The Latest German Plot .lutanist
France and !•patu.
LONDON, April 9.=The object of
German alms 1n Morocco is to upset
the existing regime. French and
Spaalarda alike declare that the so-
called independent Morocco is tied
hand and foot to Germany. The
French hare realized the German
objectives, but the Spaniards still
disbelieve them, on the ground that
eves the Germans are 1_tcapable of
such treacbery.
The Times gives proposals made
to Retrial( and otbere by Germans
actually is Morocco. The first is that
on the deeiaration of a German vic-
tory in France there should be a
revolution of the tribes In the French
protectorate. These dissident tribes
alas to be Glanced by German money
aad •agitated by contingents from the
Spanish zone whose pay is guaran-
teed by Germany. This revolution 1s
to include the massacre and exterm-
inaUoq of the subjects , f all the
allied powers and to be followed by
a declaration of the independence of
Morocco and the nominatic n of *
pro -German Sultan. Secondly It 1s
represented to the Moors that the
power of victorious Germany will be
such that Spain will be forced to
cede, first her administration and
later her actual sovereignty to Ger-
many against a cash payment. The
third proposal is that Raisull be
tnominated either Sultan or indepen-
dent Viceroy, with almost unlimited
powers In the northern provinces of
Morocco from the Algerian frontier
to Tangier, and extending inland far
to the mountains north of Fes.
Fourthly, the remainder of Morocco
from Fes to the southern limits be
under a Sultan ehosen by Germany.
Fifthly, that in ties district the sup-
posed rich mines be ceded entirely to
the Mannesmann syndicate or a com-
bination of other German mining
companies. Sixthly, that Rataull and
the Sultan each be granted a large
participation in the proats and
royalties on all mining enterprises
undertakes by the Germans. Seventh,
that Morocco be • civil administra-
tion, and that the army be placed
there by the Germans and nominated
by the Kaiser.
