hands of the Moors late in July. The
entire region was overrun by fanatic
tribesmen ready to fight to the last

The strength Of the Spanish forces
with their native auxiliaries engaged
in this formidable task before the

of criticism even among the soldiers

the Moors and the correspondent of
The Associated Press heard on many
occasions cutting remarks as to the
peril Of leaving small garrisons to de
fend newly acquired positions. It was
pointed out that the tribesmen were
able to assemble in considerable force
at any given point with remarkable
rapiditv and a lonely garrison was
! liable to be cut off and overwhem

another point.
Such, however, was the situation
