He Tells of the Kidnappin1 of Per-
 dicaris and VarIey.
 Washington, May 19.-lrhe State Depart- ment has received the following cable gram from United States Consul Gum mere. dated Tangier today:
 ''Mr. Perdicaris. a prominent American citizen, long a resident of Tangier and rich end well known, and his stepson, Mir. Varley, British subject, were carried off last night from their country house three miles from Tangier, by large band Of native brigands, headed by Fraissouh, the bandit who carried off MT. Harris last year. The Perdicaris house was broken into at half past last evening, while the family were in the drawing room. and the two men carried away.
 MT. Gummere and the British Minis- ter are acting with energy in the mat ter. They have sent a special carrier 70 the court to inform the Sultan's deputy to comply with all requests they make fin this matter and to insist that the terms demanded by Raissuly shall be met in order to obtain the release of the cap- ttves.
 Except for the difference of sex, thc incident respected by MT. Gummere com- pares in some respects with the case or Miss Ellen Stone, who was kidnapped by Bulgarian bandits some time ago The demand made upon the Sultan by Mr. Gummere that he pay the ransom de- manded in this last case is said to be in accordance with Oriental customs Pay- | ment is necessary probably to save the lives of the captives and 1t is not douoted that the Sultan will find some means Afterwards to capture the brigands and recover the sum paid over.
 Acting Secretary Loomis was fin con- sultstion today with Chairman Winslow of the Navigation Bureau respecting ths dispatch of a United States warship 10 Tangier to back up the Consul's demand, There are a number of British warshaps I within few hours sailing, and 1t is un- derstood that as Mir. Gummere is eo-op- | erating with the British Consul there will be no hesitancy on the part of the Brit-
 ish Government in hurrying Briusn
 warship to the scene. Although large fleet of American warshlps is en route to | European waters there is not single war vessel thefe now.

HEAVY RANSOM IS WANTED
SupineneSs of Government
 Adds to the Anxiety.
Uaited states ana British cossuIs at Work to Effect Liberation ef MT. Perdicaris and MT. variey,
 His stepson.

Tangier, Morocco, May 1s.--An Amer ican citizen named Perdicaris, and his step-son, q British subject, were car- ried off by the well known bandit. Fraissouli, and his followers last night. and will doubtless be held for a heavy ransom.
 The captives were staying at Perdl- caris's summer residence. only three miles from Tangier, when the bandits attacked and captured them. Foreign CTS are much excited by this bold raid so near Tangier and attribute it to the supineness of the government in fail- ing to punish the bandits who last year captured Walter B. Harris, the correspondent in Morocco, of The Lon- don Times, and their failure to deal with general lawlessness.
 Fraissouli has notified the French representatives at Tangier that he TO- uuires the removal of the troops from the district and the removal of the Governor of Tangier and the release of a number of imprisoned bandits. When these conditions are compiled with. | Fraissouli will notify Mohammed Fl Torres of the course he proposes to pursue.
 Perdicaris had resided at Tangfer. where he was president of a commits
 sion for a number of years. The bandit | AcdQSE nduQCQ bQ d uOA1CStiC 4 Actt&E

 that functionary of his terms. This letter was transmitted to Mohammed Fl Torres after midnight. It Is under | stood the Moroccan authorities will ac- l cede to all the demands of the brigand chief in order to secure the release of
 the prisoners.
 I Fraissouli. who is already more than twenty hours march from Tangier with | his prisoners, has announced that he | will impose further conditions for their
 release. Perdicariss who is 10 years old. I fs in i'll health.
 | It is affirmed that the British and United States governments have begun
 negotiations with Fraissoun and thai
 they are asking the French govern-
 ment to act for the protection of the
 prisoners.
 European residents expect tha, France will send warships here imme- diately, but as a consequence of the efrervescence of native feeling such q
 step would be likely to endanger Euro peans in the interior of the country.
