Washington, d. G. Especially -
The attempt Of the Sultan of Moroc-
co to obtain foreign intervention In
the conflict between his country and
Spain was detailed in a dispatch
just made public from United States
Minister Dodge, at Tangier, to the
State Department. In a note ad-
dressed to the diplomatic corps the
Sultan, through his representative,
expressed his alarm at the large
Spanish force In the Riff territory,
saying that the report had arisen that
the Spanish governments object was
not limited to the punishment Of
those who killed certain mine labor
ers.
The Sultan maintained that Spain
had no right to administer punish
ment and requested the diplomatic
corps to inform their governments
that they may invite the attention
of the Spanish government in a
friendly manner to the danger in
cured by its action. Mr.. Dodge add
ed that the French Minister to Mo-
rocco. who Is dean Of the diplomatic
corps, was about to address a cir
Nuioi hONt " lnS say luB ludl
the French government did not con-
slider this case in which It could
take action.
Attention is called to the stipula-
tion in the Algeciras convention by
which the American representatives
at the conference disavowed on the
part of the United States, any in
terest in Morocco other than to Sc
cure for all peoples the widest equal
ity of trade and privilege in that
country and declared that the Uni
ted States would assume no respon-
sibility for the enforcement OF the
agreement.
1t is not thought, therefore, that
the United States will take any part
in the adjustment of this latest diff
ference between the Sultan and the
Spanish government.

New York Especially DIR. Fred
erick A. Cook. home from the Arctics
with the glory of being the 6rst man
to reach the North Pole, received a
welcome that was a triumphant ova-
tion six hours long.
Tanned and scanned by the Arctic
frost, his face wore a placid smile
throughout all the rousing riot OF
his enthusiastic reception. and the
only moment when he showed unus-
ual emotion was as he greeted his
wife and children aboard the little
tug that took him off the Scandina-
vian-American liner Oscar ID, which
brought him here from Copenhagen.
That which interested the public
most--his disclosure of the data on
which he bases his claim to the hon
or of reaching the Pole--was not
forthcoming.
II shall await events" DR.. Cook
said in the formal interview he pre-
pared before reaching port.
Il have not come here to enter
into arguments" he wrote in signed
statement prepared aboard the liner.
II am certain" he added, that
In due course of events all will be
compelled to admit the truth of my
statements"
His attitude was one of calm con-
hdence out Of which neither praise
nor challenge could jolt him.
Toward his rival, Commander
Peary, DR.. Cook was pleasantly toler-
ant.
He said he would submit his
proofs to the University of Copen-
hagen and then to the geographical
societies of the world and he was
sure of the result.
Then he remarked:
l will see Peary soon. And | will
be glad to receive him in my home"

New Orleans Especially Gradual.
ly New Orleans and the territory
surrounding the Crescent City Is re-
covering from the first effects of the
tropical hurricane. Fifty-five human
lives are now positively known to
have been claimed as victims of the
storm and 40 others are reported to
have been lost in Lower Terrebonne
parish, but as yet this report has
not been authenticated.
The property loss will run into
the millions. Miles of territory have
been laid waste and crops have prac-
tically been ruined. Dwellings, cot
ton gins and sugar mills have been
leveled.
News reached here that ten mcm-
bers of a party from Morgan City,
La. were killed in the hurricane.
They were in fishing camp in Ter
rebone, Parish.
The dead are: g.
Capt Charles Grant. two ladies'
and a child named Adams; three
children, names unknown; Taylor
Boyan and Robert Duger.
New Orleans is still sadly crippled
In the way of railroad facilities and

days the city's only outside COM
munication was over an improvised

fered heavy loss, miles of their

will be several weeks before the lat

The schooner was lost 10 miles
north of the Gilbert Islands. A
tropical squall came suddenly and
heeled the vessel over on her beam.
The ships company clung to the rig
ging. while several natives succeed
ed in releasing rowboat from the
wreckage, A couple of oars were
recovered, and all clambered into the
boat, abandoning the schooner. For
2 days the getaways drifted at the
mercy. of the wind and waves.
Before leaving the wreck Is CO.
coanuts were picked up, this being all
the food for nine adults and one
child for three weeks. Rain squalls
prevailed, and the missionary caught
rain in his oilskins and served ra-
tions on the cocoanut shells.
The castaways fell i'll and some
went mad Sharks in large numbers
followed the boat. On May 26 land
was sighted, and islanders assisted
the castaways to land on Eden Is
land.
Mr.. Walkup died soon after land
ing and was buried on the beach.
His wife and family returned to
America just before the fatal voyage
