Was Bloody Battle.

Mellilla, Morocco, July 29.-The OF
ficial repart of yesterdays battle
shows that 1t was one of the most
sanguinary of the present campaign.
The engagement cost the Spaniards
more than two hundred In dead and
wounded, the slain including General
Pintos two lieutenant colonies COM
handing naval contingents. and a
large number of other officers.
At 8 o'clock in the morning word
was received that the Moors had de-
stroyed large portions of the railroad
which is isolated and imperiled the
extreme Spanish post. A convoy es-
corted by two strong columns was
sent out in command of General Pin
tos. 1t occupied the outlying spurs of
the Guruga mountains during the en-
tire day.
While the convoy was reprovision-
ing the stations, the Spaniards sus-
tanned a terrific fuslllade from thou
sands of Moors. who first fired from
the fastness Of the mountain and then
boldly charged in the face of a muir
derous assault by the Spanish artil-
lery. The Spanish officers describe
the Moorish loss as enormous. Rein
forcements were sent to the support
of the convoy and its escort and re-
pulsed the Moors and drove them
back to the hills.

Artillery the Only Hope.

Gibraltar, July 29.-News from
Mellilla says the besieged Spaniards
were compelled to retreat to their
forts under guns of the warships.
They abandoned all outposts and
there Is fear of surrender of annihila-
ton unless the warships are effective.
The news OF the death of General
Pinto encouraged the Moors, who
charged repeatedly. A Spanish gum
boat captured blockade runner,
loaded with modern rifles and ammu-
milton.
Reported Moors are using dunn
DUN bullets. barred by civilized coun-
tries. Spaniards are now nicking
steel bullets with the same effect.
Four rifle regiments embarked from
Algeciras for the Melilla coast. Gar
risons and artillery are leaving
Gibraltra on all ships for Mellila.
Artillery is the only Spanish saliva
ton and AMMUNITION is being rushed.
Semi-official messages say 1000
men killed and $500 wounded
among the Spaniards fighting at Me-
lila, when they were driven from
their outposts to the forts. Unless
achievements arrive this afternoon
their complete overthrow is expected.
