American Squadron at Tanqler.

This cablegram has been received
at the navy department from Rear Ad-
miral Chadwick, commanding the
South Atlantic squadron at TangieT,
in relation to the seizure by bandits
of Ion Perdicaris:
THE seizure of the American citizen
was by insurgent chief so as to bring
pressure on the Sultan of Morocco TO
secure the demands of the tribe. Our
sense of the gravity of the case is
shown by the presence of the Ameri-
can squadron and will undoubtedly
cause the earlier yielding by the Sui
tan of Morocco to the demands OF the
chief, which is the only safe means of
releasing captives
There Is the highest authority for
the statement that an attack on Tan
gier or an expedition against the
brigands will be followed by the i'm
mediate murder of the captives.
