BA HOUGH ENOUGH diamonds are annually dug in the wilds of Brazil to largely supply the markets of Europe, the world knows nothing whatever about how and where the gems are ob- tained, or the relative richness andextent of the mines, and as to the Brazilian newspapers — you might search them —= from end to end every being able to find & word of ning news.

As reported in Tux Sram several weeks ago, on the information of the Austrian end English Press, the Mofocco- question has grown into Prominence and it is just now at the critical int when European interference seems justi- led. In fact, after the report of uscless fighting against the rebels the news comes that the of the Sultan Benhasin have been beaten by the Berbers, who followed them within three miles of Tangiers, routing the regular Moorish cavalry that hati been sent to protect the retreat. Considerable excitement prevails in the city, as it ie feared that the tribesmen in the first flush of their victory may attempt an attack upon the city. A cable dispatch from the threatened city says that European residents are much alarmed for several reasons, f¢ the fanatic mobs inside and from the Angherians outside, so that they insist on the dispatch of European vessels Protect them and their property. ‘The native troops threaten ta shoot any European who approaches the camp. It is, therefore, to be expected that events will come to a focus within a short time, cuusing European troops to d in case the sultan’s forces, already demor- alized, should give in after another defeat. Ten vessels—cruisers, torpedo boats and iron- clads—-are reported to be plying glong the coast of Morocco. ‘The bine Jackets ‘are said to be kept in readiness for any emergency, especially the English and the Spaniards, though Italy, Germany and France are represented there. A rumor is afloat relative to the mission of Sir Euan Smith that Tealy, Austria and Gorm will grant their co-operation to England. A French’ governmental newspaper takes different view of the —_ situation, ing that even though Premier Ribot, the ‘French minister of foreign affairs, has expressed no general approval of the treaty proposed by Great Britain to Mo- rocco, no nation will be allowed to land troops in Morocco except with the censent of all Euro- n nations interested in the matter, It is lurther stated that England will not be allowed to carry out the same policy through which she secured Egypt, and that a close watch is being kept on her movements on the coast of Mo- rocco. Meanwhile the English press insists that in case of sempus disorders the action of Sir Euan Smith and the Moorish hostile mani- festations against his camp must be followed by rapid military operations.
