preparations which Banker Stensland had
made for his departure and his investiga-
tions of places of retreat were revealed
yesterday by the accidental discovery of
his communication through the means of
an Arabic Interpreter, with the Moroccan
bandit. Raisuli. and the French adven-
turer. Lebaudy. whose self-assumed title

The two letters. one sent In April to Mo-
gador. in South Morocco. presumably to
TIE agents of Labaudy and another to one

been running low, and 1t may have been

OF his advances to Raisull not proving
profitable or attractive.
From the fact that he returned from

cash brought by the fugitive. and denied

that he was preparing TO aid the bandit
chief will, however. greatly simplify the ex-
