Tangier, Aug. 10.—Latest advices
from Mggador confirm the reports of
the looting of Cape Juby by rebel
tribesmen and give details of frightful
massacres. The town was sacked,
stores were wrecked, inhabitants were
slaughtered In the streets and women
were carried off. A caravan from
Adrar was pillaged and the people put
to death.
The Moors are still persistent In their
efforts to enter Casa Blanca and en
gagements are of hourly occurrence.
The French and Spanish troops are In
control and the tribesmen are repulsed
each time with heavy loss. Machine
guns ore mounted throughout the city.
Mohammed El Torres, representative
of the sultan for foreign affairs, has
asked the American minister to Moroc
co, Samuel R. Gummere, tp move with
his household from his country resi
dence into Tangier. It is feared that
tribesmen will attack the house if the
minister remains in the country.
It Is reported that the tribesmen have
appealed to Ralsuil, the bandit, to lead
them in a war against Europeans. Ral-
suit is regarded as the only man strong
enough to overcome the Jealousy ex
isting between tribes and cement the
forces of tho country into one army.
The French troops are preparing to
attack the natives camped about Casa
Blanca and recover the women who
were taken prisoners when tho Moors
assaulted the place. Fully a score of
women were carried Into Africa.

MAY ASK U. S. TO SEIZE
TELEGRAPH COMPANIES
Chicago, Aug. 10.—Another surprise was sprung by the strikers
this afternoon, wllen it was announced that they have an attorney
studying the advisability of calling upon the federal government
to seize and operate the properties of the strike-bound companies If
they delay much longer in giving effective service to the public.
Deputy President Russell, after a consultation with the union
attorneys, declared that such action was contemplated and would
be token If the strike situation continued to grow worse.
"The act passed August 7, 1888, extending the powers of the In
terstate commerce deals with the situation, and If a telegraph com
pany falls to maintain.Its lines or operate them either wholly or In
part, relief may be secured by application to the commission.”

At a meeting of local No. 60, of the

In Federation hall Friday night, the

was decided to await lnstructfons from

This meeting was largely attended,
and every member who could leave his

Several women members of the union
were present and they took an enthu

The entire strike situation In Chicago
and other cities affected was thorough

van that Atlanta telegraphers should
wait for Instructions from President
Small of the national organisation be
fore there was any walk-out. A tele

Wait for Instructions.
It was also decided that the union op.

would not handle messages over the

Messages to affected points are be.

that they will get through. The Postal
sends messages to Chicago through

the Western Union does, and trouble is

prevailed.
There are In Atlanta about 175 com
