THE INQUIRER, LANCASTER, NOVEMBER 18, 1905. 3 TAKEN BY A BANDIT. ION PERDICARIS TELLS OF HIS CAPTURE BY RAISOULI. Will Make His Home in Washington During Winter Released from Captivity by Hay's Strong Stand in Matter. -This city will be the home, for the coming winter, a at least, of Ion Perdicaris, the United States citizen whose capture in Morocco by Raisouli, a Moorish bandit and political agitator, was the cause of serious international complications between the United States and that country about a year and a half ago.

Mr. Perdicaris and his wife, who is still suffering from the effects of injuries received at the time of the capture of her husband and son at the hands of the rough mountaineers, will probably reside here until conditions in Morocco will permit of their return to Tangiers, where Mr. Perdicaris has large property interests. Mr. Perdicaris speaks admiringly of the energy of the United States government in securing his release, and says this action has greatly increased American prestige abroad.

The late John Hay's famous ultimatum: "Perdicaris alive or Raisouli dead," and the sending of two squadrons of United States warships to the scene of the trouble is the action to which he refers. He is of Greek descont, but a native of Trenton, N. and is a tall, finelooking man, slightly past middle age. He has a heavy gray beard and kindly eyes, and his manner is both cultivated and charming. Mr.

Perdicaris talked freely with a reporter of his experiences with the bandits and of the conditions in Morocco. He said the situation in the district immediately around Tangier is extremely interesting and singular, since Raisouli himself has been made governor of this part of the country and is trying to restore order among the dissatisfied peoples, with the aid of government troops. When asked to describe in more detail the conditions there, Mr. Perdi- ION PERDICARIS. (American Citizen Captured in Morocco by Bandit Raisouli.) caris recalled the situation previous to his capture.

"It will be remembered," he said, "that by virtue of the conference of Madrid in 1880 the two signatory powers, of which the United States was one, were to enjoy privileges in Morocco equivalent to those conferred upon Europeans in Egypt by virtue of what are known as 'The These included especially the right of ex-territoriality, which removes litigation affecting foreigners from the native courts to consular tribunals. These favorable conditions were enjoyed by residents and merchants of all nationalities in Morocco, together with a singular immunity from violence or molestation of any sort, so long as there was a stable 1 tive government. "During the last two years. however, the native authority has been set at naught by the populations of the plains and especially the mountain Kabyles. It was this condition of general anarchy that enabled Raisouli to effect my capture and that of my stepson on the 18th of May, 1894.

Thanks to the character of Raisouli himself. who had taken up arms in defense of certain privileges which the Berber mountaineers had formerly enjoyed, we were treated with consideration after the first rude aggression, when we were hammered on the head by the Berbers and bound. So soon as they had carried us beyond the reach of rescue by government troops, who reached our villa about 40 minutes after we had been taken away, they showed every disposition not to cause us any undue suffering. The ride itself was one of extreme hardship, however, lasting the entire night, the following day and part of the next night, with scarcely any stops for rest or food. Such food as was given us was uneatable.

"At present Raisouli is the appointed governor of the district immediately surrounding Tangier, where we lived, and is endeavoring to maintain order among the more lawless tribes in the neighborhood of the town, in which he is being assisted by government troops. "It is difficult to see the outcome of so singular a situation, but my impression is that Raisouli is perfectly sincere in his efforts, as he was extremely anxious to escape from the tions of outlawry in which he found himself, chiefly owing to his aggression upon ourselves. Representatives of other foreign powers share my own impression in this matter. Should Raisouli fail, the introduction of some European force will be absolutely essential to protect the town."

REAR ADMIRAL BARKER HAS PAD INTERESTING Some of His Experiences During Forty Odd Years' Service--Search for Supposed Shipwrecked Party. Washington.

-Rear Admiral Albert S. Barker. U. S. retired, who is now living in this city with his family, has had some very interesting experiences in his forty-odd years of life in the navy.

"Excitement has been plenty in my life," he said. "I have witnessed battles in foreign countries in which my ship was not concerned, have been exposed to epidemics, encountered hurricanes, and witnessed the terrible effect of earthquakes. "In 1886, when the deep sea soundings were being taken around the world at intervals of 100 miles, the Enterprise, of which I was in command, was ordered out to make some of the casts, and a on our way we passed by the Straits of Sunda a few days after the earthquake of Krakatoa, when the accompanying tidal wave swept into the sea the city of Anjer and drowned many thousands of people. "As we approached the straits, we observed that the surface of the sea was covered with a layer of fine pumice stone, and as we came closer our path was strewn with many dead bodies and debris of all kinds, uprooted trees, parts of houses, etc. Of course, we knew that something awful had happened, but we did not learn what it really.

was until we met a Dutch ironclad. whose officers told us of the earthquake. "A very curious experience was that which came to me in 1877, when the Alert, myself in command, was sent to the South Sea islands to make a search for some shipwrecked people. The information was gained by the navy department in LaS way: A sailing vessel bound for China was becalmed one day near Dampier straits, and, while lying waiting for a wind, was boarded by some savages, who, REAR ADMIRAL A. S.

(Retired Naval Officer Has Had Some teresting Experiences.) by means of sign language- they could speak no European languageendeavored to convey to the captain some message, which he interpreted as being that a vessel carrying several men and one woman had been wrecked some distance to the westward of that point and the passengers cast up on an island. "This information, though very indefinite, was given to the department, and they ordered us to proceed to the spot and endeavor to locate the strand ed mariners and take them off the lisland and bring them home. We 'were ordered to set sail from Yoko hama, and, realizing the great length of our journey, we made every prep aration for it. "The distance from Yokohama tc the islands is so great that we found rit necessary to go under sail, saving our coal until we got to the islands We did not even have enough coal tc spare any for distilling water, but touched at small islands on the way and got our fresh water, obtaining it in the most primitive way by means 01 casks and boats.

