VICTORY FOR SULTAN.
REBEL FORCE ROUTED.
Fate of Moorish Pretender IN DOUBT
-Many Slain.

Tangier, Feb. 1.-The Sultans troops have ut-
tery routed the forces of the Moorish Pretender'
and. according to the first courier who arrived
to-day. after making record journey from
Fez. have captured Bu-Hamara. The courier
reported that at daybreak last Thursday the
army of the Sultan commanded by the war
Minister FL Menebhi, attacked the Pretenders
position and inflicted complete defeat on his
followers.
Another runner who has reached here from
Fez confirms the news of the defeat of the reo-
els, but says that the report of the capture OF
the Pretender is incorrect. He adds that II Is
uncertain whether Bu-Hamara's body was
among the great number slain. The sultan. s
victory absolute almost the entire follow

taken, and the artillery which was lost
by the Sultan's army in the battle OF December

capped it is hopeless for him to seek to retrieve
his defeat, as his pretentions to sanctity are
now worthless.
The details regarding the battle are measre'
but it is known that the Pretenders camp was
surprised and rushed at dawn.
