Cut Off

FEE. Morocco. April so-(By Courier
to Tangier. May e)-The arrival OF Cap
tain Bremond's French column has not
changed the situation and the invest
ment Of the capital continues. The rebel
horsemen. who are beyond reach Of ar
tillery. have cut off the food supplies.
The sultan's troops are worn out with
the constant skirmishing and watchful-
ness.
The rebel chiefs have a growing moral
advantage since now all Morocco knows
that the sultan is penRed up in the cap
ital and that his loyal troops are unable
to move outside the range Of their ar
tillery. The rebels are now obtaining
the upper hand throughout the country.
Tribes heretofore loyal are joining the
rebellion through fear that the villages
OF those refusing win be raided.
The arrival OF the French relief expe-
dition will secure the entry of provisions
and the safety of the capital, but the
political outlook is confused and uncer-
tain.
