Show The Sultan of Morocco seems determined deter-mined to do all that he can to effect the release of Perdlcaris and Varlcy; he yields to Raisull's demand for the appointment ap-pointment of his friend to be governor of the district; and he authorizes the acceptance ac-ceptance of the demand for immunity, the remission of taxes, and so on. This can mean nothing else than that he consldera the case one Tor immediate results, and that on the release of the captives he will set on foot or authorize measures to clear out the whole robber district. The means td be taken for this may be a Joint military expedition by Morocco and France acting together, or possibly it might be a Joint punitive expedition by Morocco, France. Great Britain and the United States. At any rate, it Is Inconceivable that the Sultan of Morocco should be content as a per manent proposition, to consent that a brigand chief should have what amounts to an Independent state of hlB own pet up in his dominions. Raisull In demanding so much, has sealed his own doom. And If the great nations arc In fact working together in this matter, ns they are reported to be doing, then that doom Is sure. |
