
persons, as did also the remaining contents
of the bottle Another curious feature in
the case il the fact that Dr.. Graves was
left S25 900 in Mrs. Barnaby's vii.
