THE WAR IN NORTH AFRICA.

spnninrds.

M.pnrp. Oct 9-The cable to Melilla has
been repaired, and dispatches OF the most
serious import have been arriving here since
1890 o'clock this morning. The Holy Men
throughout Morocco are preaching war OF
determination. They exhort the Moors to
drive out all European infldels. and to give no
quarter to Spaniards captured in battle.
The Kabyles continue TO arrive at the camp
OF the tribesmen near Melilla. Tho Moors
have now more warriors than can be fed from
the district to which they have immediate
access. and famine threatens. They have
kept up dcsutory fire on the Spanish fortress
for tho last twenty four hours
The Spaniards have replied occasionally. but
without perceptible effect. The Moorish COM
mander with small escort and a flag OF truce
called upon the Governor OF Melilla last even
ing and ed for peace. He assured the Gov
ernor that the Sultan's intention was to niict
exemplary punishment upon the belligerent
tribesmen. The Governor answered that
Spain could not and would not await the Sui
tans pleasure in the matter. especially as he
was taking his leisure in giving satisfaction
for the attack on thefort.
The Moors fusillsded the gunboat Cuervo
yesterday as she was leaving Melilla harbor.
after having landed troops and ammunition.
The eunboat put about and for twenty min
shells were sent into the centre Of the Moors'
position. and their fire was silenced
Ono marine on thu Cuervo was wounded.
The loss Of the Moors Is believed to have been
considerable.
The embarkng oftroops at Malaga and sew
eral other ports continues The soldiers are
accom- panied to the docks by singing and
cheering crowds. At Z o'clock this evening
the Government issued an order that the en-
tire Second Army Corps. Gen. Chinchila COM
manding, should embark for Melila. The
order has caused some excitement and great
rejoicing in this city.
Late tonight the Cabinet decided to hold
back the reenforcements until word has been
received from Melila regarding the final de-
cislon OF the leaders Of the Kabyles who are
to assemble for conference on Wednesday.
The commander OF the Kabyles has promised
that satisfactory arrangement will be made
on that day.
The Minister Of War informed inuurers this
evening that there arc fifteen battalions. fully
equipped. ready to embark for Melilla. He be-
lieves. however that the disturbance is ended
The Cabinets decision to hold back the rean-
forcements is certain to incense the populace.
