REVIEW OF HAGUE
CONFERENCE IN SESSION EIGHT
 WEEKS.
Abolition of C0ntRaband Proposed By Great Britain Is Now COnsid- cred To Be Buried For
 Good.

The Hague, Aug. 1.-The Peace Con- ference has now been sitting for eight weeks and the time IS apparent for d review of the work accomplished or that is likely to result The subject of limitation of armaments has been shelved by the President of the Con ference, but there Is nothing to prevent 1t coming up for future conferences. Indeed, the British proposition whtcn is certain to be carried. strengthens that proposed by M. Bourgeois, (French). and adopted by the Con ference in 1898.
 All the work of the. present Con- ference may be divided into two cate gories, one composed of technical prop- ositions destined to render war more humane. and the other of political prop osltions involving a principle destined to prevent international conflicts. The only other proposition in this category which was approved unanimously was the adoption of the Geneva Convention, to sea warfare.
 Agreement on the Gnterdiction of the sowing of mines was hindered by :5reat Britain and Germany, neither of these powers being disposed to budRe &n inch from the attitude their naval de- partments assumed. The que stion of the abolition of contraband proposed by Great Britain Is now considsced to be buried as all the naval powers, inciud- ing the United States, are agains. 1t.

SITUATION IS THREATENING

Paris, Aug. 1.-The official news re- ceived from Tangier today showed a serious condition of affairs there. The region around Casa Blanca Is swarm ing with thousands of fanatical tribes men, who. mounted on superb horses, are sweeping down necessarily upon the French forces, but are never able to drive home their attacks against the whitening fire of rifles and guns of the troops. The reckless courage of the tribesmen is attested by the manner in which they return the onslaught.
 Aside from the trouble at Casa Blanca, the situation seems to be a threatening orfe lower down the coast.
 Tn two wireless despatches dated Saturday night, Admirai Philibert, conn manding the second French squadron, reports attacks Friday night and Sat- urday afternoon at Casa Blanca The latter, the Admiral describes as eheavy but quite brilliantly repulsed."
 Two of his men were wounded. He reports also that many horses are ap- preaching the Mazagan coast and that the city of Mazagan Is threatened. The cruiser Du Chayla has been sent to Saf- ifs and Mogador from where the Ad- miral anxiously awaits news. He says that calm retgns at Rabat.

Attached to the search lights will be a recently invented color scintillator by which the beams of light can be made any color at will. The mist and the water will be bathed in all the colors of the rainbow. pro- ducing a most georgous effect
