France Will Demand Control of
Police, Germany Will
Stand Firm.
NO HOPE OF AGREEMENT
Germany .Points to Absorption ot
Tunis as Wnrnlnjc Against Yield
ing France Will oxrer
Solemn Guarantees.
ALGECIRAS. Feb. 10.-(Spedal.) At'
the Moroccan conference next week
France will enter a demand that she be
allowed to police all the regions of Moroc
co except those contiguous to Spain. The
republic is willing that the poncing shall
be watched by the powers with the as
sistance of the officer directing it. but
claims practically a free hand In. the
suppression of the anarchy that Is re
garded at the prcscpt moment as threatening-
every foreigner and foreign inter
est in Morocco.
France will also, require an agreement
regarding ports on the Moroccan coast,
insuring their freedom from operations
that might eventually result In the estab
lishment of national strongholds com
manded by foreign powers.
Morocco In Frcncli Sphere.
The essence of France's position is that
Morocco lies within her present sphere
and must therefore be regarded with re
lation to the future security of the Re
public, whereas the other powers, with
the exception of Spain, arc Interested pnly
in economics.
The -French Republic Is ready to give
uic jnoai solemn guarantee tor an open
door, not only for the 30-year period
apeciflced In the Anglo-French conven
tion, but for ail time. Its delegates hope
thus to set the support of America and
the sympathy of every power except Ger
many. They will contend that France's
position for dealing with anarchy and
the raids of brigands: whicii are causing
the greatest uneasiness in Tangier. Is pe
culiar in that alone of ail ihe powers she
is prepared with troops immediately avail
able to secure order-in the interest of all
nations.
No German Naval Base.
Privately, the French delegates declare
they will never agree to any arrange
ment that gives Germany a chalice to
build up a naval base south and west of
France to co-operate with German forces
on the east. Such a development would
mean the complete -enslavement of
France to Berlin. They add that Ger
many claims her Interests are only eco
nomic and such they must remain.
Great Britain Is supporting France with
the utmost strenuousncss and fidelity.
CRITICAL STAGE IS REACHED
Germany Will Never Let France Re-
,-pcat Operation With Tunis.
BERLIN, Feb. 10. (Special.) Advices to
the government Indicate that the expected
critical Htage In the Moroccan conference
has arrived. The delegates of Germany
and France are practically In a deadlock
on the oollce question, the French claim
ing exclusive rights and the Germans
InHsting on putting their police In con
trol. Germany allogca that the conclllatory
attitude of France has undergone a sud
den chance and that the republic now
aspires to special rights far removed
from the Algerian frontier. These Ger
many will oppose to the bitter end..
Jf France docs not retire from the po
sition she has taken, the conference must
come to a sudden finish, because Ger
many will not assent to anything that
will permit France to "accomplish the
Tunlsifleatlon ot Western Morocco."
The Germans say It is now time to re
mind the public opinion of the world that
France Is attempting to play exactly the
same game in Morocco that she played in
Tunis In 1SS1. The republic then demand
ed of Tunis." Just as ?he Is now demanding
of Morocco, the right to occupy only such
portion of Tunis as was necessary to
insure the wfety of the Algerian fron
tier. France asreed with the Bey of
Tunis to withdraw the troops as soon as
both governments were agreed that he
local authorities were able to preserve
order.
After two years of occupation of the
frontier. France "Induced" the Bey to
sign a new treaty reading: "In order to
make it easier to carry out the French
protectorate, the Bey agrees to institute
such administrative reform as the
French government considers useful.
France then persuaded the Bey to relin
quish his sovereignty,' under cover of
which the republic proceeded to canrel
all the rights that the nations previously
had acquired In Tunis. Germany has not
forgotten how Tunis thus came under
the French flag and Is determined that
history shall not repeat Itself.
DOES NOT GIVE UP HOPE
France Would Rather Maintain the
Present Status Than Yield.
PARIS. Feb. W. The view expressed in
certain sections by the French and for
eign press that the Algeciras Conference
will not result In settling the Moroccan
difficulties, with a consequent renewal of
the .strained relations between France and
Germany Is considered unjustified. In
Kovemment circles it Is pointed out that
France, though desirous of reaching a
settlement, would rather consent to the
status quo than accept' the suggestion of
an internationalized police. This resump
tion of the old conditions, it is argued.
though unsatisfactory, would be pref
erable to agreeing to the establishment of
a force which possibly would become &
menace to the Algerian frontier.
Diplomats consider that France's posl
tion had been made absolutely clear by
th documents publish sd. la tb TeUewv
Book. In which she consented to the in
ternational conference, but laid, down the
express condition that she shall maintain
her special rights and retain absolute lib
erty to accept or reject the decisions of
the conference should her preponderat
ing position be affected.
