pulse at the hands OF the Moors.
Moorish troops. estimated to number
1000 men and equipped with field

tountered the enemy, consisting of a
detachment of cavalry and Il company
OF infantry. On arriving at Alvarez a
troop of sixty Moorish horsemen was
seen on top of Il mound. Colonel de
Fretay ordered Il squad OF regular
Algerian cavalry to give chase, and a
hot pursuit was kept up for about
three miles, when suddenly the hills
beyond were see to be swarminR
with hOrscmen. The Algerian troop,
crs. realizing that they had fallen into
L trap, retired slowly. The colonel
when he reached his advanced force
occupied a position, with the infantry
and Spahls in reserve, behind the
walls of some Marabout tombs, de
ploying a force of chasseurs d Africa
and Algerian regulars to the north
east. The Moors, who we're constant
ly being reinforced, then began a
!! c~ircling movement, with the object
OF turning the French position, but
were momentarily checked by the sus
tanned fire of the infantry and a hal
OF bullets from the rapid fire guns
Nevertheless the situation was grow
Ing critical. Fully 5000 white clad
Moorish warriors threatened to over
whelm Colonel de Fretay's column
when General Drude arrived with two
batteries OF field and another section
Of rapid fire battery, and opened fire
The Moors were ia, IN completely by

CHEERING THOUSANDS GREET
PRESIDENT At CHATTANOOGA.
AIDS EFFORT TO AVERT PANIC

Pleads With Suroin0 Mass OF Human
ity at station to Have a Care for
Women and Children and Then Gives
UP Attempt to Deliver Address.
Chattanooga, Oct. 2~3.-Probably TO-
900 people were in danger of injuries
last evening at Central station when
President ROOsevelt's special train
rolled into the shed. II was a surgiDg
controlled. The demonstration was
SO great that it vas practically i'm
possible for the president to speak.
He made many attempts, but finally
gave up. He pleaded with the crowd
to have a care for the women and
children-he knew there was danger
of a panic and did all in his power
to avert a catastrophe. The cheering
was almost incessant; women were
carried off their feet and men had to
get back from the avalanche OF hu.
mainly.
When the train arrived the presi-
lent was riding on the rear platform.
The cheers that greeted the arrival
OF his train were renewed with in.
hnitely greater volume when the pres.
ident's well known face and figure
came into view.
II. Clay Evans was the first person
recognized by the president and was
at once invited to the car platform.
To a newspaper man who was stand.
ing near, the president SAID:
ID not ask me to- shake hands. II
| begin there will be a panic here.
That crowd will surge in here with a
force no power car resist. | know,
because | have tried it before
The president then glanced about
him. sizing up the crowd that surged
and cheered without indication that It
would cease. Mr.. Evans held up his
hand, reckoning for silence, but he
had as well becloned t o a roaring
cyclone.
Introduction Unnecessary.
My fellow citizens said Mr..
Evans, but his fellow citizens heard
him not. He wanted to introduce the
president. The crowd felt fully aC-
oudinted and deemed an introduction
unnecessary. Then Mr.. Roosevelt
tried his hand. He went to the right
!ail. The people in that direction
cheercd and the president smiled. He
leaned over the Iear rail of his car
n the thousands in that direction
cheered. He looked to the left and
again a tumult of cheers greeted him.
He could but smile. No human voice
could penetrate that great multitude
OF cheers. Presently, with all his vocal
powers, Mr.. Roosevelt said:
MY Friends and Fellow Citizens:
Be as quiet as you can and III try to
say a few words in appreciation of
this magnificent ovation. This is the
most enthusiastic crowd. and the
largest one, that has greeted my ar.
rival in any city during this great
trip through the southland" Then
the crowd began to surge. The presi.
dent held up a warning hand: Don't,
don't, my good people, remember
there are and children In the
crowd. 1t is dangerous. Try to be
quiet"
The president tried vainly to speak.
The few sentences he had uttered had
consumed nineteen minutes and the
train was signalled ahead. AS it rolled
away the president waved a response
to cheers that followed as long as he
was in sight.
