to penetrate far into tlie country prevents pursuit of thu fanatics and results in a waiting game. Meantime the state of .Morocco’s internal affairs Is growing worse. Veritable chaos reigns and the government has degenerated into a mere modi administration. Mulni Huf'g, the newly proclaimed sultan, who is reported to be f marching toward the coast to light tin* French ami Spanish troops, lias appointed a ministry, a member of which Is Mulni Xidi Mohammed, another brother of thoactuaistiltau. Mulni Sadi is now held a prison bv the sultan at Fez. . Anarchy Pervades the Country. Ittitsuli controls Ins'own region, and the pi et.oilier rules northeast Morocco. The stilt.in is not sure of Tils own followers. and anarchy pervades the empire. The littoral towns are tranquil because of the presence of foreign warships, but Hnlmt is reported to be constantly menaced by tribesmen who are ready to swoop down upon It at the first opportunity. KuropAn.fi dare not pass outside the walls of Rabat and other cities.

The Journal des Debats in an editorial as to the —effect of M. •'’lemeneeati's return on the Moroccan situation, says: “He knows the sentiments of the sovereigns and tli(> dispositions of the chancellors. He ought to know that polities today not only are most uncertain but also most costly, and that calm and- conservatism are essential.” SPANISH CABIN ET DISAGRKKS Member* Not In Accord u to the Attitude of Spain. Madrid. AUg. 2d.—The newspapers have agreed that adivergence of views exists in the cabinet as to the Spanish government’s attitude In Morocco. While certain of the ministers indorse the course that is being pursued others, it is alleged, hold that the role created by the Algeeiras conference differs from that actually being played by Spain. According to The Liberal Premier Maura announced to the members of the cabinet that Spain would take the offensive only if her troops were directly attacked, and that otherwise she would rest merely as a spectator of the internal conflicts that are rending Morocco, and of what France does if the troops of that country advance Into the interior. A dispatch from Casablanca says that absolute fearlessness continues to characterize the attacks delivered by the tribesmen upon the French forces encamped there, and Friday bands of Arabs madeisolated reckless advances. A detachment of 100 natives, while stealing in tojratd tlie clty* was am-
