commander surrender TO the French

blanca, today marked the most serious
breach in the troubles there
The French admiral ordered 15o sail
ors to go ashore from the cruiser Cali
lee to protect the French consulate.
MOors Open Fire.
The Moorish troops and tribesmen
looked upon the landing Of the men as
an invasion. and opened fire upon them.
Five officers fell at the first volley. Six
sailors also had been wounded. when
the Galilee began the bombardment
from the harbor When the shells be-
gan breaking over the town, the Moors
quickly fell back. and the French sail
ors were able to take up the wounded
and care for them.
Many Dwellings Shattered.
The French cruiser Du Chayla quickly
Joined the Galilee in the bombardment,
and the Spanish cruiser Don Alvaro de
Nazan also Joined in sending shells over
the town. The bombardment was con-
fined chiefly TO the villages surrounding
the towns. Many dwellings and small
structures of various kinds were shat
tered, and it was impossible 70 learn the
extent of loss of life.
Large Teinforcements of tribesmen
from the outlying districts were rushed
into the city.
Gathering confidence. the town battery
began firing at the cruisers, and immedi-
ately the guns from the ships were
trained upon the fertilization. After two
or three shells had been sent among the
land guns the Moorish commander sig
niftd his desire to mediate.
Moors Seek Pardon
When communication was established
the Moor sought the pardon of the
French admiral for firing on the sailors.
This request was peremptorily refused.
and in such a way as 10 indicate tlat

maGded and must be forthcoming
The Moorish commander was informed
that the only way he could prevent the
continuation of the bombardment would
be to surrender absolutely to the French
consul.

COW. Mrs. Mary Scotts front yard was
Immediately selected by the animal as
an admirable feeding ground. so admir-
able in fact that the COW declined all in
vitations to dinner and boarded with
Mrs. Scott for three months notwith-
standing that lady's earnest and oft
expressed opposition.
III feeling sprang up between these
two families. and Twining City soon
discovered that II was TO be entertained

for profanity.
But. alasi She failed to prove today
either that the dog was dangerous or
