MOORS KEEP UNDER COVER
Spanish Artillery Not Causing Much
Loss OF Life.

Melilla, Morocco, Aug. 14.-Friendly
natives bring in reports that although
the Spanish artillery fire Is destroying
the camps of the Moors II is not caus-
ing great loss of life, as the Riffs have
built a series of subterranean cham
bers and passages under their loca-

emerging only when the cannonading
Is over.
The Moors made an attempt TO cut
the Spanish railroad. Searchlights,
however, revealed their purpose and
they were driven back.
There is as yet no evidence here OF
the beginning Of General Marinas
march into the interior. The Spanish
artillery continues to lombard Mount
Guruga, the headquarters of the Moor
ish positions. Several modern guns
Of French construction have arrived
here, but the Spanish artillerymen are
having considerable difficulty In learn
ing how to manipulate them.

The Heraldo says a ministerial
crisis is possible because of strained
relations between the minister of the
interior and the minister of war, who
during the recent disorders at BARGE
Iona, issued instructions diametrically
opposite.
Premier Maura was questioned re
garding the possibility of ministerial
crisis. He declined to discuss the

that personally he wished to retire
from office, but that he had no hop'
of realizing his desire at this time.
