BANDITS DEMANDS INSoLENT.
Demand Absolute Immunity From Pur.
suit or Punishment.

The kidnapers of Perdicaris and his
step-son, Marley, in Morocco, have sub
mitted their terms for ransom, and
the state department has decided that
they are absolutely impossible of &C.
ceptance.
A long cablegram from Consul Gen
eral Gummere was received by Secre-
tary Hay. The consul states, in sub
stance, that the bandit who kidnapped
Perdicaris and Varley, had been heard
from and made a set of demands which
the British minister and Mr.. Cum
mere had deemed it their duty to lay
before their government. Razouili, the
kidnaper, demanded that the Moorish
forces should be withdrawn from the
district in which his band operated,
leaving them in control. He asked a
large money ransom to be collected
from the governor of Tangier and Fee,
who happen to be bitter enemies.
He further demanded absolute i'm
munity for himself and his followers
from pursuit or punishment for the
kidnapping and other crimes they had
committed in the past. To cap the
climax Of his demands, Razouili in
sisted that the United States and Eng
land should solemnly guarantee the
observance by the Moorish govern
ment of the foregoing stipuations.
Secretary Hay had conference with
the president, and it was agreed that
Razouili's terms could not be met. To
grant them would be equivalent to
forcing the sutton of Morocco to abdi-
cate in favor of a brigand so far as
considerable part of Moorish ter
ritory was concerned. Moreover, the
United States could not, without es-
tablshing new and dangerous prece-
dent, undertake to guarantee the acts
is in doubt.
Admiral Chadwick will be at Tangier
soon on the Brooklyn, to be followed
in the course of day or two by the
remainder of his fleet. AS the utmost
confidence is reposed in the discretion
and judgment of the admiral, Lue pres
ent disposition is to leave him a free
hand to deal with this case in coop
GRAFTON with Consul Gummere.
1t is reported that the French gov
ernment, which, under its recent trea-
ties with Great Britain, has acquired a
dominating interest in Morocco, may
naturally be rather nervous over any
foreign influence in the affairs of that
country, and this fact, it is suggested
may lead to the exercise by the French
government of some effective influence
in the direction of securing Perdicaris
release, which will obviate any hostile
move by Admiral Chadwick.
