HOLY WAR EXPECTED.
Paris Aug. la---The latest dis.
patches from Tangier are to the effect
that holy war may be proclaimed
throughout Morocco. According tc
the correspondent of the Matin at
Tangier the natives are still in a
state of ferment. He says:
'rhe insurrection is spreading rap
idly. The French residents are leay-
ing Alcazar and El Kebr
"'rhe transport Niye has arrived at
Casablanca and landed more troops.
There are now 1900 French soldiers
there
Dispatches received by the govern
men today from Tangier are some
what more reassuring. However the
situation is very grave. The danger
OF q holy war is recognized by the
government, and, should it be pro.
claimed, it will set the whole OF Ma
rocco aaame. The natives hate the
Europeans and Christians, aud only
want a favorable opportunity to mur-
der them and loot their property. Agi-
tatcrs are going about among the
natives preaching death to Europeans
and trying to excite them to bloody
revolt
The dread of the warlike tribesmen

Union Commercial Telegraph oper,
ators will be universal throughout the
United States and Canada within "a
hours, according to Secretary Russell
Of the Tclegraphers' organization.
This statement was made by Russell

to hold a walk out in abeyance until
the latter part Of the week.
Thirty-five skilled telegraph oper-
ators employed by the American Tele-
graph and Telephone company at its
lcng distance telephone office here
decided today to prepare demands for
n wage Increase and better working
conditions with an ultmatum that un-
less they were conceded by next We'd
nesday a strike will follow. This
would result in practical paralysis of
the long distance telephone business.
