France Demands $70,000 Ransom for Perdicaris and Varley
Foreign Minister Delcasse orders Tangier envoy to secure release of Ian Perdicaris and Cromwell Varley amid Raisuli's $70,000 demand. U S officials rely on French influence and the American fleet to press the sultan of Morocco, while Raisuli seeks to carve a political foothold along the Tangier Fez route. The sultan is willing to pay the ransom but resists Raisuli’s broader ambitions. A prior Tangier release leveraged tribal influence to free a French captive. officials hope similar pressure yields progress.
