Tangier, Morocco, Sept. 24.-The Uni
ted States cruiser San Francisco, flagship
of the European squadron, which arrived
here on Tuesday last to investigate and OBJ
tain rpdress.if necessary, for the reported
logging Of American citizens ut Moga-
dor. and support the promised settlement
o. former claims of the United States
against Morocco, left this port to-day. 1t
is stated here that if the reported Gains
of the United states are not settled
within a reasonable time ii squadron of
United States war vessels will be sent to
Morocco.
The sultan Of Morocco has sent an army
corps to punish the Rillans for their sew
eral recent acts OF piracy.
Washington, Sept. "a The San Fran
cisco, with Admiral Self ;dge aboard, ar
rived yesterday at Gibraltar from Tan
Sier, and it was stated ut the Navy De
partment that she would probably start
eastward, cruising slowly up the Medi-
terranean until she reached the coast of
Syria. If she had any punitive mission
In view wher she crossed the straits to
Tangier the fact was carefully concealed
ut the Navy Department.
The former claims referred to In the
cable dispatch were based upon the NAL
treatment OF certain native dependents of
an American and their prevention from
dining business Morocco. Under the pro.
visions of the extra territorial law which
governs in such semi barbarous countries
of Africa.and Asia, resident Americans
and Europeans are privileged to take I'M
der the protection of their nationality a
limited nunlber OF native servants, and
this privilege has been construed to per
nit business men to thus engage buyers
and traders in their interest. Some
months ago some OF the clerks of an
American trader in town near Tanger
were set upon, beaten and robbed of their
employers money and goods. This hap
pened directly before the residence OF tae
principal functonary of the place.
Complaint was made to the Moroccan
government by United States Consul
General Burke, but without effect He
thereupon notified the State Department,
and at his instance the United States
steamship Raleigh was sent to Tangier.
The effect upon the sultan was immedi-
ate. He caused the arrest of Moors sup
posed to have been the perpetrators of
the assault. and promised restitution CT
the money lost. The Raleigh afterwards
c~uised along the coast.of Morocco well.to
the eastward, and in his last report &c the
State Department Consul General Burke
stated that her presence had undoubtedly
done much to cause che natives to respect
the United States flag and 10 prevent Il
recurrence of the outrage.
Late yesterday afternoon !, long cable.
gram was dispatched from the Navy De-
partment, and 1t is possible that it con-
tanned instructions to Admiral Selfridge
TO cooperate further with Consul Gene
raj Burke in case he meets with. opposi
ton in his efforts to secure protection for

ton Of the Populist party of Plttslvania
county called to meet at Chatham TODAY
to nominate a legislative ticket, did not

freely made that there will be no Popu-