In this way WE sailed along till we reached the neigh borhood, when we started the engines going and skirted along the edge 01 the islands, sailing only during the daytime. "In many places the natives were greatly frightened by the appearance a war vessel, and fled at the ap of the ship's boats, althougl we made no aggressive "After a long search, we at last 'solved the mystery. At one island al which we touched we found a letter from an English merchant for the first European vessel that should come that way, telling them that he chad buried his wife on the island, anc the Alert was the first one to touch (there. As the chief informed us that there had not been any vessel ship wrecked among the islands for many years, we were satisfied that we had found out what the native wanted to tell the captain of the becalmed vessel "While in command of the Phila delphia in 1893, just after the inter national review, I received orders to proceed to Honolulu, Sandwich is lands. The Philadelphia was at that time a new cruiser, and much had been written about her steaming possibil ities, but they had never been put to any severe test.

In order to find out just what the engines could do, they not stopped from the time wE left New York until we arrived in Ric a distance of more than 4,700 miles, and from there to Callao and then to Honolulu, a distance of 5,200 miles. I doubt if any other vessel has )done as well as that, though it is possible." VISITS HOME. (Fresident Sees Birthplace of Parent at Roswelll, on His Southern Tour.

In fact, in the whole town, with the exception of a new set of faces, things are pretty much as when Mrs. Roosevelt left them a bride 50 years ago. 1 The president's mother was a descendant of the revolutionary governor 'of Georgia.

The latter was the body servant of Martha Bulloch and helped to dress "young missus" for the great event of her life. Tradition. has it that she slipped a rabbit toe into the bosom of the bride's white satin gown. When speaking recently of the part he took at the wedding, Sexton Jackson said: "I pushi ide do' open-me and Henry Hobby.

Edward the Confessor erected the first church on the present site. This was reconstructed, its con secration taking place in 1269, ano since that date until the present time there have been various additions. The official name of the edifice is "Westminster Abbey, the Collegiate Church of St.

The first volunteer mustered into the army for the war with Spain was "Bucky" O'Neill.

He entered as a private, but was afterward made captain of troop of Roosevelt's rough riders. His laconic expression: "Who would not gamble for a star?" in response to somebody who remonstrated with him for enlisting as a private, made the rounds of the country. Whether the star he meant was Cuba, statehood for Arizona through the gallantry of her sons, or a brigadier's rank for himself has never been definitely settled. A fellow captain of the rough riders, who was present when the remark was made, told me that a brigadier's star was meant "Bucky" O'Neill was killed in the battle of San Juan, July, 1898, as he walked up and down before his line of waiting men, talking to Capt. Howse, of the artillery.

Bullets were zipping all about him. Somebody remonstrated with him for exposing himself SO recklessly. "You'll be killed, sure, captain." "The Spanish bullet that will kill me is not yet molded," he said, with a laugh. As he turned on his heel a bullet struck him in the mouth and came out at the back of his head, so that even before he fell his gallant soul had gone out into the darkness. In this sentence Col.

Roosevelt tells of the passing of "Bucky" O'Neill, that strange character who smoked cigarettes and quoted Whitman on the battlefield, who fought all his gusty lifetime against injustice to the weak, but loved a row as a schoolboy does a holiday. His life work is written deep in a territory redeemed from lawlessness. To understand "Bucky" O'Neill you must know Arizona--its turbulent, youthful energy, its bigness and its breadth--above all, its unflinching loyalty to manhood. CHANGED HIS SOCKS. The Amusing Story Which Is Told About Maj.

"Stonewall" Jackson. During the excitement which followed John Brown's raid into Virginia. Maj. Jackson- to Washington in command of the cadet artillery of the Virginia military institute. There, says the Century Magazine, he spent the night at a hotel.

He shared a room with four of his officers. Before retiring he asked one of them, a captain, what he did with his watch and purse when spending a night in a hotel. "Well," replied the captain, "I have no fixed rule. -Ordinarily I put my waistcoat, in which I carry them, under my pillow." "I can tell you a much better plan than that," said Maj. Jackson.

"I always place my watch in one sock and my purse in the other, and lay them on the floor as if they had been thrown there carelessly. No one would think of looking in a pair of soiled socks for valuables." They were up betimes in the morning. and having breakfasted started for the wharf to take boat for their destination. They had marched one or two squares when the major suddenly ordered: "Detachment halt! Place rest!" He then left them standing as they were. and trotted off at his usual ungainly gait toward the hotel.

He soon returned and resumed the march. "Major," said the captain at the first opportunity--for he suspected the cause of the was much struck by your method of concealing your watch and purse last night, and think I shall adopt it hereafter." A broad smile appeared on the major's face. "If you do," he said, "don't put on clean socks next morning and leave the old ones behind." ACCIDENTS WILL HAPPEN. How James A. Garfield Once Put to Rout a Fellow Who Thought to Stop His Speech.

James A. Garfield had a bad egg thrown at him by some treason sympathizer er while speaking at Chestertown, the same place where, he said, a few weeks after, he was face to face with the companions of the miscreant on the field of battle. "They carried more dangerous weapons," said the general, "but as I did not run there, it is not probable that I should run now; and as I fought then, if necessary, I can fight now!" The mob was intensely gratified by this plucky speech, and proceeded to inflict summary justice to the egg-thrower, which they did, unfortunately, by administering a tremendous beating to the wrong man! If a true patriot, however, be doubtless forgave the accident, and was willing thus to suffer vicariously in so good a cause. In Time of Peace. H.
