London Report Tells of Big Battle
Between French and Moors.
LONDON. Feb. "a special dis
patch from Tangier says that there
has been great battle between the
French and the MOOrs near Settat,
Morocco, In which It is estimated that
10000 Moors were killed or wounded
and in which the French loss amount
ed to 16O men, including four officers.
The Moors with intrepid bravery
charged right up TO the mouth OF the
guns until their bodies lay In great
piles on the ground.
The battle was the fiercest since the
outbreak Of the present hostilities be-
tween the French troops and the Moor
ish tribesmen. The uprising was so
sudden that the French were caught
almost wholly unprepared and mar
rowly escaped annihilation.
The 25,O00 tribesmen fought with the
greatest desperation, charging again
and again.

unhurt.
A band OF men waiting at the corner
OF the PracO do Commercio and the

ward the open carriage In which the
royal family were driving and, level
ing carbines which they had concealed
upon thebl, fired The king and crown
prince, upon whom the attack was d.
rected, We're each shot three times, and
they lived only long enough to be car
ried TO the marine arsenal near by,
where they expired.
Almost at the first shot the king fell
back on the cushions dying, and at the
same moment the crown prince was
seen 10 half rise and then sink back on
the seat. Queen Amelie jumped up
and threw herself toward the crown
prince in an apparent effort to save his
life at the cost OF her own, but the
prince already had received his death
wound. The police guard fired upon
the assassins and killed three OF them
A strong guard was in attendance
because OF the recent uprising In the
city and the discovery of a plot to as
sassinate Premier Franco and over
throw the monarchy. But the band OF
murdcrers had selected the most ad-
vantageous spot for the commission OF
their crime. for they were concealed
from the eyes Of the police until the
carriage had wheeled into the Praga
do Commerce.. a large square.
How many shots were fired no one
can say, but Ii was a veritable fusil-
lade. The effort Of the crown prince,
who was sitting opposite to the king,
to rise was pitiful and without avail.
for he Just lifted himself sufficiently
to pitch forward and fall over the pros
trate body OF his father.
Queen Amelie, uttering a scream that
could be heard by all who had not be-
come frenzied by the attack, threw her
self toward her sons. shielding their
