Spanish Military Experts
Present Scheme to King
Alfonso.
WAR DECLARATION
EXPECTED HOURLY
Many Of Rulers Advisers Favor
Boldly Defying Sultan, Rely
ing on Powers for Aid.

MADRID, via Hendaye, Oct. IA
Spanish army of 10000 men in Morocco,
with 15O. 600 reserves in readiness to re-
enforce the army in the field ct the
slightest warning. is the scheme today
presented for the consideration Of King
Alfonso by the leading military authOri-
ties and members of the cabinet
The leading generals and the state
officials held a conference asst night
which lasted Until nearly daybreak to-
day and evolved this as the oest avail
able means o. coping with the situation
which confronts the nation.
Every feature of the Moroccan war
was considered as well as the wide
spread disaffectiOn in the Spanish cities.
In addition to these causes o. worry
the leaders are now face TO face with
the probability Of war with Sultan
Mulai-Hafd Of Morocco.
War Expected.
A diplomatic note from Mulai to the
powers, demanding the Withdrawal of
Spanish troops from the Rln erritory
has been answered in a maArer little
calculated to soothe the Sultan. and
a declaration Of war, either on his part
or on the part of Spain herself. is
momentarily expected. The Moroccan
envoys here are conducting an excited
correspondence by telegraph with the
Sultan.
Several of the Kings military advisers
are in favor Of boldly defying Mulai, and
depending upon the powers TO help Spain
in the ensuing war. England especially
is looked TO for assistance in preventing
the expulsion Of the last civilized coun-
try from Morocco.
Leaders Suspicious.
The leaders are suspicious OF the po-
siti1ns OF both France and Germany in
the situation, although France, IL Ne G.
lieved, will be forced to keep her hands
off in the hope that her Algerian sub
jects will remain quiet. The Kaiser Is
thought 10 be altogether TOO close "a
Mulai Hahd.
The situation in the interior continues
to grow worse, and the civil authorities
are with difficulty keeping the disahec-
ton from becoming a rebellion. Little
is to be expected Of the army, which is
almost entirely in sympathy with the
populace.
