fin Appearance.
 Casa Blanca, Sept. s---The armistice sanctioned by General Drude, has been fruitiess thus far, as the delegates of Caid MaIzi chief of the Chamula tribe have not put in an appearance. General Drude has planned a vigorous cam paign against the natives in case the Moors remain obdurate
 Natives declare that numerous mem bers of the tribesmen are encamped at Taddert, awaiting the arrival of Mulai Hafig or his representative before making another attack.
 Many peaceful Arabs who desire to return to Casa Blanca are hindered by the warning tribesmen who have strong cordons of sentinels posted with instructions to kill all persons at- tempting to pass them.
 An example of the wild anarchy per vading the country is found in the seizure Of Caid Zulgreither one of the fomenters of the Casa Blanca revolt by the Ouled Driess tribe which ap- propriated his fortune and grossly mal- treated his family.
