EARLY CAPTURE PREDICTED
At Critical Moment Tribesmen
Deserted to the Government
and "a Terrible ROut
Speedily Followed.

Tangier, Morocco. Feb. 2--The details
Of the sultan's victory Thursday over
the forces of the pretender show that
the battle was stubbornly contested
and that the formers success was large
ly due to the Cooperation at critical
moment Of the Beni ouriens tribe,
whose detection from the rebels the
sultan had previously purchased.
The sultan's artillery, which was
commanded by the minister VI war, FL
Menebhi consisted Of eight Maxlnns and
four Krupps. The sultan's troops
opened the attack early in the morning
and shortly afterward the pretendar's
camp was assailed in the rear Ey Beni
Oureias. In spite of the surprise and
disadvantages Of position. the rebels
stubbornly maintained their ground
and desperate fighting continued for
three hours.
The slaughter was very great. The
remnants Of the rebel army then
broke, abandoned the camp and lied In
the direction Of Taxa. The imperial
troops are pursuing and If Bu Ramara
is not among the slain his capture Is
confidently expected.
Ell Menebhi IS gushing on toward Ia
"a with the object Of entirely crushing
the rebellion and furnishing the 'llsloyel
tribes. He reports thar he found
the rebels much more numerous than
expected but that he captured all their
munitions.
There is great rejoicing at Fee as a
result of the sultan's victory.
