the mercy of Raisuli, who, they believe,
could easily raid the city. The action
taken by the cabinet in the matter has
not been announced.
Premier Clemencesu is quoted in an
interview as saying that the ministers
generally discussed the situation in Mo-

The period of autumn storms along
the Moroccan coast, which will soon be-

for the government to solve.

hour later the locomotive jumped the

the sisles. All these people we're TANNED
together in the first shock. The only
explanation ::of the disaster, 80 far, is
that the engineer was trying to make up
