The only American in the race was Marden, who drove an American car. The motors went off at a very fast pace, the leaders doing a mile a minute. They all completed the first circuit safely with the exception of Opel, Swiss, who was obliged to retire owing to a broken shaft. Jenatxy, however, narrowly escaped a catastrophe, early in the race, in the bottom of n long straight incline, approaching the Tillage of Wehrhclm.

The authorities hope that the landing of some Moorish troops here yesterday will not upset the arrangements and tills Is now the only thing which thretU-en- s difficulties. As stated in these dispatches yesterday, the troops are of the worst type, and though they were ostensibly sent by the sultan for the protection of Europeans, the residents of the city continue uneasy liecause the troops had no discipline whatever and endanger life and properly.

Washington, June 17. In a cablegram today to the state department, Consul Gummere at Tangier, indicated that the bandit Raituill, owing to (he subservience of the Moorish officials, had exaggerated hts dnnanda to a point where they have become ridiculous. It is quite certain that this government will not comply with any of the demands that relate to Itself and cannot fislstently require the anltan to do as Raisull asks It ia admitted that If the bandit chief means to carry out his threats, the captives Perdicaris and Varley are in great peril. Even their Uvea, however, are not regatTtl as a sufficient stake to warrant this government in establishing the dangerous precedent that would follow the granting of the demands of Raisull, fo( with the strong temptation thus offered to the lawless tribesmen of Morocco, no foreigners there would be safe. Washington, June 17.

London, June 18. The correspondent of the Dully Telegraph at Tangier un der date of June 17th, gives the correspondence which passed at the visit to Raisull by J. W. Langerman, commissioner for the Moroccan section of the St. Louis exposition. Raiaull declined to negotiate with Langerman, beoause tbe matter waa already in the hands of Mohammed V Torres and the representatives of tbe nations Interested. Mr. Perdicaris, writing to Commissioner Langerman. under date of June 10, aays that he spoke to Raisull on the subject of Mr. Lan german's mission but that he did not know whnt the bandit's reply would be. Mr. Perdicaris added: 1 know that tbe question of supplies is a serious one. Raisull has more people cm his hands than the place can accommodate." The correspondent of the Dally Mall Tangier says: ft The ruffianly Moorish troops are still here, despite the strong protest lodged with the suthorltles by Great Britain and the United States. It Is stated that the Americans are prepared to occupy the town with a thousand men unless the sultan withdraws thess soldiers.

With a reward of $2,3t)0 banging over each of the bandits engaged in tbe bolding up and dynamiting of tho North Coast limited train on the Northern tactile road last night, and with a number of ponses in wliat is believed to be a close pursuit, not a word has come up to 11 o'clock tonight to indicate the capture of the gang.

The opinion grows tbat will help tbe robbers accomplices them in covering their tracks while the exactness with which the whole thing lias been carried out leads many to believe that before morning they will have reached a previously prepared hiding place. A special from Butte, Mont., says: The men who held up the North Coast limited last night, near Bearmouth, secured (65,000 from the express company's safe, which they dynamited. The safe was billed from the coast to Chicago. Kid Curry, the former Montana desperado, ia leading a posse after the train robbers.
