Standards have the superiority ofuumbers, and yet
they dure not advance. The only conclusion is
that the Spanish army do not understand skirmlsh-
ing at all, and that thus their individual inferiory
in this mode of fighting balances the advantages
which their discipline aud regular training ought to
give them. In fact, there seems to be IN uncom-
monty great deal Of hand-to.hand fighting with
yatagban and bayonet. The Moos, when the
Spaniards are close enough, stop firing and rush
upon them, sword in hand, in the same way as the
Turks used to dc, and this ia certainly not very
pleasant for young troops like the Spsniards. But
the many engagements that have occurred ought to
have made them familiar with the peculiarties Of
Moorish fighting and the proper mode to meet it;
and when we see the commander still hesitate and
remain in bis defensive position, we cannot form
very high estimate Of his army.
The Spanish plan of campaign as it is shadowed
forth by the facts appears to start with Ceuta asthe
base Of operations, and Tetuan as the rstobect Of
attack. That part Of Morocco Immediately oppo-.
site the Spanish coast forms kind Of peninsula,
some 30 or 40 miles broad by 30 long. Tangers,
Ceuta, Tetuan, and Larache (El-Araish) are the
four principal towns on this peninsula. BY occu-
plying these four towns, Of which Ceuta already is
in the hands of the Spnniards this peninsula might
be easily subjected and made base Of further OPP
erations against Fec aud Mequinez. The con-
quest of this peninsula, therefore, appears to be
the object of the Spaniards, and the taking Of Tet-
uan the first step toward it. This plan seems
sensible enough; it confines operations to narrow
region, bounded on three sides by the sea and BY
two rivers (Tetuan and Tucos)on the fourth, and,
therefore, far more easy to take than the country
further south. 1t also obviates the necessity OF
going into the desert, which would be unavoidable
if Mogador or Rabat had been taken for the base
Of operations; and it brings the field of action
close to the frontiers Of Spain, there being only
the Straits of Gibraltar between them. But what
ever may be the advantages of this plan, they are
all Of no use unless the plan be carried out aud
if O'DOnnell goes on as he has done hitherto, ne
will cover himself and the reputation Of the Span
ish army with disgrace, in spite Of the high-souni-
ing language of his bulletins.
