THREAT BY FRANCE
Morocco Must Release Prisoner or Be
Invaded.
LIKE THE PERDIcARIS CASE.
French Minister at Fer Instructed to Depart In
Case OF Moroeeo's Noncompliance with uIii'
Military, Instead Of Naval Demon
straiion. Proposed as Less Liable TO Provoke
International Complications.

Paris (By Cablc).-As result Of
special meeting OF the Council OF Min
listers it was announced that a military
demonstration will be made against Mo-
rocco unless the Sultan promptly yields
to the French demands for the release of
the French-Algerian citizen a merchant
named Bouzan, who was unjusiihably
arrested at Gharb, Moroccan town on
the Algerian frontier.
Instructions were sent 10 the French
Minister at Fcz. Strenc Taiander, to
make a final demand on the Sultan.
The Minister was informed that If this
demand should be refused the entire per-
sonnel of the legation was TO depart
from Morocco, and military movement
would simultaneously begin along the
Algerian frontier
1t is the intention of military author
itios to occupy a Moroccan border town,
probably Oudjda, owing to its strategic
command OF the route to the Moroccan
capital However, the officials are con-
fident that the Sultan will yield before
the threat Of using military force.
The demonstration as planned is some
what similar to that which IN American
squadron made at Tangier TO compel
the release OF Ion Perdicaris who was
captured by the bandit Raisuli. The
French authorities deemed naval dem
onstration inexpedient because Of posi-
bic international complications resulting
from other countries sending warships
to observe the demonstration, while a
military movement against Morocco
would be largely police measure not
involving the general political question
OF French authority in Morocco, The
persistent refusal OF the Sultan TO yield,
however, might compel the French to
advance farther than border town.
Germany has thus far approved the
French demands for redress, but fears
are expressed in some quarters that the
Sultan will refuse to yield in the hope Of
securing the aid OF Germany. Practi-
cally all the leading powers have ap-
proved the determination of the French
Government to adopt firm course. The
proposed course cannot be put into exc
cution before another week, owing to
the time necessary TO communicate the
final demands to the Sultan.

urc President Roosevelt has stepped in

OF what was generally regarded as the
final meeting.
The mere fact that, through the Pres
ident's efforts. the meeting fixed for
Monday will not be held until Tuesday
may not appear to be a very important
development. but it means another p
hours gained, and every additional day
that the conference lasts affords rea-
son for hope OF successful outcome.
Il was at the solicitation OF the Jap
anese euvoys that the arrangement for
the postponement of the next meeting
was made. They were impelled TO this
course by a message from Baron Ka-
ncko, Japanese financial agert in this
country, who acted in behalf OF the Pres
ident. with whom he has had frequent
conferences recently
The purpose OF the President in re-
questing that there be no session OF
the plcnipoientiaries until Tuesday has
not been disclosed authoritatively. but
there is reason to believe he expects
the Japanese government will send new
instructions TO Baron Komura and Mr..
Takahira. which may have some effect
upon the outcome of the negotiations

tion obtained from Russian sources, told

his colleague, Baron Komura, was ex-
pecting TO a communication they had
