LEGATION CONFIRMS
MACLAIN'S MISFORTUNE

The British legation confirms the
capture of General Sir Harry MacLean
by Bandit Ralsuli.
Raisuli says he will hold General
MacLean until he Is granted the fol-
lowing terms for his surrender:
1.-The reconstruction of his house
at Zinat.
2.-The payment of an indemnity CT
about 100000.
3.-His re-appontment as governor
of Tangier and his appointment as
commander of police
The SULTAN is launching a punitive
expedition against the Adjera tribe
of this vicinity, owing to the fact that
they have not paid their tribute to
his majesty's collectors.
Capture Regarded a. Master Stroke.
London, July 3,-rhe capture Of
MacLean, the virtual commander Of
the forces of the sultan Of Morocco,
by Raisuli, Is regarded as a master
stroke Evidently MacLean was COM
pletely hoodwinked. Only yesterday
he telegraphed to the sultan that Raj
suli had agreed to all the former =
proposals. There Is little doubt here
that the bandit will hold MacLean
as hostage until he Is reinstated In
power and otherwise indemnihed fol
the losses which he has sustained
since he was driven from. the govern
orship of Tangier.

Tangier, July 3.-Caid General Sir
Henry MacLean commander of the
su-tan's body guards and next tosthc
sultan the most influential man in Mo-
rocco, has been captured by Raisuli,
the bandit chief. Raisuli has an
nounced that he will hold the general
prisoner until the sultan grants the
terms which he (Raisul) demands for
his own pardon and MacIaean's re-
lease.
General MacLean is now at Elkms,
in the heart of a wild mountain dis
trict, three days march from Tangier.
He is being well treated and has been
allowed to write to the minister and
send for his baggage.
The capture of the general was
planned carefully. He went out to the
rendezvous with Raisuli against the
advice of his companions
The incident is being discussed with
deep interest in diplomatic circles
here, and the action of the British
authorities is awaited with anxiety,
as its recognized that the affair may
entail the gravest consequences.
For some time General MacLean,
acting in behalf of the sultan, had
been trying to persuade Raisui to
resume q peaceful mode of life and
the bandit apparently had shown signs
of willingness to meet che wishes OF
the Moroccan authorities with the re.
suit that General MacLean was en-.
trusted with the task of taking some
presents from the sultan to Raisull in
the hope of finally persuading him 70
come to terms. These gifts consisted
of horses and tents. and to. escort them
to his stronghold Raisuli sent fifteen
of his bandits to the general to act
as a bodyguard Accompanied by these
men General MacLean iOurneyed to-
ward Sueir, where he was to meet
Raisuli But on arriving there the
general was informed that he was a
prisoner. Later Raisu!i sent a mes
senger to the sultan announcing the
capture and setting forth the terms of
his demands
