DISTURBANCES IN MOROCCO.
Consul General Philip Reports That
Conditions Are Not Reassuring

Consul General Hoffman Philip reports to
the State Department from Tangier by mail
under date Of October 10 that conditions
in Morocco, and particularly in the north
ern part show no signs of improvement
but on the contrary there appears to be
an increasing tendency toward lawlessness
and disregard of authority among the rest
less tribes. From the south, where the
people heretofore have been more loyal
than in the north, news has been received
of serious disturbances. Fighting has
taken place between the two powerful
chiefs between Mogador and Morocco city,
one chief having been placed in control of
a large section of the country by order of
the sultan, and the other rebelling against
being superseded and refusing to obey the
sultan's summons to Morocco city.
The followers of the pretender have re-
newed their activity in the north and east
and there has been much fighting in the
neighborhood of the French frontier, and
the important town of Ougda has been be-
the rebels, owing to the weakness of the
Shereefian forces.
Fee remains quiet, but there is great un-
rest in the countries surrounding Tangier.
A part of the numerous mountain tribe OF
BENZ Msowar, reported allies of RatSulf,
a village in the Fahz district, about ten
miles from Tangier. Several villages In
the neighborhood went to the aid of the
village attacked: eight or ten men were
killed and the raiders driven off. Similar
disturbances occur at intervals throughout
the region, the hill tribes being the aggres-
sors, and the roads are generally closed to
traffic There are as yet no evidences of
French Intervention to assist In the resto-
ration of order.

demonstration put the political cry
of is to 1 out of business by raising
thirty-four barrels of Peerless Irish
potatoes on two acres-this from
two barrels of seed potaes, making
seventeen barrels of potatoes to one

Mr.. Putegnat's crop of potatoes
this year will be much larger as he
has much larger acreage planted,
and the land has been watered bet
ter this year than last. He also
has four acres of Louisiana Creole
onions and two acres of white

already marketed no small number
of sacks, averaging about 100
pounds to the sack. 81
