Report Is Confirmed.

Paris, Apr. 2S.-A news agency here
has what purports to be confirmation
of the report of the assassination of
Raisuli According to the report re-
ceived here the bandit was ambushed
by number of Leymes tribesmen
while returning to his home from a
native feast offered in his honor. Other
reports express doubts as to the truth
of the rumors.
Long In Public Eye.
Raisuli has occupied the public at
tention to very considerable extent
during the last few years by his ag-
gressive activity in Morocco, where,
besides carrying on pretty constant
warfare against the sultan he has cap
tured several foreigners of prominence
and held them for ransom. He has
been described as the most picturesque
bandit of modern times.
Raisuli was native of Zinat and an
ordinary farmer in his early life. He
took to brigandage some years ago.
He started by making raids on cara
vans in the interior and later moved
his field of operations to the coast,
where he would threaten the ports. In
October, 1906, he proclaimed himself
governor of ArZilla, and two weeks
| later was actually appointed to that
post by the sultan, who always has
stood in considerable fear of him. 1t
was then said that the Moroccan for
eign office was in sympathy with Raj
suits political ambitions, but foreign
| influences prevailed and the sultan
finally had to send his minister Of
war against him. Raisuli first became
prominent before the outside world by
his capture of w. b. Harris, Tangier
correspondent of the London Times,
whom he released on the payment of
a large ransom.
Once Held an American.
Next he seized Ion Perdicaris, ma
tive of New Jersey, and this feat was
the occasion of the dispatch of the
United States squadron to the Moroc,
| can coast and the ultimatum: Per
dicaris alive or Raisuli dead" which
caused great enthusiasm at the Re-
| publican national convention in Chi
cago which nominated Mr.. Roosevelt
for president. A ransom of $4,000
was paid by the sultan of Morocco and
Mr.. Perdicaris was released Raisuli's
last exploit that attracted the atten.
ton of outsiders was the capture Of
Sir Harry MacLean, an Englishman
in the service of the sultan of Moroc
CO, and his retention for seven months
during which time the prisoner was
subjected to more or less i'll treat.
ment. Sir Harry was finally released
on the payment to Raisuli of a ran.
| som of 100000 and guarantee from
the British government of protection
and immunity from arrest. Raisuli had
many enemies in his own country

KISS DELAYS SAILING.
Young French Couple Smack OF
Gang Plank Of Ship.

New York.-The Mary Garden"
kiss, the Dream Waltz" kiss and all
other famous kisses of lengthy dura-
ton, were left at the post the other
day when the real Steamer kiss"
was exemplif1ed on the gang plank Of
the steamship La Touraine, French
liner, which delayed the steamers
sailing second over three minutes,
which was the time of the prolonged
smack.
The order had been given to draw
in the gang plank when a dainty
and pretty French girl leaped from
cab and dashed for the steamer. She
had run midway up the gang plank
when she noticed the preparations to
depart and she paused and cried:
Francois"
A form in the person Of q good
looking young Frenchman answered
her cry from the steamer, and they
were in each others arms before any
of the crew could prevent him from
leaving the steamer. AS they locked
arms their lips met and the kiss
was on.
After delaying the steamers de-
parture the young woman tripped
down the gang plank radiantly happy
While her companion darted back
aboard La Touraine, breathing heavily
from the exertions of his ecstatic
farewell.
