PARIS, Aug 4.-The government re-
ceived today through the French charge
d'affaires at Tangier, the excuses of the
Moroccan government trouble at Casa
Blanca and its usual assurance that its
orders have been given to the governors
of the various parts that they will be
held responsible for the security of for
eigners.
But these assurances will not prevent
this government from cooperating with
Spain, for which active preparations are
being made. The second naval division,
consisting of the cruisers Gueydon, Glolre
and Jeanne dare sailed from Toulon to-
day for Morocco. The entire coast of
that country probably will be patrolled
by French and Spanish fleets until the ina
ternational police are installed.
Foreign Minister Pichon conferred this
afternoon with President Fallieres at
Ramboulet concerning the situation. Gen.
A. M. B. Drude commanding the First
regiment of the Fourth Algerian trail
leurs, has been given command of the
French expeditionary force that is en-
barking at Oran for Casa Blanca.
The impression is general here that in
order to put an end to anarchy in
Morocco a punitive expedition must
march on Fee.

On the way to Bellevue hospital, where
the injured were taken, Tarhell. who

I'm glad of it; I'll never ride in an

machine was coming down the incline on
East Thirty fourth street at a fair speed
when at the junction of Third avenue a
surface car crossed their path.
The automobilists say the street car
was running beyond control, while others
say that Tarbell attempted to beat out
the trolley at the crossing. The car
struck the automobile squarely and jam

RICHARD MANSFIELD
is SERIOUSLY ILL
WELL KNOWN ACTOR IN DANGER
GUS CONDITION
Is Established in Adirondacks, Where
He Is Not Allowed to See Any
One but Members Of His
Own Family

BY Associated Press.
AMPERSAND, Lake Saranac, Aug. A.
The continued Illness of Richard Mans
field, the actor, since his return from
Europe has aroused some apprehension
as to the effect on his stage career.
Mr.. Mansfield, accompanied by his wife,
his brother, Felix Mansfield, a maid, a
valet and a secretary, arrived here by
special train from Montreal last Sunday
night, and are occupying a cottage, where
Mr.. Mansfield has his meals served. He
refuses absolutely to see any one, but
his brother, Felix Mansfield, speaking for
him, said:
Mr.. Mansfield, as is well known, suf-
fered a severe nervous breakdown. due,
without doubt, to overwork. He had taken
practically no vacation for several years.
The voyage to England in the latter part
of May rather upset him. He rested
quietly at his country place in Sussex
for nearly two months, living the quiet
life of a country gentleman, but the
weather was foggy, cold and rainy, and
it was thought best to return to this
country
HE decided to come to the Adiron-
dacks for a rest of week or two while
his summer residence at New London,
Conn, is being put in readiness for his
occupancy. Mr.. Mansfield has been ad-
vised to take complete rest and to free
his mind entirely from business cares and
professional matters.
Sees Only Family
"EIe sees nobody but the members OF
his family He is convalescing slowly
but satisfactorily, and we believe 1t just
a question of time when he shall regair
his old time strength and vigor."
Asked as to his brothers plans for th'
future, Mr.. Mansfield continued:
"If he has any plans for the future n
is keeping them to himself. Personally
think he has but one plan, and that is Il
regain his health at the earliest possible
time"
At the time when Felix Mansfield wa:
giving this hopeful view of his brother:
condition he was endeavoring to summon
physicians from Motreal and other place:
to examine. his brother. 1t is known thai
Mr.. Mansfield passed several bad nights
followed by some Improvement.
There Is good reason to believe that his
condition is more serious than his family
are willing to admit. DR.. Newton of this
place was called in, and on Thursday Dr.
Lemeux of Montreal arrived and visited
the patient Neither physician, however,
would discuss the case. 1t is known that
following Mr.. Mansheld's nervous pros
tration he has suffered great pain from
sciatic rheumatism, and recently COM
planned of severe pains, probably caused
by pleurisy. He has lost flesh, his face
is pale and his eyes show the severe
ordeal he has been undergoing.

been received at the state department

settled by the treaty of Client.

no disposition to regard the action of

State R. Scott says no government action
has been taken to plant the British flag
on Isle Royale and claim possession for
England There is nothing in any such
story, he said tonight, when told of the

Laguna dam and the afternoon at the
California Development company's head
ings.
To the Associated Press Secretary Gar
field said 'Laguna dam is the key to the
control of the Colorado river. This dam
extends from Rock Bluffs on both sides,
so that when completed the water will be
held vertically and horizontally. This ar
rangement will permit us to take it out of
each side at a definite elevation and also
to put in sluiceways for removing the
heavier mud. BY having such control we
can distribute water over valley lands on
both sides In our opinion the Imperial
country will have an absolutely depend
able supply of water until it's canal is
connected with a dam extending COM
pletely across the river.
"Other sources may answer the valleys
need for this generation and for the next,
but ultimately the Imperial country will
need such dam and Laguna is the most
immediate site available Even should
Imperial have no need of the connecting
canal as a water supply, the canal would
be worth its cost to the people as a per-
petual insurance

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Aug. 4.-Papers
have been prepared in suit to enjoin
the city from erecting a proposed million
dollar electric light plant to compete
with the present private corporation, the
ground for the injunction being that the
city needs to invest one and half mill

and other necessary improvements.
To erect the city light plant as pro-
posed will mean an indefinite deferring of
the other improvements, as the city is
now too near it's bond limit to build both
the light plant and the bridges, viaducts
