DISTURBANCES IN Morocco. = Owing
TO the fact that serious disturbances have
broken out at Tetuan, Morocco, Span
ish mail steamer has been dispatched
from Ceuta to embark the European resi-
dents of Tetuan. There has been eonsid-
erable political unrest in Morocco re-
Gently, as well as fears of general rebel
lion and an attempt to restore Mulai-
Mohammed, the Sultan's brother as
Sultan. The rebels against the author
ity of the Sultan consist at present OF
certain Berber tribes. The troubles in
Morocco were accompanied by consider
able Renaissance of anti-foreign feeling,
and fears have been expressed for the
safety of American missionaries at Mex
ines. An English missionary was recent
ly murdered at Fee. A dispatch from
Madrid says that the disturbances at
Tetuan arise from rebellion of the Ka
byle tribesmen having the refusal of the
governor of the Tetuan to liberate certain
Kabyle prisoners, including the murder
er of an Englishman. The tribesmen
are terrorizing the town and its outskirts
and are attacking and selling caravans
between Tetuan and Tangier. 1t is ru-
mored in Madrid that British cruiser
has been ordered to Tetuan to protect
foreigners there.

At the conclusion of Dr. Bristois re-

the President would lay the cornerstone.
The President arose. laid his hat on his

bowed to the bishop and then spoke
briefly. He said:

The press committee will be composed

president. This committee, after the seven
members are named, will have power to
increase its membership by the selec-

The association will solicit the CO.

The plan of operation will be to have
these respective bodies petition their Rep

favorable action.
II is understood at the Capitol that the
Senate is overwhelming in favor of the

of Secretary Root to Congress. The House

days that will carry an appropriation Of

Mr.. Dayton said he was in favor OF

for in the bill. especially as no new
vessels were authorized last year; GER
tainly, he said. there ought to be no

testimony of Admiral Dewey in favor of
these vessels, when he declared that he

boats in Manila Bay.
Mr.. Kitchin argued in favor of building
