Tangier, March 2L-Emperor Will
liam paid a flying visit to 1rangier, re.
naming barely two hours on shore.
1t was expected that he would remain
on shore five hours, and his change Of
plans caused much comment. 1t was
officially explained that his reason
for not landing sooner was owing to
the roughness of the sea, but after his
departure 1t was stated, on good au-
thority, that Emperor William, having
heard of the possibility Of an anti
French demonstration, desired to
avoid such incident.
Another report. which is generally
accepted, states that the German lega
ton was informed that an anarchist
plot had been discovered and advised
that the Emperor be dissuaded from
landing.
