sible to work at midday. The heat
has caused numerous fires from spon-
taneous combustion, and the houses are
so baked during the day that in the
worst section the residents sleep in

British Sailors Captured by the Forces

Tangier, Feb. 1.-The British steamer
Tourmalin. 1t Is officially announced,
while attempting. to land arms and
stores on the Sus coast Of Morocco, was
Intercepted by the sherifian steamer
Hassani, whereupon she opened fire.
The Hassani reciprocated and captured
one of the ships boats, with four En-
glishmen. The Moorish troops then de-
molished the villages favorable to for
eigners, killing numbers of the inhab-
itants.
The difficulty appears to have arisen
from the operations of British min
ing company. the Globe Venture,
syndicate acting under treaty where
by the sus chiefs granted trading and
mining monopoly over 100000 square
miles of the Sus district.
A dispatch from Mogador. Morocco,
says that an expedition having occu-
pied Erkzes presumably on the Sus
coasD with the assistance of rebel
tribesmen. the sultan's troops attacked
and defeated 1t after severe fighting,
capturing four Englishmen. Still an
other dispatch says the government of
Morocco has arrested five members of
the Globe Venture syndicate on a
charge of unlawful trading.
