MADRID, Sept. 27.-The war office
announced today 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 about Mount Guru-
ga is now considered almost closed and
the position of the Moors is desperate.
Kaid Amas appeared before General
Marina, the Spanish commander, yes
terday and asked for terms of surren-
der for the tribes entrenched 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 ternina-
tion of Spain's war against the Moors
which has been going. on since July
would be of inestimable advantage to
the government of Premier Maura,
against whom the campaign in Spain
the lower classes.
Capture Easy
The capture of Nador by the Span
ish forces yesterday was comparatively
easy, owing to the strategy employed
by General Orozco, who feinted in the
direction of Zetuan, to which point the
Moors rushed.
The Spanish commander then turned
his men and marched into Nador.
The defenses of Nador were razed
and the town was burned by the Span
iards.
From Nador the Spanish artillery
shelled Zetuan. The positions sur
rounding Nador are now occupied by
10000 Spanish soldiers.
The entire coast line at Alhucemas,
Morocco, is illuminated with the fires
of the burning Moorish villages.
After the Spanish batteries in the
fighting of yesterday had silenced the
native artillery the infantry advanced
and drove the Moors from their posi-
ton.

Nowhere" he said, "can sympathy
for your celebration be greater than in
Germany We admire the extraordina-
ry work accomplished in the United
States by the irresistible energy and
the creative impulse of the American
people, and we may be proud Of the
fact that to high degree the sons of

TAFT IS FATIGUED
BY HOSPITALITIES
TOO MANY DINNERS GIVEN TO
THE PRESIDENT
Nations Chief Executive Asks Conn
mttees to Nike All Banquets
as Simple and Brief
as Possible

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-The hospi-
tality of the west seems to be taxing
the endurance of President Taft, espe-
cially as to the formal dinners which
have been arranged in his honor.
Some time before the president
started on his tour his secretary, Mr..
Carpenter, wrote to each of the COM
mittees having the matter in charge,
asking them to make the dinners which
the president was to attend as simple
in character and as brief as possible:
Notwithstanding this injunction. the
cities so far visited by the president
seem to have Wed with each other IN
making the dinners as elaborate as pos
sible, and in some instances two' three
or four hours in length.
In view of the length OF the presi-
dents trip and the large number OF
dinners and receptions to which he has
been invited, the president feels, that
in Justice to himself the dinners should
be as simple and brief as the occasions
will permit and has instructed his sec
retary, Mr.. Carpenter, again to ask
the Various committees of arrange
ments to observe his original request.

DECIDES RAISIN
WINES TAXABLE
INTERNAL REVENUE DEPART +
MENT RENDERS DECISION
NEW TAX WILL GO INTO EFFECT
OCTOBER /
Severe Penalty for Violation of Law
Prohibiting Making of Wine
Mash Is Attached to
Provision
rBv Associated Press.I

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.--Raisin
wine is taxable, according to a decis-
ION TODAY by Commissioner of Internal
Revenue Cabell. The tax will take ef-
feet october 1 next. All internal reve-
nue agents were notified today by tele-
graph.
The agents have been advised that
what is known as circular 731, dated
November q, 1908, prohibiting recu-
fers from making so-called wine mash,
and the product thereof in compound
liquors. is approved, and that further
suspensions of the order are refused.
The fight has been on for the last five
years, and the question raised was
whether such a mash could be ferment-
ed on the premises of q rectiter and
the product of such fermentation used
tn connection with spirits, wines, liquor
or other articles in the preparation or
manufacture of compound liquors.
Penalty Is Heavy
The penalty involved is from $500 to
$4,000 fine, and from six months to two
years Imprisonment for each offense.
The mash covered in todays decision,
which involves interests in various
parts of the country is held to be made
and fermented by rectifiers manifestly
for no other purpose than to produce a
liquor free from tax, sufficiently high in
alcoholic strength to make unnecessary
the addition of paid spirits.
Many concerns. particularly in San
Francisco, New Orleans, ST. Louis and
Cincinnati, have fought against this
ruling, contending they were not sub
ject to government regulations.
