Moors Concentrating For
Fresh Attack at MeliIla.

Madrid. The Captain General OF
Barcelona telegraphed to the gen
eral staff at Madrid that the revolu-
tipnists had SURRENDERED 4Iid thatxhe
was master ct the situation. The
victims in the street fighting were
many. Twenty-three buildings were
destroyed by the artillery. The lea
ders of the rebels were tried by
court-martial and executed.
Many interior points reported riot
and incendiarism. But the move.
ment was scattered without appar-
ent central organization or leaoer.
In the north there are fears that
Don Jaime, the new Carlist leader,
may take advantage Of the situa-
ton by renewing the Carlist move
ment against the dynasty.
The Moors have withdrawn from
the outskirts of Melilla. 1t is be-
lieved they are concentrating for a
new effort. They burned hundreds
of their dead whom they were un-
able to carry off.
After the tribesmen had retired
the sad work of burying the Spanish
dead, which already we're rotting in
the sun, was hurriedly accomplished
in the ravine where two columns of
Spanish troops we're ambushed
while trying to rescue convoy. The
ground was covered with heaps of
corpses, many of whom were mutila-
ted after death. The bodies had
been stripped of their arms. In or
der to prevent an epidemic the bod
les ware dumped into holes.
The greatest confusion reigns at
the army headquarters. The over
worked staff seems demoralized.
Exact figures of the dead and wound
ed since the heavy fighting broke
out with the Moors are refused.
The natives are preparing
to join their fighting breth-
rem on the heights before Meltl-
la. A holy war is being preached
from Ceuta to Moulmuga and the
whole country is aflame with fana-
ticism. The position of the Moors
on Mount Guruga, where 10000.
warriors are concentrated, is con-
sidered to be impregnable. -

Though thoroughly authentic
news is, in the very nature OF the
case. difficult to get, there seems to
be little doubt that the Spanish 81
tua=on has improved, in the sense
that the authorities have succeeded,
In putting down the Barcelona mob.
If this be so, the chief commercial
city of the Peninsula will cease to be
the center of the anarchist movement.
The measures used were to the las
degree ruthless, but experience shows
that a. mob must be dealt with In
this fashion. And experience like
wise shows that 1O mob can with
stand the onslaught of disciplined
armed with modern weapons.
"And now it appears that the
Moors are resolved to fight to a
inish. According to the latest re-
ports, the fanatical leaders of the
Moslems are preaching holy war.
One need not. know much of such
matters to perceive that the area of
is likely to include AL
yeria and Tunis and that it may
include Egypt at last. Spain is
much too weak to cope with diff
,ulties so subtle and farreachirg,
md France, in her turn, may have
o put forth her utmost strength in
he struggle. A great deal will de-
,end upon Germany's attitude, but
We can hardly believe that the Kai-
er will subordinate Europe's peace
o the requirements of diplomacy.
With North Africa afire, the inter-
SITS of no European state would, be
afe. And, if real crisis should
ONE England would have to strike
decisive below, or see her whole
Iahometan empire imperiled."
