in Morocco. s

IN Morocco. f.s
Madrid, July 29.-Oficial dispatches
received here admit that the battle

the Spanish forces outside of Melilla

with the Spanish outposts and the
main force of the Spaniards was driv-
en- back under the walls of the city.
where fighting continued desperately.
The Spanish killed and wounded num-
bered almost 1900, which takes no &C.
count of the men at the advance posts

wounded men.
The extent of the disaster is plain.

dispatch as given out at the war Of

ION July 81 the Moors cut the rail
road, severing communications with
our outposts. Our batteries shelled
the MoOrs, but the advance posts
were endangered and they had to be
abandoned. The situation at Melilla
is grave, despite the desperate BRAY

"Our losses in the engagement
were General Pintos, a colonel, two

ing drama.
One Of the dramatic situations in the
case occurred last June when, after
Morse had been in prison seven
months. the United States circuit court
Of appeals received a communication
from l. score of substantial citizens OF
New York city offering to furnish any
bail for Morse that might be asked,
and the court almost Immediately re-
sponded by admitting the prisoner to
bail in the sum of $125.OOO, the substan-
tial citizens furnishing amounts rang
ing from $1,000 to $4,000. The offer
was made in the morning, and the pris-
oner walked out Of the federal build
ing before the sun went down.
The summer was on its way, and
thousands were preparing to leave the
city on their annual vacations. Morse,
accompanied by his faithful wife, who
had disposed of all her personal prop
erty to aid her husband during an in
vestigation Of his affairs. departed with
the throng and went down to his ma
tive state, Maine, as some supposed.
TO rest But when he came back II
was discovered that he had been busy
all the time he was away. Wall street
opened its eyes one morning after his
return TO see that Morse had been plan
ming to rehabilitate his shattered for
tunes. He had obtained control Of the
Consolidated Steamship company and
had been elected its president. He had
got back into the Metropolitan Steam
ship line. a subsidiary Of the Consoli-
dated, the company which operates the
steamships Harvard and Yale between
New York city and Boston, both of
which steamers Morse had had built at
the shipyards of his native city, Bath,
Maine.
The money center OF the United
States is accustomed TO dramatic situ-
atoms. 1t is a part Of the stock in
trade Of that fluctuating atmosphere.
But when it learned that Morse was
snoring up his wreck while a sentence
was still hanging over his head 1t was
regarded as something Of a marvel.

street the announcement fell that

Morse's bail had expired after an ex-
tension Of two days, that he had sur
rendered TO the United States marshal,
that the court had announced that
the conviction and sentence of a year
ago would have TO stand and that
Morse was again an occupant Of his
former cell. This information was sup

nothing but favorable action by the
United States supreme court OF an ap-
pication for a writ Of certiorari could
save Morse from the federal prison in
Atlanta.
