MOORS LOSE A THOUSAND
MEN IN FIERCE BATTLE
Fighting Said to Be General Along
the Coast-Spansh Loss
So Far Is $50

LISBON. Aug. 26.-Special dispatches
received here from Melilla say the
fighting is general on the Moroccan
coast. The new Spanish artillery has
wrought terrible havoc among the
Moors, who have lost 1000 men in the
last three days. The Spanish casualties
amounted to $50.
A Spanish column has destroyed
three villages near Restiga. A Moorish
deserter who has come in to the Span
ish lines declares that Spanish prison
ers, after being horribly tortured and
mutilated, are decapitated and their
bodies flung into hole on Mount Gu
ruga.
Estimates place the number OF Span
ish prisoners at 1000. The water being
doled out to the Spanish troops is in
sufficient, and, driven by their over
whelming thirst, they have drunk from
stagnant pools. Many cases of poison
ing have resulted. Already fifty-three
men have died from this cause.

PAN-AMERICAN ROAD
BOUGHT BY AMERICAN
Ambassador to Mexico Is Said to Have
Acquired Railway Which VIII
Join Two Western
Continents

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-Interest in
the proposed great international rail-
road connecting North and South
America was revived today by the re-
ported purchase of the Pan-American
railroad by David e. Thompson,
American ambassador to Mexico, who
Is understood to have associated with
him a coterie of st. Louis millionalres.
The negotiations have been conduct
ed with great secrecy, as it cannot be
ascertained that any information on
the subject has come from any of the
American diplomatic or consular off,
GERS in Mexico.
The statement that extensive i'm
provements to and extensions of tho
existing roads are to be made Is re-
ceived with hearty satisfaction in
Washington, where much attention has
been paid through official channels and
otherwise to the possibilities which
will follow a railroad connecting the
two continents.
In the absence Of special information
on the subject the officials here are not
inclined to believe that Mr.. Thomp-
sons acquisition of the Pan-American
railroad is an accomplished fact.

RAILROAD HEAD DECLARES
REBATE SYSTEM CONTINUES
A. 3. Stlckney Points Out Ways in
Which Corporations EVade
the Federal Law

NEW YORK, Aug. ga. B. Stick
ney, long president of the Chicago
Great Western, whose charge that the
railroads still are granting rebates is
about to be investigated by the inter
state commerce commission, outlined
Yesterday what he regards as the prop
er method to pursue to do away with
the alleged abuses.
The favorite way of granting rebates
now, he said, is to allow claims for
overcharges, for damages presented by
large shippers, which promptly are paid
by railroads to favored shippers.
Discrimination in rates also is prac-
ticed, he asserted, by putting obscure
rates in the rate schedules. The atten-
ton of favored shippers, he said, was
called to these rates. AS a remedy for
rebate evils he suggested as the hrst
essential the simplification of rates, and
as means to this end the adoption of a
uniform classification.

BETHENY AVIATION FIELD,
Rheims, Aug. 26.-As Bleriot was re-
turning late this afternoon from a
practice flight he attempted, in spirit
of bravado, to land in front of the
tribunes, but miscalculated his speed
and smashed through fence.
THE spectators fled, but few of
them were knocked over. No one was
seriously injured.
Blerot and De la Grange, who was a
passenger, were taken out of the
wreckage of the machine. De la
Grange was not hurt, and Bleriot sus-
tained only a few scratches.
The crowd yelled in protest against
such reclSlessness. Bleriot shouted back
that he was obliged to choose between
alighting in the midst of a squadron
of cavalry or running against the fence
and that he had selected the latter al
tentative.

shot Captain Raymond, and that the

The witness today admitted his opln-
