HAREM DISMISSED.
Late Sultan's 300 Wives Freed
By His Son.
BOY RULER'S FIRST ACT.
(Received 11 a.m.) - LONDON, November 21. The "Daily Mail's" Babat correspondent states that the boy Sultan of Morocco, Moulay Mohammed BenYussuf, has made his first act the dismissal of his father's 300 wives and concubines, and also Sidi Abdallah, front the palace of the major-domo, the latter being his father's boyhood friend, whose sentiments were anti-French. The Sultan declined Sidi's plea for an interview and the slaves enthusiastically ejected their former hard taskmaster. Nearly all the functionaries have been dismissed except the Grand Vizier, El Mokri. The Sultan is devoting three days to prayer at the tombs of his ancestors.
