can marines have landed in Africa.
Admiral Chadwick, wednesday after
noon, cabled the navy department. from
Tangier as follows:
Il have placed a guard at the Bel
sian legation, having Deen asked to
do so by our consul general here"
The navy department also received
a cabiegram from Rear Admiral Chad
wick at Tangier, to the effect that
he has been informed that Perdicaris
and his stepson, Varley, are in need
of medical assistance and mat the
consul general has sent to Raisuli to
INQUIRE whether a surgeon will be Civ.
On safe conduct.
The rumor which is agitating GER
tain European newspapers to the ct.
feet that the United States govern
ment intends permanently to possess
itself of coaling station On the Mo.
roccan coast as settlement is regard
Ell in official Washington as. a jest.
There was never and IS not now the
slightest intention on the part OF this
government Of making any such de-
mands.
Moreover, it is stated that it is not
contemplated by this government to
seize even temporarily any Moroccan
port and custom house in connection
with the Perdicaris case.
It is said at the state department
that there is ample precedent for the
employment of the American. naval
force for the temporary protection
Of the exposed interests of another
power which has no available force at
hand. A few years ago it was the
common understanding that British
vessels should protect American inter-
ests in South American ports where
the United States gunboats should look
after British interests exposed in the
same way. We have also looked at
ter German interests in San Domingo
and elsewhere It is stated that Ad-
miral Chadwick in landing his marines
in Africa for the first time in a half
century was but meeting the require
ment Of International comfy. II is
supposed here that the Belgium lega-
ton is in an outlying section of the
city, easily accessible to the tribes
men of the interior.
Sultan Will Yield. ......--.-,
The state department has received
unofficial assurances through Mr.. Cum
mere. who had it from the British
consul at Fez, that the sultan OF Mo-
rocco will accede 20 all Of Raisu!is
terms. The bandits demand that
Great Britain and the United States
shall guarantee the execution Of the
sultan's promises, however, is the
sticking point. and this probably can
be cotton around only by the accept
ance of this obligation by Great Brit
ain or France, or some other country
so strongly bound, as the United
States by its traditions not to entan-
gle itself in the internal affairs OF
other countries. It is stated positively
that under no conditions can the Unit
ed States government execute these
guarantees.
Reply Of the Sultan.
The sultan's letter in reply to the
diplomatic representations in regard
to the kidnapping of Perdicar1s and
Varley arrived in Tangier Wednesday.
It is said by a person in the sultan's
presence that the sultan has given or
ders to grant all of the conditions de-
manded by the bandit leader in order
to expedite the release of the cap
tives. -.
The sultan in his letter, appoints
Herid Ell Barrada to be governor
Of Talgier, which step was included
among Raisuli's demand. Barrada was
a member of the council Of Mohammed
Ell Torres, the representative of the
sultan in Tangier and formerly was
