In 1899 dispatches said he was leading an uorising in the interior of Somali- and, and it was suggested that "a military promenade be taken against him That promenade rrew into a desultory campaign which took three years and cost the British government SIS, 5,00O,O0O. Ev- en then, his power was only tenn porarily broken by the battle of JAdballi, for he fled with the rem rants of his forces to Italian terri tory, destroying wells as he went ;'isd thus making pursuit impossi- ble
 While he was only one of the lesser religious chiefs of his coun- try, his pilgrimage to Mecca and his zeal in preaching the Moslem faith augmented his influence until he had collected large army, in which were some of the best fight ing tribes in that part of Africa. He preached war for the protec- fion of Islam and advocated the determination of whites, and with the increase of his power began a crusade, aided by dervishes, which finally extended over the whole of Somaliland.
 As the result of an agreement reached in December; 1905, between Great Britain and Italy to offer the Mullah an assignment of a settled sphere in Samililand, together with grazers' rights in certain parts of British and Italian territory, he undertook to observe peace toward Great Britain and Italy.
 His next outbreak of consequence was in 1910, when he started a ferocious campaign against the sul- tanates under British protection, and slaughtered hundreds of tribes men friendly to the British. Wide areas were laid waste and towns razed- The natural obstacles of the torrid desert country, combined with the Mullah's faanaticism won

SPANISH LABORERS
 ARE SEEKING NEW
 HOMES IN AMERICA

MADRID. March 19--The appli- cations for passports for America received at the American consulate in Madrid has, since the begining of the year. exceeded all recent rec ords. Most of the applicants come from the province of Salamanca, some of the smaller villages of which have been practically depopulated owing to the departure of these emigrants. They are chiefly farm iaborers, with a fair sprinkling, however, of skilled artisans, brick layers especially being attracted by the wages in America.
 Some of the emigrants take their families with them. The majority, however, either wait until they have prepared a home for them, or gather a little fortune together and return to Spain to live on the in come, increased little by working small plot of land. Often, how ever, even these return to the con- sulate for a second wise to go across and when asked for how long they want it, invariably reply, for ever"
