THE BANDIT IS NOTIFIED

The Moroccan government Will in all
probability accede to the further de-
mands of the bandit Raisuli. thus insur-
ing the early release of Perdicaris and
Varley.
This Information came 10 the State
Department today in cableSram from
Consul General Gummere, at Tangier,
which reads as follows:
AS reported yesterday, Raisuli has
increased his demands. Am informed
today by the minister Of foreign affairs
that one Sheik and his two brothers
have been arrested. Their apprehension
was demanded by Raisuli.
"A courier has been sent today to
Raisuli by the government 30 assure
him that his further demands viii prob
ably be granted. If the captives are re-
leased"
Captives Not in Danger.
Although the State Department Is con-
vlnced that Perdicaris and Varley are
In no immediate danger, and that, IN
fact, their preservation is the most val
liable asset Raisull has, Il is admitted
that violence toward them, or even their
execution by the Moroccan bandits.
would greatly simplify the situation. 50
far as the United States is concerned
Raisuli evidently realizes that 80 long
as he can keep the nations most con-
cerned worried about the lives and well
being OF his captives. just 30 long nc
may continue to increase his eXtOrtions
and with a Fair show OF their fulfill
ment.

factor of the veXatiOus problem would
be eliminated. The United States would
then be able to deal direct tsita the

or prove diiatory in complying with

Meanwhile RaisuH clings to the idea
that foreign countries, the United States.
Great Britain, and France, should guar
antee the realization Of his political de-
mands. This is an impossibility, so far
as this country is involved. and from
the information received from abroad
by the State Department, Great Britain
takes about the same position.
Even were II possible for the United
States to become involved I'm European

in other words. II reserves its right

or Raisuli after the two captives shall
have been rescued.
The demands &C Raisuli are, I'm brief,
as follows: The dismissal of the gov

northern army; the payment of G11,J,J
ransom: the release of all tribesmen;
