Paris, Aug. 9.-Dispatches from
Tangier. received today, show the stu
alton in Morocco is growing more Sc
rious. The town of Mazagan was bonn
barded by the French cruiser d Chayla

not damaged. The report says that

STRIKE SITUATION ON THE c & s.

Denver, Aug. S.-With both sides
still claiming the advantage. there was
little change in the strike situation on
the Colorado & Southern today. Tele-
grams are still being exchanged be
tween the Washington mediators and
Grand Master Morrissey of the Broth
erhood OF Railway Trainmen, but with
out result. Martin A. Knapp, chair
man of the interstate commerce com
mission, has left Washington, but the
work of trying to get the men and COM
pany together will be continued by
Commissioner Neill. Vice President
Parker of the G. e. s. has not heard
from Washington for several days. but
will likely be informed the result OF
negotiations with Mr. Morrissey in a
day or two. He will then be given a
chance to offer some solution of the
difficulty. Parker says today he has
all the men he wants. that the strike
is broken and freight trains are NOV.
