HOLY WAR DECLARED
Mulai Hafid Proclaimed Sultan
of Morocco at Fee.
ABDEL AZlZ is DETHRONED
In Order to Arouse Fanaticism of the
Southern Moors the Sultan of Rec
ord is Represented as Having Sold
Himself to the Christians.

Tangier. Morocco, Jan. 13.-Mulai
Hatid was, on Jan. 4, proclaimed sui
tan at Fez, one of the capitals of Mo-
rocco, and holy war has been de-
clared.
Unverified reports to this effect
have been in circulation for a day or
two, but official confirmation of them
has been received. Mulai Hafid, who
some months ago was proclaimed sui
tan at Morocco City, was not present
at Fee, and kis uncle, Mulai Saramini,
was made vice regent pending his ar
rival there. Abdel Aziz, the sultan of
record, was formally deposed from
the sultanate.
The proclamations were issued at
the principal mosques and all the
Moorish formalities attending such
ceremonies were scrupulously OBJ
served. The uleamas, or body of Mos
lem doctors, who interpret the Koran,
and the city officials were the prin.
cipal leaders in the movement The
followers of Mulai Hafid made use of
the decision of Abdel Aziz to cooper
ate with France and Spain in the exc
cution of the terms of the Algeciras
act and the installation of an interna-
tional police force in the coast towns
of Morocco to arouse the fanaticism
of the Southern Moors. Abdel Aziz
was represented as having sold him
self to the Christians, as having con-
niVed at the invasion of the sacred
soil of Morocco by Europeans and as
being ready to turn the country over
TO the foreigners.

MANY LIVES ENDANGERED
Alleged Black Hand ARRAY Occurs on
New York Street Car.

New York, Jan. 13.-An alleged
"BIack Hand" affray endangered the
lives of many persons and created a
panic on a Fourteenth street cross
town car. Gjoya Giano got on the car
with stiletto in his hand and is al
legged to have attempted to stab Cas-
sino Polomeno, from whom members
of the "Blaek Hand demanded money
and who fought back with a revolver
Three shots were fired in the crowded
car, but no cna was hit. A policeman
disarmed both men and arrested them.
Giano was held on a charge of assault
and Polomeno was obliged to forego
his intended trip to Europe to appear
as a witness.

ACTION is UNEXPECTED.
France Considerably Disturbed by Mo.
roccan Developments.

Paris, Jan. 13.-The government is
considerably disturbed over the unex.
pected declaration of a holy war at
Fee and the proclamation of Mulaf
Hafid as sultan of Morocco. 1t is now
anxiously awaiting information as to
the number of tribes who will follow
the rebel sultan. Everything will de-
pend, It is explained, upon the strength
which Mulai Hafid develops. 1t is
pointed out also that France and
Spain, holding a mandate from the
powers, have no option but to recog-
nize Abdel Aziz as the legitimate sui
tan. He signed the Algeciras act for
Morocco and France and Spain will
have to treat with him and sustain
him so long as the off cial government
remains in his hands.
Should the rebel sultan become for.
midable 1t is conceivable that the
country might become divided, Mulai
Hafid being supreme in the interior
and Abdel Aziz, with the support of
France and Spain. ruling on the coast.
Such a situation might readily produce
international complications.
The immediate effect of the procla-
nation of Mulai Hafid as sultan is
certain to be the indefinite prolonga-
tion of the stay of the French and
Spanish troops in Morocco, which soon
were TO be withdrawn, as it would
now be impossible to confide the polio
ing of the ports to Abdel Aziz without
the safeguard of European troops.
Pending further developments, how
ever, the governments of France and
Spain will proceed with the installa-
ton OF a police force at Tangier and
Rabat, while General d'Armade, the
commander of the French forces in
Morocco, will proceed vigorously with
the work of pacifying the country
around Casa Blanca.
A special dispatch received here
from Tangier says the imperial troops
at Fee have announced their alle-
glance to Mulai Hafid. Hafid's par
tisans, in order to avoid a complete
rupture with the powers, are reported
to have declared their acceptance of
tho Alseciras act, but with certain
reservations.

ALL BEYOND MIDDLE AGE
Five Gray Heads Among Jurors in
ThaW Case.

New York, Jan. 13.-The twelve
men who will decide Thaw's fate are
all beyond middle age, there being
five gray heads in the jurybox. Ten
of them are married, the other two
being widowers, and practically all of
them are fathers of families. The
fact that the jury was finally accepted
without the attorneys using up all the
peremptory challenges allowed them
shows that both the prosecution and
the defense are satisfied The fact
that eight days was required TO com
plete the first jury, while the work
this time was accomplished in five, is
due in some measure to the night ses-
sions Of the court, which Justice Dow
ling insisted on holding.

PRINCE HENRY MAY RETIRE
VIII Quit Navy League Unless Its
Managing Director Resigns.

Berlin, Jan. 13--An official commu-
nication just issued sets forth that
Prince Henry of Prussia, brother of
Emperor William, and who represents
his majesty as patron of the Navy
league, has decided to retire from this
position in the event of Major General
Keim continuing as managing direc-
tor of the league.
This decision would appear to be a
result Of a recent lengthy conference
between Emperor William and Prince
Rupprecht of Bavaria, during which
the prince explained that his retire
ment from the Bavarian branch of the
league was due to the fact that Major
General Keim had made use of the
resources of the association for po-
litical purposes. The attitude taken
by the emperor undoubtedly will re-
suit in forcing Major General Keim to
resign.
1t is largely due to the efforts of
Major General Keim that the Navy
league has been brought to its pres
ent powerful position, with more than
100000 members. Keim, who re-
tired from the army ten years ago, is
man of extraordinary vigorous per-
sonality. After his retirement he con-
ceiyed it to be his patriotic mission to
assist in the creation of great Ger
man navy, and he followed this aim
passionately. His present embarrass-
ments are due to the theft year ago
from the central Office of the league
of certain private letters which indi-
Gated that he was opposing the Cen
trist candidates for election to the
rninhcinn
