for money under threat that the town

MOORS BEATEN
IN BIC BATTLE
At CASABLANCA
Frantic Horde RepulSed
With Heavy Loss OF
Life.
French Cruiser Renders
Valuable Aid in Driving
Off Attack.

TANGIER, Aug. 13.-News has
Just been received here of a ter
rife battle between the Moors and
French at Casablanca, in which
5000 Moors, after a bold charge,
were repulsed with heavy loss Of
life.
The attack was carefully planned,
but was made possible only through
the fearless character of the sol
diers. The charge was first made by
the Moors in regularly drawn fight
ing lines, but the French holding
the position of vantage drove
them back.
The Moors quickly reformed
their lines and charged back over
the dead bodies of their comrades.
Cruiser Co-OPerates.
The cruiser Glorie at this point began
to cooperate with the French troops,
sending a terribly effective rain OF shells
into the Moorish forces
The attacking forces were cut down
by the guns of the French soldiers and
blown 10 pieces by the shells Of the
ship.
Still the leaders urged the charge and
with dogged indifference to death the
men continued until they were simply
driven back by the very force Of the
firing
Even after being decimated by the
Withering fire OF the French. the Moors
reorganized their struggled lines and
with persistence that seemed border
ing upon insanity. tried again to make
the charge.
Charge Mouths Of Guns.
Again the steady rifle fire Of the
soldiers and the death-dealing shells
from the cruiser drove them back The
last charge was over the same ground
as the previous ones, and the MoOrs
seemed willing 20 follow their leaders
into the very mouths Of the guns.
Repulsed again. they returned. having
sustained a loss that is estimated at be
iLg extremely heavy, though no actual
figures could be obtained
The French losses were small.

Indemnity Sought
By Americans for

Claims Of indemnity on the part Of

upon CasablanCa, and to demand the at

the hghting and looting of the town for

that these people will at once appeal to

In common with other sections OF the

as they reported for work, were seen
by members Of the union, and joined

DaShing NobIeman IS
Said to Be in Love
With Another.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13-8Irs. Marcus
Dawson Russell, the widow OF Capt
Russell. OF the Rough Riders. who lost
his life In the Cuban campaign, has sent
out. over her own signature, a formal
denial OF her engagement to Baron
Christian Won Motz, the dashing young
German nobleman, now living ia this
CITY.
No such engagement" she said "ex-
lists or Is contemplated" The note was
signed by Mrs. Russell, and was dated
from her apartments at 43s West 1lsth
street, corner Of Amsterdam avenue.
Simultaneous with Mrs. Russeu's de-
NAL of the engagement came an an
nouIcement from the baron's friends
that he had fallen in love with Mrs
OnIta COnard, a beautiful young Span
ish widow at the Waldorf. and ex-
pected soon 10 marry her.
Woman's Friends Stunned.
Mrs. Russell would make no comment
on this story. nor would she add any
thing to her brief note denying the en-
gagement- Her friends were stunned by
the news concerning the baron, as they
knew nothing of an estrangement,
though they knew the marriage had
not taken place last Saturday night, cs
expected. But they supposed there had
been merely a temporary postponemenu
of the ceremony.
Baron Won Motz and Mrs. Conard,
when seen at the Waldorf were more
communicative.
1T is true" said the baron, that ?
am rot to marry Mrs. Russell There
has been no quarrel between us and
I ch
IIindliest sentiment for her. She is a
charming woman. and was most kind II
mo when l was III. l an under a debt
Of gratitude to her.
But the opposition from my parents
was too great, too serious for me to
disregard. Their principal objection was
on account Of the great disparity be-
tween our ages They thought she was
too old FOR me Then, too, could not
hope TO win the consent Of the Kaiser.
There was, therefore, a hopeless pros
pect of a union with Mrs. Russell. So
determined Is the opposition of my
family in Germany that a confidential
friend, Alexander Richter is now on the
ocean, charged with the mission of pre-
venting my marriage with Mrs. Russell"
Mrs. COnard Appears.
Asked as to the rumor Of his engage
ment to Mrs. Conard, the baron said:
Il will admit I know Mrs Conard, but
am not ready TO say anything as TO
the story Of our engagement. I may be
able 10 make definite announcement in
a week OF so. She Is certainly q most
delightful and accomplished woman"
Mrs. Conard herself appeared on the
scene at this tuncture- She IS a petite
brunette, slender, willowy, with bright
black eyes. Gems sparkled from ears,
throat. and fingers. She was beautifully
gowned. Asked as to her reported en-
gagement to the baron, she said:
*What does the baron say2'' A mo-
ment later she said: THE baSon is one
of the loveliest men 1 have ever met
but I cannot say that we are engaged -
Mrs. Conard said her married life had
lasted but a year, and she had now been
two years a widow. She was a Spaniard.

reported a sister Of Mrs. John r. Drexel.
She said she had no sister.

A V|C|OUSABLOW
Reese Cravens' Skull Crushed With
A Crow-Bar.

About o'clock last evening Charley
Parks in company with Ike Martin,
colored, went to the home OF Reese
Cravens In the Southeast partIof the
city and inquired about some women,
Cravens told Parks he knew nothing
about any women, whereupon Parks
called him a d---n liar and siezing a
heavy crOw-bar that was standing in
the corner he dealt the old negro a
murderous blow on the head, knock
ing out his right eye, crushing the
skull and cutting a cash several inch
es long on his temple. Drs. Craig and
Clinkscales were called to dress the
injurise and thev say that, while the
wound is dangerous, it is not consid-
cred fatal. Cravens was resting we'll
today.
A warrant was sworn out for Parks
arrest charging him with assault and
intent to kill, but he left the city be-
fore the officers could get service on
him, and his whereabouts are un-
known. Parks is said to have been
drinking when he committed the deed.
Onicers will keep sharp lookout TOR
him.

INADEQUATE
The Gas Supply of vinita Not What
1t Should Be.

Unless the local supply Of gas IS IN
creased there will be great suffering
here the coming winter. The supply
is not half what it should be now and
if we have the usual cold weather the
gas cannot be depended upon at all.
The people should refuse to take out
their stoves and connect up with the
gas until a sufficient amount is furn-
ished. We do not know where the
fault is but we do know that it exists
and we advise the people to keep their
coal stoves and lay in supply OF coal
for the winter.
The Gas company has been inform
ed of the condition here by the
mayor of the city but no improvement
has taken place. II the present compa-
ny,will not furnish more gas than they
are now furnishing, steps should be
taken to see If they are not violating
the franchise guanteed to othem by the
city and appropriate action taken.