Germany or any other power naturally
possesses the same liberty of action, and a
refusal from any quarter to agree to the
resolutions of the conference would mere
ly mean that Morocco will still remain in
a state of disorder, but the European re
lations will not necessarily be disturbed.
SAYS CONFERENCE AGREES.
London Paper Reports Settlement of
Franco-German Dispute.
LONDON. Feb. 10. (Special.) The Sun
day Times this morning prints a dispatch
from its correspondent at Algeciras stat
ing that the Moroccan conference has
practically agreed on a method of settling
all of the points in dispute. According to
the "correspondent. Germany will agree to
give France a free hand in Morocco, the
latter nation agreeing to the nationaliza
tion of the State Bank, which would make
th? Sultan equally dependent on all of
the powers financially'. This ls declared to
be the main object desired by Germany.
The Sunday Times is an. entirely dis
tinct paper Irom the famous London
Times.
Doubts German Good Faith.
PARIS. Feb. 10. The Figaro. In an edi
torial this morning; says It doubts the
good .faith of Germany with regard to
Morocco. "Germany," the paper says,
"rctuses us the general mandate we h.ve
so well earned. Several Intermediary so
lutions of the question have been dis
cussed by the . conference and no doubt
more will be found, for the diplomats
have nimble wits, and the French lan
guage is most supple and. with the ex
ception perhaps of Germany, all govern
ments and all peoples desire peace. A re
arrangement of the situation would be
most welcome to us. but not an arrange
ment that would oblige us. to pay too dear
a price for Mussulman tranquillity in
North Africa. We fear, however, that al
though Germany has already exhumed for
our benefit so many Btsmarcklan tradi
tions, she still has some more In re
serve. GREATEST WARSHIP LAUNCHED
Dreadnought, First of Her Type, for
British Navy.
PORTSMOUTH. England. Feb. lO.-The
monster battleship Dreadnaught. which,
when finished, will have cost $7,oCO,00O,
was launched here today by King Edward.
The ceremony was the most simple pos
sible, the King having vetoed all decora
tions and pageantry on account of the
death of his father-in-law. King Chris
tian.
There was a moment ot suspense after
the King touched the electric button re
moving the last block as the huge ship
hesitated and appeared reluctant to take
the water. But slowly she began to move.
and glided down the ways In safety.
Among the occupants in the royal stand
were the American naval attache, Lieutenant-Commander
John H. Gibbons, and
the other attaches, the Admiralty officials
and a few privileged persons.
The launching of the Dreadnaught,
the largest and most -powerful battle
ship of the world's navies, marks the
first stage In what the British Ad
miralty claims as the greatest achieve
ment in naval construction. October
2. 1905. work was commenced and the Ad
miralty has more than made good Its
boast to launch her within six months.
Another 13 months, all going well, the
Dreadnaught will be commissioned and
Join the Atlantic fleet, thus beating all
previous records in battleship-building
toy six months. The ship Is to some
extent an experiment, and It is desired
to give her a good trial before com
mencing construction on any more of
her class.
Great Britain was the only power
having attaches or observers on Jap
anese ships during the Russo-Japanese
war. while expert British con
structors were given every oppor
tunity of learning wherein the ships of
Japan proved weak or strong, as the
case might be. These men. after the
battle of tttef Sea of Japan, came home
with their data, which was submitted,
with suggestions, to a special committee,
and the Dreadnaught is the outcome of
their deliberations, a ship apparently in
vincible, capable at one discharge of her
guns of throwing with unparalleled force
twice as much metal as any foreign
man-of-war now afloat, while her
armor will render her immune from
attacks by any enemy's guns, and,
some claim, even against torpedoes,
fired at the usual battle range.
The details of construction are secret.
The displacement will be 1S.5C0 tons, she
will have ten 12-Inch guns capable of
throwing S30-pound projectiles 23 -miles,
or of penetrating 16-inch armor at two
miles. She will be the first battleship
with turbine engines.
EL MOCHO 3 1 AY LEAD REVOLT
Veteran of Venezuelan Revolutions
Does Not Deny It.
NEW YORK. Feb. 10. General Jose
Manuel Hernandez. "El ilocho," when
seen last night and. told that it was re
ported that he was to lead a revolution
against the rule of President Castro, of
Venezuela, said:
"About my future plans I have said
nothing. How this information could
have come I do not know. I can say
nothlng."
The report, which lacked confirmation,
had it that Hernandez hoped American
business interests In Venezuela would
finance the revolution.
