the maneuvers in Morocco against the
Moors. Both Nador and Zeluan have

was bloody fighting with large bodies OF
Moors.
The ring around Mount Guruga is now

submit without conditions.
The immediate successful termination
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 which the
campaign in Spain Is daily becoming more
