carried by bayonet attack News Of the
fight reached here today. Hundreds Of
the MOOrs were slain or wounded during
the fighting, and the troops likewise lost
several men according to the message.
The attack OF the Moors was made
shortly after midnight. Mounted on
their feet horses the natives charged

The Moors established themselves
there. They were repulsed at other
points, however.
Re-enforcements were then rushed 10
the European forces which had been
driven out OF their works and several
charges were launched against the
Moorish occupants. The French soldiers
swept over the works. driving out the
Moors at the point of the bayonet. The

The court has held that the notice of
