The local situation at Casa Blanca seems to be improved.

Mr. Maxwell, the special correspondent of the Daily Mail at Tangier, telegraphing to Friday's paper, states that almost all the Europeans are now safe, and that indeed only two are now left in the interior. He states that the refugees report that before they left Fez the Moors were already clamouring for a Holy War, and that as they passed through the gates of the city shouts were raised for the " Jellad." Mr. Maxwell also states that letters which reached him on Thursday night show that the looting of European houses at Fez has already begun.
