Tangier, Aug. 9.--The horrors OF
the looting of Casa Blanca by native
tribesmen are becoming known today
and their recital is inflaming the ma
tives against all Europeans. The sit
uation in various coast towns is worse.
The natives are excited. A holy war
Is being preached at Rabat Anti-fOr-
eign sentiment is growing as a resul:
of the activities of fanatical agtators.
There Is fear of general outbreak.
A number of European families are
preparing to flee from Tangier. The
Angora tribesmep in the immediate
vicinity of Tangier are restless and
may get out of hand. The Moorish
authorities have practically no control
of the society.
There are many complaints among
the Europeans that France acted in-
adVisably at Casa Blanca in lombard
ing that town before protection could
be arranged for the Jews and Euro
peans there and elsewhere along the
coast and in the interior The news
from Casa Blanca, while conflicting as
to the situation there today, unites in
continued for longer than was first
supposed. and that the lack of an ade-
auate French force to afford protec-
ton resulted in an opportunity Tor
barbarOus looting, rapine and Flllage
with all the accompaniment of murder
and horror. The first French landing
parties could not control the situation.
Moorish authority s4sitshed with the
first French sun, and lawlessness
reigned. 1t is now reported. however,
that between 1000 and 5000 French
and Spanish marines and blue Jacke's
are ashore at Casa Blanca and that or
der has been restored. The Europeans
there are all safe. The loss OF Ire
among the MOors resulting from the
bombardment appears to be much
greater than was first Indicated.
France and Spain, the two powers
responsible 70 the maintenance OF
order, are sending in reinforcements
i and cruisers and transports are pro-
ceeding with all speed for Casa Blanca

The native troops are regarded as

dignant that so little protest has been
forthcoming. Many families are
