SULTAN OP MOnOCCO. Africa am,
tlie slate elepartmcnt nt Washington arc
cngtujeel lu negotiations with n v low te
petting him out, The territory vvliereln
this act, se offenslve te the American jiee
pie, or at least te the consul, has taken
place. Is en the northwest coast of Africa.
Its situation U host fixcel In the intntlq of
theso who are net especially vcrstil In
geography by nellng that its coast line
begins about CeO miles east of Gibraltar,
en the southern fihoreof the Medltcrra
tiean sea, and extends southwesterly frfiin
Gibraltar about 7.r0 mllci mero en the
Atlantic ocean, giving it a roast line
of 1,000 miles. The Allan mountains,
lying nlieut COO mllca In the hit
rier, extend northwest and neuthwest,
nearly parallel with the roast. It Is
generally supposed that the cllmate of
Morocco 'Is no het that no ene but cop
per colored natlie'i can llve there, and
the sultan Is usually pictured with slaves
fanning him nnd holding something ever
him which leeks very lil;e n gigantic
feather duster, te screen him from the
Etui. But en tlie slope extending north
west en the Atlas mountains te the const,
the cllmate is tempernte and delightful
A pleasant sea breeze prevails during the
greater part of the year, anil the het
winds from the great desert, which forms
the interior of northern Africa, nre Inter
repted by the Atlas mountains. Kveti at
the city of Morocco the thermometer nevcr
rises above 95 degs and in winter doesn't
fall below 40 degs. Snow never falls
there, but up in the mountains there are
glaciers eer which the winds passing,
are pleasantly tempered, though some semo seme
times they make the nights tee cold for
comfort. If tlie United Slates were n
colony founding country. It might Ikj well
te pick n quarrel with the sultan of
.Morocco and ap
propriate the terri
tory, for under nn

ernmeut It

Besides tliese llax, licinp and tobacco may
be raised.
Tlie present sultnu, SMI Mulal Hassan,
is an old fashluiieil Oriental despot, Hu
is C7 years old, though he has only reigned
since he was 40. Of ceurse he is a Moham
medan and u direct descendant of the
prophet, but the mothers In his fnmlly
liave always lx-en black slaves; conse
quently he is very dubky.
it may be interesting te Amei leans te
knew, lu view of the possible ditllculties
with this barbarian, that he has sluce thla
occasion completely reorganized his army,
and has armed ills infantry with Martini
Henry rifles, his cavalry with AYlnehes
tcrs, and has made purchases of Krupp
guns. He has uUe purchased machinery
for the manufacture of jruiis and cart
rldj;es, but his ambition in this matter
outstripped the mechanical skill of his
people, for they didn't knew hew te use
the machinery after they get It. The sul
tan's right hand man is Kald MucLeau, a
Scotchman, us his uame Indicates, and it
is he wheudxihisl tlie sultan in the reor
ganization of his uuny. In the event of a
war, if tlie United States bheuld net rulbe
her present regular army, bhe would Ikj
Bbeut evenly matched bv Mulal Hassan,
wheEIfrmi.tliIiitj ever '.50,000 Infuntry.
As te thonSAtef'BfHiMxtwe powers, sluce
neither has any worth fcpcakingef they
are nlr.e In this respect about etvtuly
matched.
The sultan having imitated I'lirepeans
in the matter of army and implements of
war, doesn't think It Itest te go any fur
ther Uurepean courts of juslice are net
se attractive te him If he wants a ploce
of property belonging te an of ids sub
jects he takes it, without any trouble,
whereas, if he had ceuits, it would be
necessary te cut off the heads of the judge
and jury us a preliminary te a valid eon
voyauce. As it is, when the owner ob
Jects it is only necessary te deeapitate
him, and a geed title Is eequlred. Tlie
consequence of tlie sultan's ability in this
respect is that his ilchest subjects en
dcaver te hide their vteulth or te becure
the protection of seme foreign consul or
te ally themselves in trade with seme
foreigner. Kacli foreign consul is entitled
by law te u certain number of pretege? or
clients among tlie sultan's native subjects,
Whose goods are thus protected from
teizure.
It la under this sj stein of protection
that the present dispute bet v ecu the
United Slates and Morocco arises. Mr.
Lewis, the American consul at Tangier,
gets Inte a dispute with reference te his
native preteges, several of whom with
barbarous Moorish names w ere despoiled
of tlielr goods and ene of them thrown
into prison, The consul demands restltu
lien, which is denied or deluved, a Unites
States gunboat appears epku,n'''lv l'ttl..
liaroer and the war cloud duikens.
The ditilculty seems te lle rather In the
system of protecting consular preteges
than lu a question of tlie rights of un
American citizen. This sj stem has grown
up te be very widespread from n small le
ginning. Tlie treaty of Madild gave the
light te wholesale merchants te protect
i we native brokers lu every town in which
they trade It is expressly stipulated that
thete brokers should be employed lu the
wholesale trade, but thcre is really Httle

