CASA BLANCA, Sept. 11.-The allied
Franco-Spanish army today made a
sudden and successful move ON Taddert,
where the Moors were massed I'm force.
The camp of the latter was destroyed
by bombardment and the enemy was
put 10 flight, leaving many dead or
the field. The French lost one killed
and SIX wounded.
The attack was carefully planned and
was based largely ON the observations
of the Moors' positions from a military
balloon.
The allied army, which was divided
into two columns, left the camp Mt g
o'clock fn the morning, leaving several
companies of infantry to defend the
base at Casa Blanca. The hrst column
was composed of four companies of
regular infantry, several companies of
sharpshooters. a battery OF artil-
lery and all the cavalry. The second
column consisted of six companies of
infantry and battery of artillery.
The march was ski1lfully carried out
under cover of fog until half way
to Taddert, when the fog lifted and
disclosed several large bands of the
enemy The allies charged these at the
bayonet's point.
The Moors resisted with their old
time courage, but were compelled to
retreat in the face of a superior force,
and both OF the columns of the allied
troops advanced on Taddert
After the bombardment of Taddert
by the French artillery, as we'll as by
the guns of the French cruiser Gloire,
which fired rs shells, the allied infantry
advanced on the Moorish camp, where
the enemy was making a last desperate
stand.
The Moors fed in wild disorder, pur-
sued for several miles by the irregular
Algerian cavalry in the French service
The Moorish camp was completely de-
stroyed- The exact loss of the Moors
is not known, as they carried away
many of their dead. when the Moors
saw their camp in flames they set fire
to all the farms and woods they could
reach and the surrounding country was
covered with smoke and flames
The Moors endeavored to circle in
front Of the advancing troops, with the
object of cutting of and surrounding
a section of the allied forces, but the
attempt utterly fasled, largely on ac-
count of the rapid advance, which
seemed to puzzle the Moors. When as
sailed by the long line of troops the
Moors rushed for the front, where many
of them fell under the accurate fire
of the field artillery and the guns Of
the Gloire.

FIGHT IS IMMINENT


Gavin McNab's opposition to the
nomination of District Attorney Viii
liam H. Langdon has resulted in an
insurrection in the democratic camp,
which may end in taking the demo-
cratic crown from McNab, who has
bossed the bourbons without more
than an insignificant protest for years.
McNab's anti-Langdon tectics have
resulted in an open rupture between
himself and Thomas w. Hickey, who
says McNab must Withdraw his oppo-
sition to Langdon or prepare to de-
fend his right to stay in command of
the democratic party. Hickey favors
the nomination of Langdon by the
democratic convention. The chairman
of the democratic committee is little
more enthusiastic about Langdon the
man than are his fellow democrats; but
Hickey has consistently maintained, be-
fore and subsequent 10 the primaries,
that he declined to consider Langdon
the man. He recognizes Langdon as an
issue and sensibly enough realizes that
the democratic party must meet that
issue by the nomination of Lsngdon or
stand before tllea electorate the con
fessed ally Of the millionaire bribe

chiefs clerk and the property clerk.
Both of these positions carry salary
of 5000 a month. Sergeant OMeara
undoubtedly will be appointed to one
of these positions He is a close friend
of the new chief and for some time
was associated with him In business.
While Biggy was acting ohief in jan
uary, 1900, he placed o'Meara in the
upper office, where he has remained
since. O'Meara is one of the most
capable and courteous men In the de-
partment and his friends are legion.
He is suited admirably for either the
position of property clerk or chiefs
clerk.
BAN ON DINAN's MEN
It was announced by President
sweigert q few days after, assuming
once that all OF Dinans appointees as
detective sergeants would be relegated
to street duty. Others holding soft"
positions in the upper Office or outside
details were included in the presidents
note of reform. About II detective
sergeants were appointed by Dinan,
but some of them have done good work
and may not come under the ban.
It also was asserted freely yesterday
afternoon that there would be another
captain of detectives soon who would
not be so favorably disposed to the in
terests of Calhoun as the present incum-
bent of the office. Just which captain
would be selected as head Of the de-
tective force was a poser, but friends
of Captain Duke did not hesitate to ex-
press the belief that he would be the
lucky one. Dukes friends claim that
he had no opportunity owing to Dinan's
methods and hostility to show his met
tie as sleuth and that he would
prove acceptable to all parties con-
cerned.
DOUBT CONCERNING Ex-CHIEF
If Duke should be selected It would
be a curious circumstance to have him
detailing Dinan to ferret out crime.
But question has arisen as to what
position Dinan may occupy after he re-
ports for dutys When he was made

