KIDNAPPED AMERICAN CITIZEN
"Perdiearls Alive or RaIsuil Dead"
Was ultimtum Purportins to
Have Emanated from the
State Department.

IL is reported that Raisuli,. governor
of Djebala province and former Moor.
ish bandit chief. is dead as the result
Of being poisoned
Mulai Ahmed Ben Mohemmed err.
Raisuli was an ordinary farmer In his
early life, but several years ago took
20 brigandage. He became the leader
OF band of experts in cattle stealing
and was a terror TO caravans. from
which tribute was exacted.
Several years ago DR.. Walter X. Har-
ris, correspondent OF n London news
paper and friend OF the Moroccan
sultan. was captured by the bandits
and held by Raisul for a ransom OF
$4,000. Harris refused to pay IL and
the sultan sent force of troops after
the bandits, but they escaped, and
Harris finally obtained his freedom
by paying the ransom after headless
body had been thrown into his tent.
Two years later Raisull seized Ion
Perdicaris, native OF New Jersey.
which was the occasion OF the dispatch
OF United States squadron TO the
Moroccan coast and the alleged ulti-
matum purporting to have emanated
from the state department. "Perdi.
carts alive or Raisuli dead"
This caused great enthusiasm at the
Republican national convention in Chi.
cago which nominated Mr.. Roosevelt
for president The bandit, however,
eventually obtained the ransom de-
manded.
Raisuli's next exploit was to cap
ture an Englishman. Kaid Sir Harry |
MacLean, the adviser OF the sultan. |
Mclean was held for seven months
and finally released on the promise OF
the payment OF 100000.
Raisuli was appointed governor OF
the province of Djebala year ago.
and at that time promised TO renounce
the ransom paid on behalf OF Mae.
Lean.