Jacob Sharp himself was a viry dlfTercut

Idea suggested by the iilcknarne. He prob
ably had no mero Idea of doing eny great
moral wrong when he brilied the aldermen
than when he lmught a plcce of land; he
simply considered that great public 1m
jirevcniint by which he would Ikj lncl
dentally enriched was prevented by
seme obstructionists, that they must be
bought liefore the improvement could be
made, that such was the custom of this
country and that the tiotem was se well
established that no ene would seriously
object. Hut just ut that time there hap
pened te 1h) a spasm of publie virtue; se
"Jnke" vi ns nabbed and gees Inte history
as the boss of the IkmhIIits.
Socially he w as a very pleasant man nnd

he could get through his work in the city,

brotherhood players are opposed te the

keep up the pace they set in the smaller
clubs thi-y will preve valuable acquisi

hotly contested between the Dctreits,

BOLD 0ANDITS THAT INFEST THE
QUEEN OF THE ANTILLE3.
A Strnnse filnle or Thine Within a Dny'a
.Tenrnfjr or tlie UnlUil Slate Half Wild
JVaiiU nnel Town Itenstn Tnl.lnf le
llrlcunilege.
Tales of briRnndnge In Cuba during the
past few years hnve reached New Yerk
from time te time, but the true situation
Is net known save te theso who llve en the
Island itself, and it hns liccome se familiar
te these as te have liltle novelty. It Is
largely the result of the present almost
bankrupt condition of the ence proud nnd
wealthy Quecn of thn Antilles. Poverty
Is new almost universal save among the
planters and mci chants In the cities, and,
unable te obtain n livelihood save by the
prccnrleus nnd scarcely remunerative oc
cupations et cock fighting and lottery
ticket selling, which appear te the tourist
te be the main occupations et the Cubans,
many of the halt wild iicasants of the In
terior and roughs of the towns hnve taken
te brigandage. They nre most numerous
in the central part of tlie island, between
Matanzes en the north nnd Clcnfueges en
the south, making their lairs in the woeels
nnd hills of the center et tbe Island and
operating en the reads every place where
thcre is nny chnuce of wealthy persons
passing.
The eastern end of tire island has been
singularly free from bandits, nnd travel
through Its still virgin forests nnd lefty
volcanic mountains Is comparatively safe.
The Gunrdka Clvlle, ns the Spanish
reldlery is called, make periodical incur
sions from Mulanas nnd ether cities
against the bandits, but ns n rule tliese
raids hnve Httle result, it is mero than
hinted that thcre is an understanding be
tween the soldiers nnd tlie bandits. The
Spanish government is nlwnj's behind
hand In its payment et Its Cuban soldiers'
wages, and there Is n general impression
that tlie soldiers make up for deferred or
unpaid wages by n Ehnre in the ransom
paid by seme wealthy planter for his re
lease from captivity. Net that tlie
(iunrdla Civile nre always unfaithful!
A lll!i:.l)i:i) 1UNDIT CHIEF.
"Matugas," said our Informant, "Is
new the bandit chief most feared. Jie is
a mulatto and rules his followers abso
lutely. He changes ids location con
stantly and has been rather quiet of late,
but w e mny hear of him at nny time, lle
has placed n prlce of $50,000 en tlie per
sona of the Messrs. Stewart, who own the
well knew n sugar plantation, 'It Caro
lina,' near this city, nnd these gentlemen
hnve been obliged te use much caution in
going te and from their plantation en
their visits te the city."
"Tell us about Scner Casanova," we
nsked.
"Well, Scner Casanova was driving
through the back country ene nfternoen
