FRINGE AND MOROCCO.
A recent cable from London stated that —“The Caid of the Kebdama tribe, shot and killed M. Pouzet, a French yachtsman. France has sent two cruisers to Morocco to obtain redress from the Sultan,”
It is possible that the death of the French yachtsman may be made the pretext for an attack on the independence of Morocco, which has long been regarded as the “Sick Man” of North Africa. A recent letter from Rome published by the Paris journal Gaulois asserts that an arrangement for the partition of Morocco is in course of negotiation between Great Britain, Italy, Spain, and France, by which Italy would obtain possession of Tripoli, Great Britain would take Tangier, and Franco a 1! the rest of Morocco. Spain, it is alleged, would be content to signify her assent to a partition concerning which she had been consulted. The bulk of the Morocco trade is in British hands. In 1892 an attempt to establish a British protectorate over the country failed; the B.itish Minister (Sir Evan Smith) was recalled and his action disavowed. For some time past France has been steadily increasing her forces on the Morocco-Algerian frontier.
