Letter From Perdicaris.
Tho London Mail publishes a lecter
written to A. J. Dawson, tho novelist
and traveler, by Ion Perdicaris, the
American citizen who was captured by
Raisull, tho Moroccan bandit. It is
dated at Tssaradon, June 4 and says:
"Nothing more startling and unex
pected than tho circumstances of our
capture could be Imagined. A quiet
domestic dinner without guests, the
windows open, the table a mass of
flowers; then Suddenly, like an aval
anche, tho yelling onset of Raisull's
men it was a classic scene of rapine
and confusion; por would it be easy to
conceive a picture more wild and
gloomy than our forced journey; in
fuel the libretto was perfect.
"It is easy now to write in this
strain when we are assured that nego
tiations for our release nre conclud
ing, hut during the terrible 21 hours
ride over rocks and boulders and in
uense thickets, where our captors had
at times literally to cut their way in
order to avoid villages on the beaten
track well, wo had no such consola
tion then, none of nny sort Indeed.
"We have learned that Raisuli'-j
chief object Is to secure the release of
members of his own Kabyle, unjustly
or at least treacherously entrapped
and Imprisoned by tho Hashaw of Tan
gier a former friend and foste.-
brother of Raisull, who had trustee;
this man an 1 ha.) been betrayed. What
ever 111 ho may have done the fact re
mains that ho was betrayed.
"Another startling surprise Is tc
find in Raisull himself the most Inter
esting and kln.liy hearted native gen
tleuian it has been my good fortune tt
have known, tl is Impossible not tc
like the man, conscious as I am of tlx
injury all at Tangier suffered at his
bands."
