Moroccan loyssnment itself. hff Is,
GENTLY caused an outbreak In yha,
part of the country which is con.
trolled by Spain. The fanatical tri.
besmen have attacked the Spanish
settlements with fury that indicate.
that the Casabalanca incidents and
massacres OF two years ago are
likely to be repeated. While the
Spanish forces on the scene have so
far repulsed the attacks of the
Moors, the Wild tribesmen do not
appear to have been discouraged,
and continue to attack the Spanish
positions with vigor and reckless
bravery. Profiting by the evperi-
ence with the French, the Moors
are employing modern methods OF
attack and using in 4 great measure
modern weapons.
1t is evident that Spain has some
thing Of a campaign on her hands,
that not only will it be necessary to
send considerable force OF troops
tp Morocco, but a large expenditure
o. money will be necessary. So seri-
GUS does the Spanish Government
consider the trouble that it con-
templates sending Lieutenant Gen
eral Weyler, of Cuban notoriety, to
take supreme command. Notwith-
standing the many things said of
Weyler's administration In Cuba, it
is not denied by his severest critics
that he is soldier of ability and
determination. He was the author
Of the the terrible "reconcentrado"
system, which he employed with such
rigor in Cuba, and which we our

thsir disapproval. Since the war
with the United States the Spaniards
have settled down ID peacefuT deve-i
lopment, and theY are now bitterly
opposed to sending their troops out

pite this displeasure, however, the
Spanish government Is bound to re-
enforce its forces in Morocco, no
matter at what cost.
