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. HEARING CHANGED TO NEW YORK CITY Mrs. Charles D. McKinney. Mrs. Charles D.
