General Wogaek says the trouble

This statement was made to a repre-

Continuing. this ofllclnl said: “Rita-Ia

that England wIIl go to war over a

England yield. ‘
“As to the statement that the

for though the alleged attack occurred

WASHINGTON. March iii—The
state department is giving renewed at-
tontion to the settlement of the claims
against the government of Morocco.
The claim In the case of Marcus U29,»
gui. who was murdered at For: in June
last. has been adjusted by the payment
of $53,000. But there are other claims
eqtmlly meritorious which have not
been satisfactorily adjusted. Recently
the state department gave these con-
aideratton. all efforts on the part of
Mr. Cummcre. the consul general ut
Tangier. to adjust them. having proved
ineffective.
Under these circumstances a special
mission. following in this respect the
practice of other governments, seemed
necessary. Instructions to this end to-
day were sent to Mr. (inmmere as well
as a further Instruction to demand an
apology for an apparent discourtesy on
the part of the grand vizier and the
minister of foreign affairs In, attempt-
ing to defeat the purpose of’thc state
