FRANCE BREAKS RELATIONS

TANGIER, Dec. A.-The siege of AL
cazar has ended without bloodshed.
News of that fact has just arrived
here by swift courier. The settlement
of the difficulty was accomplished
through the intercession of a number
of influential natives, who argued that
the offended Moors OF the neighborhood,
who were conducting the siege, could
be induced TO withdraw if given GER
tain amount of money
This proved TO be the case. The
amount paid was s., 500, and Immediately
after it was handed over the siege was
raised
In consequence of the discord now
existing between the Sultan of Morocco
and the French legation here, the pro-
jected visit of NJ Saint-Rene Tainand-
Ter 10 FeZ has been indefinitely post

Moreover, it is stated on good author
