and secures contract for coupling
his house, barn and buildings with

Later another agent comes along to
'stake measurements, as re Gays,

Mulai Mohammed Wins.

Tangier, MISUNDERSTANDING to Of
fetal news received here from Fee,
the adroit move of the sultan in bring
ing his brother. Mulai Mohammed, TO
the capital, has attained the desired
object of depriving the pretender TO
the throne of his prestige, and the lat
ter has retired, discredited, to Lasa.
He has been deserted by a number of
the local tribes, who dispersed to make
sure of their booty. Buhammara, the
pretender, having claimed the inten-
ton of enthroning Mulai Mohammed,
his rebellion has no longer any reason
to continue, as the sultan has publicly
reconciled himself with his brother,
and Mulai Mohammed has made sol
emn entry into Fee, acclaimed by the
populace.
The sultan has announced the ap
pointment of Mulai Mohammed as gov.
ernor of the province of Fee, thus dis,
proving the rumors that Mulai Mo
manned aspired to the throne. When
this has been done, according to the
official authority for these statements
the tribes around Fee swore fidelity to
the sultan and denounced Buhammara
as an impostor, whom they would pre-.
vent from coming to Fee.
All immediate danger has disappear.
ed. The routes from Fee to the coast
are open. 1t is said the sultan is now
preparing a large expedition with the
intention of crushing the rebellion.

RECONCILIATION POSSIBLE.
Between Crown Princess of Saxony
and Her Husband.

Vienna, Jan. 5.-Reports have been
received here from sources closely con-
nected with the court of Saxony of a
possible reconciliation between the
crown princess of Saxony and her
husband. The family of the crown
prince are especially concerned with
the future of the princess unborn
child, desiring its birth to occur I'M
der conditions permitting of proper
identification and to prevent possible
substitution, which, it is supposed the
princess might attempt if the crown
princess family attempted to claim
the child. The crown prince is report
ed as even now unwilling to abandon
the belief that the unborn child may
be his own.
While King George angrily insists
that his sons faithless wife be cast
adrift, it is understood that the crown
prince places no obstacles in the way
of a reconciliation should his wife be
willing to come back. 1t is naturally
to be understood, according to report,
that it is impossible to permit the
princess to return to SaXony and be-
come queen, but the suggestion is
made that she reside in retirement
near the frontier, where she could
see her children occasionally.
No effort will be made to negotiate
with M. Giron, who is regarded as a
raw student, but it is thought that the
princess might be induced to accept
the foregoing proposals on account of
her love for her children.
