Madrid. Aug. 2G.-The newspapers

While certain of the ministers in
dorse the course that Is being pursued
others, 1t is alleged, hold that the role
created by the Algeciras conference
differs from that actually being played
by Spain. According to The Liberal
Premier Maura announced to the mem
bers of the cabinet that Spain would
take the offensive only IL her troops
We're directly attacked, and that other
wise she would rest merely as a spec
tator of the internal conflicts that are
rending Morocco, and of what France
does II the troops of that country I'D

that absolute fearlessness continues to
characterize the attacks delivered by
the tribesmen upon the French forces
encamped there, and Friday bands of
Arabs madeisolated reckless advances.
A detachment of 100 natives, while
stealing in toward the city, was am
pushed near the beach by the French.
A merciless fire moved them down.

New Plan to Supply the
Funds Necessary.
Action Will Prevent Acute Money
stringency and Panic.
HE STUDIED IT OUT HIMSELF
Will Distribute Government Money

New York, Aug 24.-Secretary of
the Treasury Cortelyou has announced
a new plan Of depositing government
funds in New York, Boston and 9TH
or cities to afford relief to the money
market in the approaching crop-nov-
Ing period. Secretary Cortelyou will,
commencing next week, place each
week for five weeks or more at such
points in the country as he shall desig-
nate government funds to such an
amount as he deems sufficient to pre-
vent an acute monetary stringency and
possible panic when the demand for
money is greatest at the height Of the
crop-moving period.
He Adopts New Plan.
The plan of the secretary for none
tary relief is new to the financial
world, and one which he believes will
prove more efficacious than the old
method Of the treasury department in
waiting until the country was severe.
ly shaken financially and then coming
to the relief at the last moment by
placing large deposit of government
funds in New York banks. Secretary
Cortelyou did not state how much
money he would deposit each week,
though he indicated that the amount
would equal the situation. The plan
for financial relief was made known
in an official statement to the Asso-
ciatcd Press:
Made . Study of tho Matter.
Secretary Cortelyou developed the
new plan for the relief of the money
markets after long study of the many
problems to beconsidered in the adapt.
alton OF n method SO entirely different
from the one that had been followed
hitherto, The plan Is one which tho
secretary hopes will find general ia
vor In the financial and business world.
The secretary has kept close watch at
his summer home at Huntington, l.. l.,
on thedevelopment in the worlds mon
ey markets, and he decided to take ac-
ton at once to preclude, insofar as
he was able under the law, the posi-.
billy OF panic this canning fall when
the west is drawing heavily upon the
east for funds to move the crops.
Scheme Ia All His Own.
Secretary Cortelyou's plan is all his
own. and he consulted with no one
regarding 1t. He has made a careful
study of the crop-moving stringency,
and after mature consideration of
the question he believed that the inter-
ests Of the business world would be
best conserved in the next few months
by the dcpositing of government funds
at various points throughout the coun-
try each week, and in amounts large
enough to ease a Tightening money
market. Investigation of the results
attained under the old treasury plan Of
waiting until the last moment and
then placing a large single amount Of
government funds in New York dis.
closed to Secretary Cortelyou that as
rule the placing of large amount
of money. while it really helped. was

soon or too late.
