FRANCE ORDERS TROOPS
 10 MOVE INTO MOROCCO
WILL CROSS THE BORDER FROM ALGERIA AND OCCUPY
 OUDJA.

French Government Determined to
 Have Satisfaction for the Assassin- l atiOn of Dr. Mauchamp and Repara- tiOn for Other Grimes and Assaults
 Against French Citizens - Powers
 Party to the Algiciras Conference
 Notified of Frances Intentions.
 Paris, March 26.-The Moroccan sit- uation. 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- ton in Morocco City of Dr. Mauchamp, a French subject, and a lively debate IS anticipated in the chamber of dep- utles tomorrow. Members of the cham Der from the department of Saone ct Lore, where pr. Mauchamp lived, will interpellate the government, and one of them. M. Fernan Dubief, radi- cal socialist, is in possession of Ia num- Der of letters from the doctor in which he complains bitterly of his abandon. ment by the French authorities, giving instances of their slackness and inac- tivity It is expected that extracts from these letters will be read. Fur thermore, the socialists are liable to seize this opportunity to attack the government in retaliation for their re- cent defeat in the matter of the strike of the electricians of Paris.
 The ministry is fully alive to the im- portance of the situation and is ready to offer full explanation to the chanf- Der.
 The decision of the cabinet to-day to send French troops to occupy Oudja, in Morocco, was unanimous, The occupa- tion of this point will be continued until full satisfaction has been accorded.
 The French demands include the pun ishment of the murderer of Dr. Mau- champ and indemnity for the fatlily of the victim and the appropriation of a large sum for the foundation of a char itable institution In Morocco in mem ory of Dr. Mauchamp.
 Full instructions have been telegraph ed to the military authorities in Algeria regarding the formation and dispatch of a military column to occupy Oudja.
 The decision of the government to oc- cupy Oudja means that troops will im- cross the Algerian frontier from Tlemsen, where considerable forces of all arms are stationed. The decision was reached in order to com pei Moorish response to the repeated demands of France for the repression of disorder and reparation for abuses of power, crimes and assaults affecting French citizens resident in Morocco. l The Moroccan government has persist ently refused to execute the agreements concluded with France in 1901 and 1902 and has absolutely ignored the French | representations on the subject.
 Photographic instructions were sent this evening to Algeria, notifying the | military authorities to prepare "a col | umn of troops for the occupation of Oudja. General LlAautey, the com mander of the troops in South Gran, will probably lead the column of occu- patton.
 The powers party to the Algiciras have been notified of Frances intentions,

GERMANY FEARS ISOLATION
object of Chancellor Won Buelow'a
 Visit to Italy.

tAsAt "
 Rome, March 25.-Prince von Buelow, the imperial German chancellor, ar- rived at Rapallo to-day.
 According to official statements the meeting between Prince von Buelow and Foreign Minister Tittoni, which will take place the end of this week, has no political significance, but in other quarters the purpose of this meeting is declared to be the strength ening of the triple alliance and the elimination of all friction between Ita- ly and Austria for the purpose of pre- venting the isolation of Germany at the Hague peace conference, This con- ditlon would arise, it is declared, if Ita- ly should join Great Britain and the United States in their attitude on the question of the limitation of arma- ments. With the exception of Germa- ny and Austria the other powers are practically as one on this question, and consequently Germany runs the danger of being placed at The Hague in the same position she was in during the in- ternational Moroccan conference at AL geciras.

Thaw, District Attorney Jerome and all of the counsel for the defense were present in the criminal branch of the supreme court this morning at Il o'clock. Justice Fitzgerald had fixed that hour for notifying the lawyers in the case if he should desire further evi- dence from either side or an argument of any sort. The defendants family were all in court. Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit
 
 ed the criminal courts building unac- companied. Mrs William Thaw and her two daughters, the Countess of Yarmouth and Mrs. George L. Carne- gie, arrived together and Edward Thaw appeared soon thereafter.
 There was a long wait for Justice Fitzgerald, who did not arrive until after o'clock. By this time the wom- en members of the Thaw family had become tired out. and had returned to their hotels. When the judge finally took his place on the bench he merely went through the formality of having the court session adjourned until We'd nesday morning at 1O:30 o'clock, the hour set last Friday for the jury to make It's reappearance in the case Jus tice Fitzgerald made no announcement whatever to the attorneys, and they vouchsafed none, the ceremonies in court occupying less than two minutes
 Justice Fitzgerald Is not expected to make his decision known until court on Wednesday morning. If he decides to appoint commission he will probably first excuse the jurors informing them that they will be dutly notified when their pres ence is again desired. Then after the jury retires he will formally announce the appointment of a commission. If the judge decides not to appoint a com mission he may make no other an- than to direct that the trial proceed