El Mocho (the cripple), so called because
he 'has a maimed hand. Is about 52 years
old. and comes from a family which has
been identified with revolutions- in Ven
ezuela, since the time of the revolt against
Spanish rule. He headed one revolt
against Castro, but was captured and lay
In prison for 18 months. He was released
from prison and made a General in the
army. Later he was made Minister to
Panama, but held the office only four
months before removal, and on the dec
laration that he was a traitor, sentenced
to exile.

WILL CELEBRATE
HER BIRTHDAY
Miss Roosevelt's Pre-Nuptia!
Dinner Tomorrow in
Honor of Event.
TO BE ELABORATE AFFAIR
Bridc-to-Bc Spends Day at Milli
ner's Bearing: Up Well Under
the Strain Gossip of the
White House.
"WASHINGTON,-Feb. 10. (Special.)
Miss Roosevelt will enjoy the unusual
distinction of having a birthday and a
wedding celebration in the same week.
On Monday a prcnuptlal dinner will
be served in honor ot her 22nd birth
day. Members of the bridal party and
a number of intimate friends ot Miss
Alice and Mr. Longworth will be pres
ent. The arrangements, which have
been In charge of Mrs. Roosevelt, are
elaborate. Miss Roosevelt spent some
time today, In trying on hats with her
milliners, instead ot the several dozen
supposed to have been ordered in New
York, she will have only half a dozen
hats In her trousseau. Most of them
needed only a few last touches of final
adjustment when Miss Roosevelt called.
Mrs. Roosevelt will receive the wed
ding guests alone next Saturday, all of
the official significance of the event
being taken away by the wives of Cab
inet officers appearing In their visiting
costumes and huts Just as will all of
the other Invited guests.
Vice-President and Mrs. Fairbanks
and. members of the Cabinet will have
the places of honor in the East room,
followed in the line ot precedence by
other .officials. Otherwise they will re
ceive the recognition accorded other
guests. Three thousand anouncemcnt
cards Have been prepared to mail to
the friends of Miss Roosevelt and Mr.
Longworth and will be sent out tho
day of the wedding.
The "White House calling list has
been used in sending the announce
ments, and for days past Mrs. Roose
velt and Miss Hagner have been adding
to the list. Miss Roosevelt shows won
derful strength in being able to visit,
dine, lunch and shop; all in a single
24 hours and without fatigue. Mrs.
-Roosevelt's strength is still more won
derful, for all the details for the wed
ding, even to the slightest, fall upon
her. while Miss Roosevelt has merely
to attend to her more personal wants.
PLANS FOR WEDDING TOUR
Visit to New Orleans' and Jlardl
Gras Settled On.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 10. (Special.)
That New Orleans and the Mardl Gras
have been included in the wedding Itin
erary ot the- White House couple is a
known fact. The couple will pass the
first few days In Georgia at the old home
stead of Miss Roosevelt's mother, and
then the New Orleans festivities will fol
low. They will take their wedding jour
ney In the private car Republic.
There has been quite a bit of talk among
diplomatic circles over the fact that ex
President and Mrs. Cleveland have not
been Invited to the wedding. In the light
ot the fact that Mr. Cleveland is the only
living man that has served as President
ot this country besides Roosevelt.
Mrs. Cleveland was one ot the most
charming women that were married In
the White House. The slight has moro
than ordinary significance. "If It Is true
that the Roosevelts have neglected to In
clude Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland among the
guests. I look upon it as a very great
breach of White House etiquette." a
member of Washington's most distin
guished old families remarked today.
The wedding Is being made as much a
private affair as possible in every way,
but has not deterred Congress from ad
journing before the wedding in order to
give every member who is Invited an op
portunity to attend. The Cincinnati
friends of Mr. Longworth will make up a.
party 150 strong and charter a number ot
cars and make the trip to Washington as
one big family. They are expected to
arrive here February 16.
The Taft gift will be presented early in
the week, as it has not been entirely
completed as yet. The stone, which Is a
rare aqua marina. Is In color neither a
blue nor a green, but looks like the depths
ot an ocean wave. It will be set about
with diamond hearts, very tiny, and the
chajn will carry out the same Idea, tiny
diamond hearts being set in it at inter
vals. COLD WATER W03IEN OBJECT
Protest Against Punchbowl or Lov-
ing Cup lor Bride.
COLUMBUS. O.. Feb. 10. The various
societies representing the Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union in Columbus are
up in arms at the announcement that the
Ohio delegation in Congress decided to
give Alice Roosevelt a punchbowl as a
wedding gift, and their indignation is not
abated at the later announcement that
the delegation had decided to present her
with a loving cup. which many of the
church and W. C. T. U. women believe
to be practically a punchbowl. At a
meeting of the W. C. T. U. yesterday it
was decided to send-a letter to Congress
man Webber, thanking him for his stand
against the punchbowl, and also to pray
that the delegation shall not present tho
gift ot a punchbowl.

days.
