BANDITS BIG GAME] HOLDS UP THE SULTAN OF MO- ROCCO FOR A SUBORDINATE KINGDOM. i! SULTAN READY TO PAY RANSOM BUT UNWILLING TO YIELD TO POLITICAL AMBITIONS OF RAISULI. FRANCE WILL fAKE A HAND MINISTER AT TANGIER INSTRUCT- ED TO WORK FOR RELEASE OF CAPTIVES. Paris, June 1. — Foreign Minister Deleasse, in consequence of a com- munication from the state department at Washington, transmitted through Ambassador Porter, has_ telegraphed instructions to the French minister at Tangier to use his utmost endeavors to obtain the release of Ion Perdicaris and Cromwell Varley. American officials are hopeful that French influence with the Moroccan government, together with the pres- ence of the American fleet at Tangier, will secure an adjustment of the af- fair. Reports through French official channels show that Raisuli’s demand for Rarisom Is $70,000. The American view is that if the ransom should be paid through the family of Perdicaris, Raisuli could be dealt with subsequently and the money restored to the family, but French of- ficials who are familiar with the situ- ation in Morocco are less sanguine of a settlement, owing to claims that Raisuli has put forward which threat- en to raise political and international entanglements. According to information reaching the foreign office he requires the sul- tan to give him a subordinate king- dom, with the Right to Levy Taxes throughout a region embracing thirty- eight square kilometers, lying directly along the main route from Tangier to Fez. Officials say Raisuli would there- by become one of the dominant polit- ical factors in Morocco. Moreover Raisuli’s demand that he may levy taxes on travelers on the main route to the capital is consid- ered untenable. Reports received show that the sultan is ready to pay the rausom, but 1s unwilling to yield to the political ambitions of Raisuli. However, the French minister at Tan- gier secured the release of a French - man held under similar circumstances by enlisting the influence of chiefs of tribes and the sheriffian authorities, and hope that similar influence will prevail now. Hay Takes a Hand. Washington, June 1.—Careful con- sideration was given by the cabinet yesterday to the matter of the cap- tivity of Perdicaris and Varley. Sec- retary Hay presented the latest ad- vices from Consul Gummere at Tan- gier. It is known that secretary Hay presented some matters of the utmost importance. Rear Admiral Chadwick, command- ing the South Atlantic squadron at Tangier, cables: “The seizure of the American citizen was by insurgent chief, so as to bring pressure on the sultan of Morocco to secure the de- mands of the tribe. Other sense of the gravity of the case is shown by the presence of the American squad- ron and will undoubtedly cause the earlier Yielding by the Sultan \ of Morocco to the demands of the in- surgents, which is the only safe means of releasing captive.” There is the highest authority for the statement that an attack on Tangier or an expedition against the brigands will be followed by the im- mediate murder of the captives. At the instance of Secretary Hay instructions will be sent to Rear Admiral Chad, wick for the present, pending the re- sult of the representations of Ambas- sador Porter at Paris to the French government requesting the exercise of its good offices in obtaining the re- lease of the captives. If Rasouli executed his threat of killing his captives, the United States government will insist that he be run down and executed at any cost.

Pittsburg, Pa., June 1—Irvin Wise, a mechanical engineer, shot Katie Craft through the heart, instantly killing her, and then killed himself.

A detail of men was sent from the post to assist in the capture of the mutineers. With the aid of-the local police officers all but four of the men are in custody.

Services Were as Simple as It Was Possible to Make Them. Beaver, Pa., June 1. — All that is mortal of Senator Matthew Stanley: Quay was carried to the little burial plot in Beaver cemetery yesterday af- ternoon and buried beside the bodies of his children.
