AS a rule. however, we may expect

The Oldest and most densely popu-

to export grain, and while the world
endures there will always be ex-
changes of SURPRISES. AS to our pro-
duction we are probably nearing our

On Monday number Of Arab
chiefs entered Casa Blanca and de.
manded that the harbor improve.

Casa Blanca pointed out that this
work was being done with the sane.

chiefs replied that the sultan was
no longer their ruler, as he obeyed
the Christians. They then began to

Jews and Europeans in the town.
tuesday morning the natives began
their attack by stoning European,
