No Developments Of Importance in the

Washington, June THE following
cablegram was received at the state
department Monday from Consul
Gummere, dated Tangier, June 6:
"Feast passed without disturbance.
Situation unchanged. Awaiting reply
from court" ~!
A mail report of May 30 from the
consul general relative to the Perdi-
caris affair was received by the de-
partment Monday. The report spoke
bitterly of the situation and said that
there is no doubt that the Kidnapping
of Perdicaris, although he ha been
with the Moors, who openly declared
that this first incident will be follow
ed by others of the kind.
The whole country, the report said,
appears to be seething with discomfort
and the government is well nigh pow
erless. The consul. general regarded
it as of the utmost Importance that a
warship be sent. The Americans
standing in Morocco. he said, has not
been one of Importance and the Moors
have little or no regard for the United
States or it's representatives, consider
ing them as of little Importance. Mr..
Gummere's report showed that he was
much impressed with the gravity of the
situation, and expressed conviction
that it was only by an extremely deli
cate negotiation that very serious
consequences could be averted.
