PRICE lc ALL MOROCCO BURSTING INTO FLAME OF REVOLT The Situation as Dangerous to Native Authorities as to Europeans PRETENDER ROUSING T If the Revolt Now in Progress Con tinues it Will Be Necessary for the Powers Charged With Maintaining Peace to Shell Many Cities, and in ,''- the End French Army May Have to Be Sent into the Country When Fighting Reaches the Interior the Situation Will Be fJrave The Tribesmen Are Ferocious and Will Fight to the Death. (Special Cable to The Times.) Tangier, Aug. 9. The situation in Morocco today Is extremely menacing, and hourly developments promise to keep France and Spain busy for a long time, possibly years. Uprisings are occurring throughout Morocco. The people are turning against the authorities of the cities, and if the movement continues to progress it will probably be necessary for the powers charged with maintaining peace to shell or invade many cities. The opinion prevails here that a general revolt is now in progress, stirred up by tho pretender, who has been warring against the troops of the sultan for some time. This re volt, It Ib expected, will 'spread Into Algiers aud will eventually direct the eyes of the world to, the entire north of Africa. It will no doubt be neces sary for France to send an army into the country to put down the revolt. The pretender Is having no diffi culty In Inciting the people to rebel lion, and tie has the support of the wild and fanatic tribesmen who are a particular "menace to the country. The shelling of Casa Blanca and Maz agan by the French ships has been used as an argument to bring about a general uprising. A Dangerous Situation. The situation now is as dangerous for the Moroccan authorities as It has been for the Europeans. The au thorities have been able to check in a measure the revolts against the Europeans, preventing the attacks frnm holder ppnernl Tha trlhaamen n o - - - - - - - will not be restrained longer, how ever, and while there is no relenting In the bitterness toward Europeans, the authorities are regarded asi an enemy of equal Importance. The ris ing of the people of Magazan against the Kaid precipitated the bombard ment of that city, Magazan now lies in ruins, its walls battered down and most of its buildings In ashes. The streets are covered with dead Moors. Casa Blanca is reported as quiet, but the authorities and Europeans are not sanguine that it will remain so. Tribesmen are hanging about the out skirts, and desultory firing can be heard. . ' '.-.'.' , The natlvo troops are regarded as unreliable, and the greatest anxiety Is felt here for the coast towns. If the anticipated general outbreak occurs, the results will be most seri ous. It Is rumored from Mogador that a fanatical priest, at the head of a thousand wild tribesmen, is march ing on that city, aud that massacres are expected. A French cruiser has been ordered to prevent trouble, or, if it develops, to shell the place. No half measures, will be used by either France or Spain, for the grave nature of the trouble in Morocco Is fully ap preciated. Firing Heard at Tangier. Angera tribesmen are gathered a few miles from Tangier, and firing can be heard. The European resi dents have left their mountain homes aha a number of families are prepar ing to flee from the city. There has been alarm for days that an attack on Tangier would be made, in which the tribesmen would be Joined by the people and possibly by some of the native troops. It Is almost a cer tainty that massacres will be attempt ed. The news of the bombardments, as it spreads to the Interior, Is in flaming the natives, and they are gathering In some parts of the region. The most serious trouble is the possi bility of the uprising spreading to Algiers. The French and Spanish forces have suffered comparatively no loss t all In the fights at Magazan and Casa Blanca. The natives cannot cope with modern gun fire on the coast, where the guns of the war ships can easily cover them. When lighting reaches the interior, how ever, the situation will be grave. The tribesmen are ferocious and fanati cal, and have no fear of death. When Casa Blanca was bombarded, the slaughter was greater than has been believed. At nights when the tribes took courage and entered the city, they were located and shells dropped among them, causing great slaugh ter. One melinite shell from a French cruiser almost destroyed a whole troop of cavalry. The search lights of the warships were placed on the tribesmen and' they were mowed down by gun fire. ATTACK OX TANGIER BEGUN BY. NATIVES, London, Aug. 9. Dispatches from Tangier state that an attack by na tives on that city was begun this morning. Europenas who get away are fleeing to the Vessels In the harbor, The natives have begun the attack, fir ing with heav;' guns. Arms and am munition are being distributed to those in the city to make a defense. If the attack continues It will be necesasry to shell the city, in which event the destruction and loss of life will be great. Cape Jubi to the south of Morocco has- been raided by Arab tribes. The garrison of 400 were taken by sur prise was killed of captured. The governor escaped to the ocean in a small boat. Alarming reports are received from the Interior. The people are Inflamed to an uncontrollable degree by the news of the bombardment of Casa Blanca and Mazagan and are prepar ing to make an attempt to drive all Europeans from the country. Kald Sale, administrator of customs at Ra Dat, Is openly preaching a holy war among the mussulmans. The, French consul has distributed arms to the Eu ropeans. Maelanin, a fanatical priest, leading a horde of natives, is traveling along the coast, preaching holywar, the most dreadful of massacres. " NEW HOSPITAL FOR CHARLOTTE (Special to The Evening Times.)

Tho ei:glne and three coaches, according to telephone messages receive! here, went Into the ditch and the rest ot the cars were thrown across' the op posite track. : Reports i as to the seriousness of the accident are conflicting. The railroad officials claim that only the engineer and fireman were injured, and that the passengers on the flyer escaped with only scratches and bruises. Reports from other sources, how ever, state that the country is being searched for physicians, and that the doctors are rushing to the scene of the wreck to attend a score of in jured passengers as fast as they are notified. All information is meager, because of the Inability to get in touch with tho village of Chesterton by telegraph and the poor telephone service. ' . .. The wreck was - caused by tho breaking of an air hose on a freight train which left Chesterton for the east at 7:31 o'clock. The breaking of the hose set the brakes finder the cars and the train was doubled up against the entire right of way of the Lake Shore road. One minute after the accident the 18-hour -flyer, six minutes late and running at sixty miles an hour, crashed into the dis abled train and smashed ten freight cars into kindling wood, the flyer It self going Into the ditch.
