FRANCE MAY SEND ARMY

Government Is Not Decided
Whether to Intervene in
Present Situation.

PARIS, April 20.-The situation in
Morocco resulting from the rebellion
against Sultan MuIai Haid has led to
talk of French intervention by sending
an army to the gates Of Fee. The
French government, however, has not
reached any decision of this nature.
For the moment France will merely
reinforce her troops in the Chaouia
district. This government adheres
strictly to the Algeciras conference
agreement.
Differences With Spain.
MADRID. April 20.-Persistent reports OF
differences between Spain and France
relative to the handling Of the Moroccan
situation are emphasized by various
newspapers, which criticise the Franco
Spanish entente regarding Morocco, and
foresee rapprochement and even accord
between Spain and Germany.

however. were delayed in transmission
indicated that there was much idleness
misery and discomfort in that city, and
that troubles within the walls were
feared. The situation was causing great
alarm to the authorities week ago. Fee
Is surrounded by the adherents Of various
tribes and the city is threatened with a
famine.

LONGWORTH FOR BERLIN.
His Name Mentioned as Successor to

While President Taft has not decided
definitely upon a successor to Ambassa-
dor Hill at Berlin, one name that he is
expected to consider is that OF Repre-
sentative Longworth of Ohio. Mr.. Long
worth Is understood to be willing to en-
ter the diplomatic service. having spent
about all the time he cares to in Con-
gress or political life. Both he and Mrs.
Longworth, who was Alice Roosevelt,
are intimate friends of the President.
One objection that might be made to his
appointment to such an important post
as that at Berlin would be his inexperi-
ence in diplomatic affairs.
II not selected for Berlin, however, Mr..
Longworth may be chosen to fill some
other important post.
