FOREIGNERS WELCOME
THE AMERICAN FLEET.

Ahey are Glad the Warshtps Are at
Tangier.
London, June 6-The Times corre-
spondent at Tangier, under date of
June 5, saws:
"The Sultan's authorization to COM
ply with Raisuli's demands cannot be
received for a day or two. If the Sui
tan fully acquiesces in the demands
the release of the captives may be
expected shortly, but that by no means
settles the situation, for, having twice
succeeded in defying Europe and the
Sultan, Raisuli's success will tempt
the tribesmen to further outrages.
The presence of the American fleet
affords temporary feeling of secur-
ity, but the moment the fleet is with
drawn, unless some permanent form
of protection is substituted, the dam
ger will become greater than ever.

grateful to the Americans for having
promptly sent warships. Full conf
dence is felt that the American gov
ernment. will not withdraw until some
guarantee shall have been given that

Union soldiers and numbers of officers
of the United States army and the G.
A. r. the first formal memorial exer-
cises ever held over the graves in the
Confederate section of Arlington Gem
etery were held to-day.
AS the result of movement initiated
by the late President Mckinley the
Confederate dead now have been gath
cred in one large and beautiful circle
in the southern part of the cemetery,
where the graves have been marked
with separate stones. When the vast
crowd had gathered to hold the me-
mortal services over the graves of the
Confederate dead, the exercises were
opened with music by the Fifteenth
Cavalry Band.
In a spirit of good will and fraternity
after the exercises over the graves of
the Confederate dead, those in charge
of the exercises repeated them over the
graves of the 1000 unknown Union SOL
dier dead at Arlington and decorated
the graves with flowers. The Rev.
Alexander w. Pitzer, pastor "f the
Southern Presbyterian Church in this
city and an ex-Confederate soldier, was
the orator of the day. He referred to
the fact that the government of the
United States through representatives
of its army was participating in the
exercises and that the government of
the United States had collected the re-
mains of the Confederate soldiers and
had erected suitable stones to mark
their graves. He asked the ex-Con-
federateS present if they should not
recognize that as true magnanimity.
He feelingly referred to the interest
Mr.. Mckinley, while a member of Con-
gress, had taken in the proper care by
the government of the graves of the
Confederate dead and how the estab-
lishment of a Confederate section in
Arlington was a fulfillment of Mr.. Nc
Kinley'S cherished hope.
The exercises were brought to a
close by the Rev. DR.. Prettyman, who
prayed fervently for the living repre-
sentatives of those who fell on both
sides and for the coming of universal
peace and good will which the ceremo-
nies of the day foreshadowed.
