We are told that there is a war cloud in Morocco. that Great Britain may champion the cause of some of her sub- jects who have fallen afoul ot the Mor- occan troops, and that there may be serious trouble.

An expedition sent out by the coat-. pany, and under the command at Ma- jot Spillsbury. has been attacked on', the coast of Morocco by troops of the Sultan. and five of the party, all Eng-| lishmen, are now tasting the pleas- ures of Moorish captivity. The attack‘ took place in the province of Sue, where the company claims to have acquired valuable trade canoes-ions from the Raids ot the Bus tribes. Hut when Eng- "and examines into the status of the 1 Globe Venture Company it is doubtful l, if she will co to war, as certain reports i have indicated. i The special mission of Major Spills- ':bury was to gain the sanction of the :Sultan to the concessions alleged to ", have been secured from the Hus people. 5 Without such sanctions tho concessions, ',even it' genuine, would he absolutely luarthluss.
