Paris, March 25.-Some of the news
papers attributed the assassination of
DR.. Mauchamp in Morocco City direct
ly to the anti-French agitation, which
has been consistently fostered by Ger
man agents throughout the country.
The sultan's brother, Moulay Hatid,
the representative of the governing
board in Morocco City, is completely
under the influence of a German doc
tor named Holtzmann, who has been
most active in arousing native preju-
dices against Frenchmen and Span
iards.
Massacre Feared.
The newspapers declare that the ia
natical natives are now stirred up to
such a pitch that the Frenchmen in
Morocco are likely to be massacred at
any moment unless an immediate
sharp lesson is administered. The dis
patch of a cruiser to Morocco, it is de
clared, will do no good. What is nee
essary is decisive action along the AL
gerian frontier with the occupation of
Oudja.
