fanatics are arrested others take
their places.
A large body Of foreigners left Fez

1t is reported on good authority
that Mulai Hafiz is marching on Casa
blanca at the head of an army. The
power Of the pretender is growing
rapidly In the south. but in the north
the majority OF the people still appear
loyal to the reigning sultan. France
has taken no official notice of Mulai
whatever. He is simply regarded as
q revolutionist. Should he prove.
however, that he Is the choice of the
people as their sultan. that would
place the matter in another light, and
France might then recognize him as
the sultan.

the proclamation of Mulai Hafiz az
sultan be confirmed officially, note
will be sent TO the powers setting
forth the situation with respect to the
adoption of new line of action.
Berlin dispatches say that Ambas-
sador Cambon has returned to that
city from Norderney. He sent long
dispatch to Paris by courier. 1t is re-

lion no longer effective. as one of the
signers does not exist. is to be con-
sidered by France. which PERSISTS
unequivoeally in her policy following
the terms of the convention and will
rot send an expedition of conquest
into the interior. In the meantime
the French government does not
know whether Mulai is marching to-
ward the coast as a friend or foe
