WILL HE HELD FOR RANSOM.
American and British Citizens Carried
Off by Bandits.

Il Tangier, Morocco, May 20.-An
American citizen named Perdcaris and
his stepson, British subject. We're
carried off by the well known bandit,
Raisuli, and his followers and will
doubtless be held for a heavy ransom.
The captives were staying at Perdi-
caris' summer residence, only three
miles from Tangier, when the bandit
attacked and captured them.
Perdicaris is Of Greek origin. but is
q naturalized citizen of the United
States He is very wealthy and has
lived in Tangier for years. He married
an English woman, whose son is his
companion in captivity.
Foreigners are much excited by
this bold raid, SO near Tangier, and
attribute it to the supinencss of the
government in failing to punish the
bandits who last year captured Walter
b. Harris, the correspondent in Moroc-
co of the London Times, and their fail
ure to deal with general lawlessness.

ATTITUDE
OF CHINA
Russian Foreign Minister Dis
cusses Subject With Am.
bassadors Of Powers.
Activity Of Chinese Bandits Con
sidered Tantamount to
State Of War.

st. Petersburg, May 20-It Is
learned that "oreign Minister Lams-
dorff, in interviews with representa-
tiyes of the great powers, laid par
ticular emphasis on the attitude Of the
Chinese. He referred to the necessity
for all the governments continuing
tho policy OF constantly impressing Pc
king with the advisability of preserv-
ing strict neutrality The foreign min
lister desires that China not only be
officially neutral. but that there shall
be no interference on the part Of her
people. and lie believes the latter point
can be assured if violations of the inn
perial proclamations are swiftly pun
,ished The minister has not forgotten
the supineness Of the imperial govern
ment in 1900, which permitted the
Boxer movement to spread until it i'm
plicated the court and required inter
national Intervention.
The views of the Russian foreign
minister are regarded as significant,
especially as they follow the renewed
assurances Of the Chinese minister.
The military expert of the Novoe
Vremya expressed an opinion, which
is slowly crystallizing here, that the.
attitude of the Chinese authorities and
the activity of the Chinese bandits are
tantamount= to state Of war.
1T is the worst kind Of war" says
the expert, Since it is cloaked by
hypocritical neutrality. Russia is nov
