convey the American embassy to Mazagan
in connection with the settlement of the
United States claims against Morocco, ar
rived here today.
Admiral Rodgers Cables the Depart

Admiral Rodgers, on board the New

morning of his arrival at Tangier He is
under orders to take aboard there United
States Consul General Gummere and con-
vey him to Mazargan. There the consul
general is to land and proceed overland to
Morocco City to confer with the sultan re-
garding the settlement OF some claims
against Morocco and to obtain an apology
for an alleged discourtesy toward himself
on the part Of the grand vizier and the
minister for foreign affairs. It is, however,
probable that the visit may become un-
necessary at this time through the acoui-
escence Of the Moorish government in our
demands. No less than three European
governments, namely. Great Britain, italy
and Germany, in recent years have been
obliged to resort to measures similar TO
those contemplated by the United States
government to secure the collection of in
IDENTITIES and claims of various kinds from

THE NATURAL GAS OF EUROPE.

When natural gas is mentioned in this country
IT Is generally understood to mean such as IS
found and used for heating and manufacturing
purposes in coal and petroleum regions In Europe.
however the only natural gases known are the
suphuric gas about the regions of Vesuvius and
IEtna, and the carbonic acid gas in the extinct
volcanic region along the German Rhine. In order
to become acquainted with these various gases one
has to visit the districts in which they abound
except in the case of the natural carbonic acid
gas with which millions all over the globe are
now acquainted. because of the wide distribution
of Apofnars water. bottled at the ApollinariS
Spring which Is very rich in its own natural car
bonic acid gas Scientists say that this natural
gas besides rendering the ApollnartS refreshing,
preserves it's purity Germany is proud Of its natu,

springs make much of it's valuable region IN the
