RA|SUL| TAKES FLIGHT
SULTAN'S TROOPS TAKE THE
REBELS STRONGHOLD.
NONE KILLED IN FIGHT
Bandit Chief and His 700 Followers
Escape to the Mountains-Next
Move Against MuIai Mo-
hammed.

Tangier.-Zinat, Raisuli's strong
hold, was virtually destroyed by fire
and fell into the hands of the troops
Of the sultan at noon Sunday, after a
short and almost bloodless fight.
Raisulf and his 700 followers sue
ceeded in eluding capture and reach
ing the mountains, despite the elabor-
ate plans of War Minister Gabbas to
prevent their escape
No firing took place Saturday night,
but at ten o'clock Sunday morning
the artillery, under command of an
Algerian native lieutenant whom the
French authorities permitted to par
ticipate in the battle on request of
War Minister Gabbas, opened on the
town.
The Moorish gunners showed utter
incapacity in handling their guns and
the infantry fired haphazard. Two
shells dropped inside the fastness
without reply, and thereupon a body
of the sultan's troops charged, shout
ing, and reached the walls amid desul-
tory shots from the surrounding
brush
The gates to the town were found
to be open, but there were no occu-
pants of the place except Is prisoners,
included among whom were four Por-
tuguese.
A detachment of the government
troops continued firing in the direc-
ton of the mountains, where Raisuli
and his followers were observed flee
ing.
Meanwhile the other government
troops pillaged the stronghold, secur-
ing considerable booty in the shape OF
costly carpets, arms, cattle and
sheep.
No fatalities in the fighting Sunday
were reported, though few persons
on both sides were wounded. It is
thought probable that the Raisulites
carried off their dead.
Minister of War Gabbas, who has
not left Tangier during the opera
tions, it is expected will next move
against the pretender to the throne,
Mulai Mohammed, a brother of the
sultan, from whose followers there
have been many OBJECTIONS recently.

dress follows:

land. to assure respect for the laws to
develop popular education, to promote
the general welfare. to be buttress for

legal proceedings on slim pretexts against
onposing members of the duma in order to
disauaiify them from participation in
legislation Today the lower house re-
ceiyed demands that the duma surrender
into the hands of Justice the st. Peters
burg deputy M. Kolubiakin. who is col
league of Prof. Milukoff, leader of the
Constitutional Democrats. on the ground
that on May of last year M. Kolubiakin
made speech at Samara which was
