Moroccan Affairs.

(By Telegraph—Press Association.)

MOROCCO, Yesterday. Raisuli has refused to receive the Sultan’s letters unless Kaid Sir Harry Mac Lean personally deliver©.l them, unaccompanied by troops. General Mac Lean and four followers visited Raisuli’s camp, and was then informed that he would be detained until all Raisuli’s demands were granted. It is understood that the Foreign Secretary (Sir Edward Greyl is already pressing the Sultan of Morocco to obtain Kaid Sir Harry Mac Lean’s release.

The Times states that Sir Harry Mac Lean is imprisoned in a village of the Khamas tribe, forty-five miles from Tangiers.

There is reason to believe that Sir Harry is not being well treated. Raisuli is demanding as the price of the Raid’s release, his own appointment to a governorship, in addition to a large ransom. Kaid Maclean, who is held a captive by the Bandit Raisuli, has written to Gerard Louther, the British Minister at Tangier that he is in good health and is being treated well.