HICKEY IS DETERMINED

HICKEY IS DETERMINED
Hickey has at all times given his per-
.sonaI Endorsement to the Langdon NOM
ination and has insistently decried
every attempt on the part of McNab to
stir up an anti-Langdon sentiment
among the democratic delegates. Until
recently Hickey thought AIcNab was
talking solely for effect and that de-
spite his anti-Langdon talk the demo-
cratic boss intended TO advocate the
nomination Of the district attorney.
Hickey based his opinion Of McNab's
Rnces that he would give the demo-
cratic nomination to Langdon. When
McNab began to hedge Hickey got
nervous, but was not apprehensive of
the decision TO be rendered by McNab
until the boss told him fatty that he
would oppose the nomination of Lang
don. Even then Hickey hoped that
AIcNab could be made to see the error
OF his way without a fight, which could
not be kept from the public. Hickey en-
deavored to secure the cooperation Of
others, 10 whom McNab had given def
mite assurances prior to the primary
elections that Langdon should have the
democratic nomination.
Hickey thought that If the men to
whom McNab had given his promise to
nominate Langdon were to insist upon
the fulhllment of that promise. "the
only honest boss in the United States
would feel II incumbent upon him to
make his word good. McNab's other
promises seemed to think that the peo-
pie OF San Francisco would be entirely
capable OF taking care OF any politician
or political party that would decline to
nominate Langdon, and refused to at
tempt TO coerce McNab into doing the
right thing. AS a last desperate resort
and 10 put themselves right with the
public Hickey's friends gave publicity
10 the row between the chairman of the
city and county committee and the
heretofore unchallenged boss. This.
too, was done without Hickey's sane
ton. as he hoped TO win his fight
for decency in the secrecy OF the caucus
and TO keep the stencil Of an unsavory
affair from the nestrils of the public
BOSS REMAINS SILENT
McNab volunteered the assurance to
The can that he would nominate
Lsngdon. This was before the pri-
mary elections. The chances Of victory
for the Ryan republicans were not
bright then. Defeat of Ryan and his
regular republican league forces meant
a refusal Of the republican nomination
to Langdon. McNab was evidently
preparing TO loom up on the political
horizon again as the one simon pure
advocate OF good government. He has
since denied that he made any such
statement to The Call He says The
Call was mistaken about what he
meant That The Call was mistaken
as to McNab's- Intentions is now only
too apparent. but there was no mis-
take about what McNab said. McNab
declined yesterday to submit TO an in
terview touching the nomination of
Langdon or his preprimary promises.

Striking Operators Receive a Re-
cruit Today From Western
Union office.
POSTAL STATEMENT DENIED.
Vice President Smith Says no Opera
tors Have Asked To Return
10 Work.
10th DAY OF STRIKE.

Vice President Smith of the local
Photographers union is more confident
than ever that his men viii win their
fight with the Western Union, and
Postal Telegraph companies, and the
Associated Press,
"At the regular 10 O'Clock meeting
this morning" said Mr.. Smith, I'VE had
a large number OF mail communica-
lions from several principal cities
throughout the country, and every
lodge declares its Intention OF SUCK
ing
1--WE have yet to hear OF a single
recruit for the companies coming from
the ranks OF the striking telegraphers.
We call the roll every morning, and
so far not one single man has evinced
a desire to return to the employ OF the
companies under old conditions. Tho
report published IN morning paper
accrediting MIR. Hawkes., superintend-
ent of the Postal, with the statement
that several of our men had appled
to him for work we found at roll call
to be absolutely false.
AS matter of fact, one of the
men that has been with the Western
Union since few days after the
strike. came to our meeting this
morning and Joined US. He said he
was tired of the way he was being
treated by the company notwlthstand-
ing the fact that he was earning ABOUT
SO a day. He had to work from 10
to is hours day, he told us, and he
came to the conclusion that we had
good cause for striking.
Already about a dozen of the local
men have taken positions with the
railroads, and others have gone into
mercantile houses, thus showing their
grim determination to see the fight
to q finish. We wiz win, we are con-
fident, and are watching the progress
with interest, for we are as sure of
winning as that Danie's comet will
rise again in the morning over the
Wasatch."
AT the Postal office it was given
out that their business is larger than
normal, and that they are only one
man short. AT the Western Union,
Manager Long looks very fatigued af-
ter the long siege in which he has
handled n large part Of the copy re-
ceived and sent over Western Union

the fatigue of the past is days, Mr.
