The first brigade of picked troops from Madrid now find them. selyes--in a country ideal for both in- .fantry and cavalry. very different from the combre Gorges of Gurgu where the soldiers never saw the sky, but were shot down from behind rocks without the hope of replying.
 The Spanish troops feel that they are in position nt the present time to meet the enemy on terms of equality and all are ciamoring to be led for. ward. The white walls of Zeluan are visible in the distance, put many dif- ficuittes are still ahead. >
 Water has to be brought from Res. tinRa of Mell.a on mules and the task is increasing in difficulty as the army moves inland. although good water should be found at Zeluan.
 d The Spanish advance has had the ef. feet of splitting the Riff forces and re- cent attacks on conveys have been much less serious.
