From Tribesmen Asks the
Terms of Surrender

MADRID, Sept 27.-The war office
today announces the complete success
of the maneuvers in Morocco against
the Moors.
Both Nador and Zetuan have been
occupied. At the latter town there
was bloody fighting with large bodies
of Moors. The ring around Guruga
is now considered almost closed, and
the position of the Moors is desperate
Kaid Amas appeared before General
Marina, the commander of the Span
ish forces. yesterday, and asked terms
of surrender for the tribes intrenched
on Mount Guruga. The results of this
conference are not known, but 1t is
believed the Moors are ready to submit
without conditions.
The immediate successful termination
of Spain's war against the Moors
which has been going on since July
would be of inestimable advantage te
the government Of Premier Maura.
Captured by Strategy
MELILLA, Morocco, Sept. 27.-The
capture of Nador by the Spanish forces
yesterday was comparatively easy
owing to the strategy employed BY
General Orozco. who feinted in the df-
rection of Zetuan, to which point the
Moors rushed. The Spanish commander
then turned his men and marched into
Nador.
The defenses of Nador were razet
and the town burned by the Spaniards
From Nador the Spanish artillery
shelled Zetuan. The positions sur
rounding Nador are now occupied BY
10000 Spanish soldiers.

NIGHTLY FOR DEBATE
Prospects of the Little Nations In the
South Are Earnestly Threshed
Over by Unofficial Junta
Which Meets In Cafe.

Washington Central Ameri-
can junta, composed of diplomats and
patriots from the five turbulent little
republics on the neck OF land between
Yucatan and South America, is one
of the latest acquisitions of the CAPT
tai of the United States. While it has
been meeting regularly ever since
Secretary Knox sent his famous let
ter to President Zelaya of Nicaragua,
telling him to be good, it has man
aged to shroud itself in mystery. The
junta is working steadily on plans
that have to do with the future of the
little states washed by the Caribbean
sea.
1t is unofficial, but voceferous. It's
sessions are held in the cafe OF lead
ing hotel much frequented by South
and Central American diplomats and
the policies of the Central American
states are threshed out. daily and
nightly.
The junta Is the clearing house for
all information that leaks unofficially
from revolution-torn Nicaragua and
the diplomats have framed up half
dozen new alignments of the five re-
publics, each with view to the
equitable distribution Of the balance
of power.

Has Refused to Take Notice Of Secre.
tary Knocks Note and VIII En-
deavor to Have Ultimatum
Set Aside.

Washington.-Pre Zelaya has
not only refused to take official cog
nizance of Secretary Knoxs note
which was practically an ultimatum
but he Is declared to have dispatched
special agents to Washington to en-
deavor to have the ultimatum SET
aside, first by appeals to the state de
partment, and secondly, by direct ap
peals to members of congress.
The state department is fully aware
of the presence and identity of these
emissaries. While they are being
watched in a general way, the United
States is maintaining over them moth
ing that could be construed as es
pionage.
In addition to this, 1t was reported
on Friday, that any attempt that
Zelaya might make to escape from
Nicaragua would receive the direct
and vigorous attention Of American
warships now there, Secretary Knox's
note intimated that the state depart
ment looks upon Zelaya as the man
responsible for the torture and death
of GrOce and Cannon.

flying for the first time in an aero
plane of his own invention at the
new aerodrome near the mouth of the
Var. Although Fernandez took his
machine to Rheims in aviation week,
difficulties In starting always pre-.
vented an actual fight. The accident
appears to have been due mainly to
the inexperience and recklessness of
the aviator. who, impatient at the de-
lay and not needing expostulations of
his mechanician. patched up defec-
tive part of the machine by binding
1t with common Irvine.
