Kabyle trenches, and from the cruiser Ven
Adito anchored at the mouth Of the Ouro

As soon az the Arabs ssw the cruiser ap-
proach large body dashed to the shore
and began firing at her with rifles, but
their shots fell wide Of the mark.
The Venadito came to anchor at an ad-

natives replied with harmless fusilade.
The Venadito's Hotckiss guns wrought
havoc In the Arab trenches. Besides 81
