TETUAN, Morocco, February 9.— Details of the attack of the Riffian tribesmen against the Yebalas, which culminated in the capture of the ban- 4it leader Raisuli at Tazarut a week ago, are being brought to this city through native channels, indicating that 33 Riffians were killed and many wounded before the Yebalas surren- dered. The Riffians looted Tazarut, Rafsull’s stronghold, and found many treasures which the bandit chief had accumulated during his many xears of conquest in Morocco. Priceless rugs, jewels, silks and other valuabl objects were seized, and it was re ported the Riffians got 5,000,000 pese tas of Raisuli's money.

Raisuli was ordered transferred to Axdir, his general headquarters, and special arrangements were made to transport him because of his illness. He was carried in a great chair, borne’ by two mules and sufrounded by an armed escort. According to last reports, the con- voy had reached Taguesut, where Raisull is said to have come face to face with Abd-El-Krim, the rebel leader. Raisuli's relatives are skeptical concerning the bandit's fate.

Primo de Rivera, president of the Spanish directorate, announced on Thursday that he had received a re- port of the death of Raisuli while he was being conveyed to Sheshuan by the Riffians. = The report, however, lacked confirmation.

AMUSE Newman's Traveltalk. E. M. Newman closed his travel- talk lectures at the National Theater vesterday with “Java and Sumatra,” both in the afternoon and night What the Dutch have done for Su- matra was plctured in many and motion films, beginning with a motor trip over the island that took in market places and the daily life of the natives, at work and at play. A visite to the Bataks “at home" gave intimate knowledge of their curious village life and habits and of quaintly decorated hous most of them open. to straw-thatched roofs; many of them rising from the water. Pictures of Sumatra tobacco, its cultivation, curing, stripping and assorting, show many natives at work in supplying millions of cigars to the world. In and around Lake Toba there are rubber plantations wned by American companies— 'whenee come our tires.” At Batavia, in Java, Is shown “the world's finest botanical garden,” a visit to the home of the governor and later views of a fine city under Dutch domination. Tours are made to tea fields, a rice paddy and to cinchona forests which supply 90 per cent of the world’s quinine. At Djokja, quaintest of Javanese cities, the lecturer was a guest of the sul- tan. The sarimpi dance, gracefully performed by royal princesses, was a feature of the visit. In another na- tive state the speaker was enter-| tained by the Sultan of Solo in his | palace, and another dance by the “Ziegfeld Follies” of Java was in- cluded, also a marvelous performance of ancient archers. As a climax to the thrills and beauties of the traveltalk is shown a motion picture of the sunrise from the craters of Bromo—'"a magnifi- cent sight amid the smoking volea- noes of Bromo and Smoero.” Belasco—"Tangletoes.” Making its first bow to an audience at the Shubert-Belasco Theater last night, angletoe: styled “a mod- ern American play,” drew itself through three half-good, half-poor acts and, departing, left behind the definite impression that proper prun- ing and revision might translate it into a fairly presentable vaudeville sketch, With all its vagaries, however, “Tangletoes” has a neat symbolical twist. The symbol is a doll, repre- senting the heroine, Francie, -as sh was in the title role of “Tangletoe a musical comedy. The doll repre- sents the bright-life and gay life.

In *Rose-Marie” these diversi- ties are gathered up as if by the hand of a great weaver and so deftly woven into the warp and woof of his fabric that there grows a pattern of sturdy beauty. Delicacies of romantic lyric- ism intertwine with the robustness of the most modern comedy and even melodrama. ‘Through it all there trisk dance ‘choruses of pretty girls, lavishly presented, lithe, limber, ca- pricious and beautifully costumed.
