Official dispatches from Melilla ad-
init that the battle with the Moorish
tribes1nen outside of Melilla on July
81 was disastrous to the Spanish
arms. After tie defeat the Moors cut
off communication with the Spanish
outposts and the main Spanish force
was driven back under the walls OF
the city where the fighting continued
hand to hand. The Spanish killed and
wounded numbered almost 5000, be-
sides the outposts who were evidently
cut off and abandoned. Melilla is full
of wounded.
General Marinas' report says that
on July 27th, the Moors seized the
railroad cutting off the advance posts.

through diplomatic channels intimates
that the garrison of Madrid has been
tampered with by the insurgent gar.
risons in Catalonia drawn for the
Moroccan war and only small detach

Ia. These have made little progress
in checking the revolt. They are
obliged to act almost entirely on the
defensive, attacking only when forced
by the menacing position of the revo-
lutio1ists.
The situation is complicated by a
general strike of the labor organizat-
