are in progress. and the receipt of the fol-
lowing dispatch from Rear Admiral Chad
wick, quickly changed the idea evident
there yesterday that it would be advisable
to withdraw a portion of the American
fleet at Targier.
Rear Admiral Chadwick said:
''The British Minister to Morocco has
requested his Government to send one
battleship to Tangier. The Sultan of
Morocco is expected in Tangier. The gem
eral opinion among foreigners in Tangier
is that the force of the harbor should not
be reduced now"
1t is assumed here that the reason for
the ordering of these warships to Tangier
il the desire to protect their nationalists
from possible outbreak by the Moors, who
are reported to be In thoroughly excited
state of religious frenzy. 1t is thought at
the State Department that the danger
point was passed in the intense religious
festival of yesterday.
The reported nervousness OF France,
England and Spain al the large show of
force by the United States at Tangier is
viewed not without humor by some
officials here, as It somewhat resembles
the block of Venezuela ~ England, Italy
and Germany two years ago. which
caused the Washington Government some
apprehension.
