 London, Aug. 11.Belated Casablanca despatches reaching here to-day draw terrible pictures of the scenes of desola- tion and horror there, besides confirm | ing the seriousness of the danger while 1 the Arabs f1ercely attacking the consul
 lates, owing to the inadequately small
 force landed from the French cruiser Du Chayla for their defence. It seems | that having completely plundered the | Moorish and Jewish quarters, the Arabs found that they must first of all drive
 away the guards around the consul lates, which would place the European
 shops and stores at their mercy. It 1 needed all of the courage and resource of Lieutenant De Tyssiers, who with
 thirty men, was sent ashore from the | French cruiser Galilee, to save the sit- uation. The Arabs became so bold they
 succeeded in occupying a deserted | French hotel, a high stone building in- side the British consulate line and also
 close to the Spanish consulate, from
 which they poured furious rifle fire. Smaller houses near both consulates were similarly occupied.
 It was then that Lieutenant De Tvs siers decided upon sortie. His small but brave band returned from the sor- tie with dripping bayonets, having talk en the Arabs completely by surprise
 Soon after another officer from the Du Chayla arrived upon the scene with machine gun, which was placed in position upon the roof and did effec- tive execution. Even then the Arabs continued their attacks undeterred, and 1t was only upon the arrival of addi-
 tional war ships that the fighting ended.
 According to correspondents, 2OoO Jews have fled to the country where their fate is uncertain Two hundred Jewish girls were carried off by Arabs, and over hundred Jews were slain
 in the horrible manner. Even women and children were killed with the greatest brutality when they refused
 or were unable to reveal the hiding places of money and valuables. sn7- vivors are now creeping out with wall | ings and lamentations, seeking food among the debris
 Paris, Aug. 1.-The official news received from Tangier to-day showed | a serious condition of affairs there. The aregion around CasablaRca is Iswarming with thousands of fanatical ltribesmen who, mounted on superb horses, with reckless courage are sweeping down necessarily upon the
 French forces but are never able to drive home their attacks against the
 whitening fire from the rifles and guns
 of the troops. Trouble seems also to
 be threatening lower dowa the coast Reports say that calm reigns at Rabat.
 | Algiers, Aug. 1.-The commander of the French. troops here has received
 orders to be prepared to send bat italian of sharpshooters and a section of his artillery to Morocco at a mos ment's notice
 There is persistent rumor here
 which comes from Moorish sources,
 and cannot be confirmed, that the sul-
 tan has left Fez for Rabat, and trav-
 cling by forced marches, has arrived
 at Mazagan,.
 There Is still much uncertainty as
 to the progress that has been made in
 the negotiations for the release of Sir
 Harry MacLean. There are rumors
 that hitch has occurred in the nego- tiations.
