 POWERS TO INTERVENE
 London, July 3c.-The feasibility of Egnland, Germany and France gong to the aid of Spain in suppresslng the Moroccan rebellion hiOat IS pelns +odav Gon- On the best authority it is learned that King Edward, alarmed Tor the safety of Queen Victoria of Spain, who is bis niece, and King Alfonso has requested the sending of a af"mix- ed force'' of achievements 10 tne Spanish troops who are in desperate straits in Morocco.

 BOTH DECLARE TRUCE
 MeIilla. July 30-The grim spectacle of hoth the Spanish troops and the Moorish hordes having to virtually oe- clare a truce in order to bury the oeau in the slaughter of the last few oays was presented here to-day. Such .ac- lion had to be taken to avoid pestl- lence for the air is foul with the stench of decaying bodies, carrlon birds flying everywhere. and the nights being made hideous with the crles ol jacka1S.
 Rack of Mount Guguru the Moors made a huge funeral pyre where 4.ooo corpses are now being cremateo- Inis is the number estimated to have been Iost by the Moors in Tuesdays strug- e1s The Spaniards are burying the1r dead. Immense trenches have been dug outside the city walls and the corpses are being dumped in 1ndls- cri1ninately. No careful 1dentlncatlon @ of the victims is being made as the Spaniards are in too demoralized condition to go at the work in a sys- tematic manner
 The burial trenches are close to the city walls as General Marina is afraid to venture far from the city until re- Inducements arrive. Desultory ngnt- ing still continues but it is not be- lieved that any general engagement will be fought until relief comes to the worn out garrison.
 General Marina says he will not at tempt another movement against the Moors until he has at least 50.O00 re- Inducements. His army is so demor- aIized that it is only with the greatest difficulty that wholesale assertions are prevented. A number of troops have been shot down for attempting to de sert and fear of a similar fate is all that holds the bulk of the army in check.
