MADRID, Oct 1.-The latest Spanish
defeat in Morocco, in which Gen. Diaz
vicario lost his life. is not yet known
to the people of Madrid. and the authori-

of the activities of yesterday and
Wednesday, which indicated that the
Moors were resuming the offensive
1t is not known whether the Spaniards
retired from the summit of Mount Guru-
ga because of the sudden appearance Of
1000 Moors, whose attack was expected
momentarily. The enthusiasm that fol-
lowed the announcement of the possession
of Mount Guruga was dampened today by
the reports already made public.

SPANS Projects in Africa
Cause Much Press Comment

PARIS, Oct. 2.-The ambitious projects
attributed to Spain with regard to north
ern Africa are causing considerable press
comment. Official circles, however, do
not manifest any disquiet, at SPANS as
surances regarding territorial aggrandise-
ment have thus far been categorical.
II is understood that France and Great
Britain have agreed that Spain shall
have full right to exact indemnity from
Morocco and temporarily to occupy terri
tory pending its payment, but both are
prepared to resist the definite occupation
