Marines Landed at Tangler.

Washington. American marines
have landed in Africa. Admiral Chad
wick has cabled the navy department
from Tangier as follows:
81 have placed a guard at the Bel
gian legation, having been asked to
10 so by our consul-general here"
1t Is said at the state department
hat there Is ample precedent for the
employment of American naval force
.or the temporary protection of the
exposed interests Of another party
which has no availoble force at hand.
1t is stated that Admiral Chadwick
n landing his marines in Africa for
he first time in half a century was
out meeting the requirement of inter-
national comfy. 1t is supposed that
he Belgian legation is an outlying
section of the city easily accessible

The state department has received
unofficial assurance through United
States Consul Gummere who had 1t
rom the British consul at Fee. that
he Sultan of Morocco will accede to
Ill of Raisuli's terms for the release

The bandits demand that Great Brit
ain and the United States shall guar
,ntee the execution of the sultan's
promises, however, is the sticking
point and this probably can be gotten
around only by the acceptance of this
obligation by Great Britain or France.

Before the special train left Victor

was reported that the miners in the
hills about Dunnville numbered about
25O men and that it was their inten-

train had come to stop they were
greeted with volley of shots which
came from points of vantage surround
ing the hills.
The deputies returned the fire and
promiscuous shooting was engaged in
for a period of 10 minutes.
From the character of the shooting
from the hills Gen. Bell Immediately
recognized the fact that the strength
Of the miners had been greatly over
estimated and that he had sufficient
force under his command to make an
immediate roundup and capture the
entire opposing force.
Accordingly he divided the deputies
and soldiers into seven detachments
and these set out to make complete
cleanup of all the surrounding hills
A second battle took place when
seven soldiers sent on horseback to
Big Hills, two miles east of Victor, to
arrest union miners, found them in
trenched.
The men refused to surrender and
the soldiers opened fire. Over 200
shots were fired.
The miners opened fire on the SOL
diers as soon as they saw them coming
up the hill. No one was wounded.
Seven men were captured by the
guards and taken Cripple Creek. In

Polly away, much to the regret OF my

elapsed, however, before he returned
