sPECK OF WAR IN AFRICA, TOO
Probably Morocco Would Climb Down

Paris. March 26. - The Moroccan
situation, which has been forced into
the background for a year past by
acute internal problems, has now been
brought to the front by the assassina-

French subject. The decision Of the
cabinet TO send French troops to &C.
cupy Oudja, in Morocco, was unani-
nous. The occupation Of this point
will be continued until full satisfac-
ton has been accorded. The French
demands include the punishment Of the
murderer of DR.. Mauchamp, indemnity
for the family of the victim, and the
appropriation of a large sum for the
foundation of a charitable institution
in Morocco in memory of Dr. Maui
champ.
The decision to occupy Oudja means
that troops will Immediately cross the
Algerian frontier from Tlemsen, where
considerable forces of all arms are
stationed. The decision was reached
in order to compel a Moorish response
to the repeated demands of France for
the repression of disorder and repara-
tiCn for abuses Of power, assaulting
French citizens in Morocco. The Mo-
roccan government has persistently re-
fused to execute agreements concluded
with France in 1901 and 1902, and
has absolutely ignored the French gov
| ernment's representations on the sub
ject.
