A SHAKY THRONE.
MOROCCAN SULTAN ISOLATED.
By Toleeraph—Press Association—CopyriElit (Rec. April 8, 0.30 a.m.) Tangier, April 7. Communications from Fez describe the situation of the beleaguered capital as extremely critical. The Sultan's army is camped eight hours' march to the north of the city, and communication between it and the royal headquarters has been cijt by the rebel tribesmen. The Sultan is thus separated from tho principal prop of his throne. The soldiers' pay, on which their loyalty to the occupant of the throne largely depends, was sent out by the Sultan under a strong escort, but the convoy was hard-pressed by the rebels and forced to return to Fez.
