THE MOORISH REBELLION.

ATTITUDE OP GREAT BRITAIN. By Teleerapia—Press Association—Copyrlelit London, May 2. In the House of Commons, Sir Edward Grey, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, in replying to a question by Mr. John Dillon, Nationalist member for Mayo East, said that France's action was not intended to alter the political status of Morocco, and that his Majesty's Government did not see'why any objection should be taken to it.

HOW THE BERBERS FOUGHT.

, Paris, May 2. Letters received here from Fez stato that the attacking Berbers were dressed as for a feast. They were followed by their women mounted on mules, and singing and cheering for the encouragement of the men. If a man fell fighting the women seized and removed his body.

INTER-TRIBAL' FIGSi'IXG. (Rec. May i, 0.53 a.m.) Tangier, May 3. The Benihansen rebels, on hearing that the relieving column was approaching, returned homewards and drove off mauy of the Sherada cattle. Inter-tribal .fighting followed.

Writing of the situation in Morocco shortly before the _ last mail left, the "Morning Post" directed attention to th; , revival .of German commercial projects in that country, and stated that thoro is now good reason for believing that they are about to be prosecuted with some energy. The direct cause of this movement is the representation by the Wcstphalian Ironminer?,' Giiild— of which the Mannosmann group is one impcrtnut section—that unless new markets for German iron and slop] manufactures are quickly provided there will be an industrial crisis. The mission of Herr Etheimer to Tangier and Fez is the first step in a programme that may attain far greater dimensions than would at present bo credited. His prospectinc mission seems to include Tripoli as well as Morocco, but his principals in Germany are nt present suspending further efforts until they have received from him some account as to the 'state of things existing in Morocco itself.