in n velnnte, ever n rough nnd lonely
read, w hen the bandits suddenly nppeareil
from the cheppnrul. They surrounded
the vnlunte se quickly that he could de
nothing but surrender nt ence. They
ordered him te mount it mule, nnd nt his
protestations that he was sulferliig from
iv bladder complaint nml that it would
kill him te ride they only laughed. They
carried him oil ten Uttle hut in the moun
tain nnd kept hlin there rt week. The old
gentleman, from the complaint above
described, could only subsist en milk, nnd
ns the bnneUts could net furnish this he
nearlj died befere he was ransomed."
4'Hevr did they ransom lilin?"
"The bandits hud n nole conveyed
secretly te his friends demanding
$8,000 for Ids ransom within n week.
Tills his friends lalseil and sent by n
trusted messenger le it pUce ngrcetl upon.
Seuer Casanova wan produced, the money
paid ever nnd tlie baudll w he received it
disappeared ns suddenly ns if tlie eartli
had swallowed him. Casanova says that
he was net treated badly duilng his short
captivity, but Imagine ids state et mind
nnd susiicuse during the days he was a
cuptlvel"
"Hns no concerted action been taken te
apprehend tliese baudits throughout the
Island?"
"Ne. Itisnseit et local option with
different places whether they can elrlve
them nwny or net. We're nil growing se
peer, however, thnt unless j-eur geed nnd
great Unele Sam will pity and annex us
the bandits will seen suppress themselves
for vvuut of prey.
itCAD tiicvi a irerrnni:.
"One place, hew ever, has rid Itself of
the pest, nnd in tills way. Ven knew it
Is very rarely that n Cuban becomes nn
officer in the Spanish nrnij-. The position
Is net considered worthy of nmbltlen by n
Cuban, nnd will net be as long ns the two
iieeplcs dislike entli ether as they de new.
But In this place a son of it well known
Cubsn fnmlly wns an officer In tlie Ciuurdhi
Clvlle. He pursued and caught n body et
Imudlts, Cubans like himself. Then he
reml them it lecture in tills wise:
" 'Yeu knew me nnd veu kuew I under-
stnnd jour position. IsjmputhlVa with
j-eur poverty and knew the wretched gov
ernment has made jour calling possible,
but I de net BjiiipalhUe with jour law
lessness. I'll release jeu new only ou
your solemn oath that you'll leave tills
district nt once, if I hear of any of jeu
here ngnln I'll shetvjnu no mercy.' He
meant what he s ild, nnd that district wns
troubled lie mere."
"Hew are these bandits nrmcelf"
"Very iioerly ns it lule. They hnve old
fashioned muskets nnd new nnd then n
ritle. It is net their weapons, but their
familiarity with tlie country nnd its hid
ing plates mid the fact tli.it they have
relatives and f i lends nnd sj mpathizers lu
most of the villages, and even lu the
cities, that make them at nil formidable
with the wretches! soldiery we hav e. A
squid of I'liitetl States cnvulrj' could

"Net In the least. Tliese bandits de
net Interfeie with the railroad trains, en
which n squad of seldleis ulwnjs traved,
mere ns it matter of form than nuj thing
else, and the bandits nre net te be feaied
en the lieateu line's of travel. Besides,
they de net lie lu wait for n tourist. They
generally learn or knew nil about their

The mistake Is frequently made of nil
vising subjects of heart disease te keep
absolutely quiet This is nil wrong.
Kxerclse in moderation is beneficial, nnd
protracts Ihe course et tbe dUcase. The
muscular substance of the heart, like all
ether muscles, neetls exercise, nnd must
have It, otherwlbe it cannot keep up its
nutrition te the highest point possible.
