Paris, April 24-After four days of
anxiety here due to lack of news from
Fee, where the populace and Moorish
soldiers mutinied some days ago and
attacked all foreigners, some account
of the trouble reached here Tuesday
1t is known 10 French officers and
40 soldiers were killed in the fight
ing, while Is civilians, all of them
French citizens, were massacred in
their bones or in the streets. Be
sides these four French officers and
20 soldiers were wounded and 100
Jews slain and large number wound
ed and mutilated.
A delegation of native troops had
an audience with the sultan to com
plain about the new military regula-
tons of the French. Upon LEAVING the
palace they captured and KILLED
French captain.
Then a general attack on the city
began, and native troops, urged to
fury by screaming women, stormed
through the streets, killing all the
French they met and pillaging every
where.
The mutineers reused the people by
declaring the sultan was a prisoner
and must be set free. The French
telegraphers sent the alarm to Tan
gier and held their office for four
hours, but were finally overcome and
slain The legation guards at length
restored order.
The absence Of dispatches from Fee
led to the belief that the uprising has
assumed serious proportions and that
the French troops were in danger of
losing control of the situation Dis
patches which were meager reported
500, rebels killed in desperate strug-
gle and the Imprisonment of 1000
more. All of the European residents
were gathered in the sultan's palace,
where French troops, aided by rein
forcements from the barracks at West
Mekinese, were on guard.
