MOORS THREATEN
Asked General Drude 10 Sur render af Once or They
 Would Burn inc Town.

Casablanca, Friday, Aug. 16.- The hostile Moors surrounding Cas- ablanca sent a message to General Drude, the French commander, yes terday evening notifying him that unless he surrendered immediately his troops would be exterminated and the town destroyed. The general ig- nored the message. Last night pass ed quietly but the Moors are expect ed to attack the French camp to- night or tomorrow.
 The condition of the British colony at Casablanca, which is the most inn portant of the foreign contingents, is pitiable. Shells have destroyed the houses and the Arabs have footed them. A deputation of British sub jects has started for Tangier to con- fer with the British minister there, after which the delegates will gc to London and ask the foreign office to arrange that compensation be grant ed to those who have sustained loss es.
 The French soldiers have been compelled to give up much of the loot which they secured at Cas- ablanca.

ACTED LIKE WILD MAN
Wandering fin Prospect Minus
 His Clothing.

Anyone in the vicinity of the Fitz- patrick laundry in Prospect this morning would have thought that the "Wild Man of Borneo" had come back to life. There was man al- most naked, his only article of appar. ell being tattered shirt, running along covered with scratches and act ing in strange manner. He entered the Fitzpatrick house and 1t was found that the man was suffering from delirium tremens. The police department was notified as was Sup erintendent of Charities James Nor ris, who with Officers Hayes and Bricksl drove to Prospect about ' o'clock. rFy sf5sS,- 7''-- " 2
 It was learned that the runaway man was Timothy Sullivan of New ark, N. J., who is visiting on Bald win street. Sullivan got out of bed this morning about 1 o'clock and without attracting anyone's atten- ton left the house and wandered through the neighborhood, eventual Fly arriving at Prospect. He must have been running through the woods for some time as his feet were cut and. bleeding and his legs were covered with scratches where they had come in contact with the brush and his face also showed that 1t re- ceived bad treatment during the night. Although many persons along the road to Prospect were asked If they had seen Sullivan during the early hours of the morning, little was learned about him up to the time he arrived at Fitzpatrick's.
 '. He was brought to this city b Messrs Morris, Brickel and Hayes and the first named had him taken to the Brookside home.

IN BROAD DAYLIGHT
Robber Covered Office Help With Revolver. Stole SAY. Cut
 Wires - Finally Captured.

Philadelphia, Aug 1.-Two dar- ing hold-ups at the point of pistols occurred yesterday in the crowded central part of the city, both crimes being committed by the same man. H. c. Norman, who says he is a stranger, with two accomplices, en- tered the office of D. H. Holman, a money lender, in a Chestnut street office building, and while his confed- crates stood at the door, covered two women clerks with a revolver and took SAT, all that he could find in the money drawer of the place. Backing off with the revolver still leveled at the terrified women, he cut the telephone wires and escaped with his associates. When the young women finally gave the alarm the men were lost in the crowds on the streets.
 The trio next turned up at Mar ket street jewelry store. Norman asked to see some diamond brooches and as a salesman laid several be- fore him Norman pointed his revol- yer at him. The salesman obeyed the command to hold up his hands and as he did so Norman started for the door with a brooch. Another salesman seized him as he was about to go into the street and held him until a policeman arrived. Norman's accomplices escaped.

OUTLOOK IS GLOOMY
Empress Dowager of Japan is in Poor Health and Politics
 is Badly Mixed.

Tokio, Aug 17.-Private dispatch es from Pekin forecast a gloomy fu- ture owing to the unsettled state of politics there, caused by the absence of ruling mind powerful enough to cope with the situation. The em- press dowager, who heretofore has been sole mistress of affairs, is now in a. critical state of health. Her policy so far has been to play one minister against another in order to prevent the concentration of power in any single hand.
 Inasmuch as the empress is inca pacitated by an incurable disease, and as the historical animosity of the Manchus and mandarins is in- creasing, the prevailing state of af- fairs in the Pekin government con stitutes baffiing problem.
 Whatever compromise may be ef- fected between the progressive Yan Shi Kaa and the conservative Chang Tu Tung, there appears little hope of realizing the complete stability of Pekin authority so imperatively necessary to the integrity of the em- pire, and the peace of the far east in general.
 While fresh guarantee of peace has appeared in the form of the Rus sian-Japanese entente, peace will be constantly subject to disturbance until some decided measures are taken to re-establish order in Pekin politics. This, however, is deemed impossible of accomplishment so long as a Manchu and mandarin sur vive.

IMPROVING THE NAVY.
Senator Dick Talking About an In.
 crease of Pay

Washington, Aug 17.-Senator Dick of Ohio, who has come to be regarded as the champion in the United States senate of the organized militia of the country, has also extended his inter- est to the regular army. Within a day or two he has been here in consulta- tion with officers of the army and navy, in respect to the proposed in- crease of pay in those branches of the service. The navy is interested because in many cases its pay and al- lowances are by statute, based upon those given to the army. Senator Dick, in conjunction with Representative Capron of Rhode Island, has already fathered pending bill looking to the improvement of conditions in the per sonnel of the navy, and 1t was in pmr- suit of the general purposes of that act that the senator came here. He found that the representatives of the war, navy and treasury departments (the latter interestd in the rearrange- ment of pay tables) had already agreed upon a joint bill, which upon inspec- tion he was inclined to accept as sat isafctory measure. He requested that copies of this bill be furnished him as son as it was approved by the presi- dent and 1t is expected that he will avail himself of the opportunity to out line arguments to back up the meas ure when it is taken up for consld- eration by congress.
 Senator Dick stated he was convipc- ed that 1t is absolutely necessary to grant an increase of pay. especially for the enlisted men. if the army Is to be maintained at anything like its present standard.
 The senator said he believed If all the facts were properly presented. the bill would be passed without opposi- ton and he said that he would do all he could to that end.

NEW YORK HARD UP
Tiahlness of Money Market Gives the Biz City All It Can Do
 10 Pay It's Bills.

New York, Aug l7.-Admission IS made to-day that the city of New York is hard pressed to pay it's bills. due to the present tight money mar ket and a consequent inability to dispose of city bonds.
 As was feared, the action of con- tractors who had taken bonds in payment for work done by them and who subsequently sold them in the bond market below par, has caused a slump in the sale of city bonds di- rectly to the public, method devised by the comptroller when the finan- cial institutions failed to absorb the issues.
 The result is that one of the rich est cities in the world is poor, so far as ready cash is concerned, for the first time in the memory of living man. It is said that there is about $1.000,000 on hand to meet nearly $4,000 ,0O0 of pressing obligations.
 Contractors who have long waited for their money threaten to quit work on public improvements, and the situation in this respect is said to be serious.
 Another result of the shortage in cash is that new contracts, except for absolutely necessary work, are held up pending an easement in the situation. Unless the bonds find a market, however, there can be no relief until October. when the years taxes are due.

ISLAND IS LOST.
Government Officials Will Investigate
 This Latest Story.

Washington, Aug. 17.-Govern- ment officials are interested in a story that comes from Honolulu to the effect that Laysan island has dis appeared from the surface of the ocean, according to a report brought to that place by the captain of the schooner Luke C. Olsen. In the ab- sence of official confirmation the in- clination is not to accept as correct the story of the islands disappear ance.
 Laysan island Is about 700 miles west by northwest of the Hawaiian island. The survey charts indicate that 1t is more or less grass grown and that in various places the land reaches an altitude of fifty-hve feet above sea level. It is inhabited and the charts show there is small landing dock there.
