LONDON, October 10. (Received October 11, at 8.50 a.m.)
The ‘ Daily Mail’s ’ Fez correspondent advises that Bushamara, the Pretender, on whoso behalf the Powers intervened, was not shot, but that, after his feet had been chained, he was thrown into a garden where there were three starved lions. He tried to climb a tree, but a lioness tore off his left arm. Soldiers then entered the grounds and stabbed him in his breast a dozen times. The lions afterwards returned, and toyed with his body as cate do with a mouse.
The Sultan Mufeu Halid and his Court watched the scene from the palace windows.
