Tetuan, Morocco, May 31-Two Of
the. Moorish tribes who are fighting
the Spaniards seem determined 20
fight to the death for their indepen-
dence. They are the Bocoyas and the

The Bocoyas are the most numerous,
every man being a warrior and a fear

have been engaged in most Of the re-
belIions against Spanish rule n Morroc-

their refugees in the almost inaccessible

GENERAL AMNESTY HAS
BEEN GIVEN POL|T-
ICAL PRISONERS
(By Associated Press)

Lisbon, Portugal May 3O.-ADout
1,5OO royalist political prisoners have
been set free under the vote Of ger
eral amnesty for all such men passed
by Parliament on April 9. This vote
was taken at the time when all ror-
tugal was paying tribute to the mem
ory Of the unknown soldiers whose
bodies were brought here for inter
ment in the cathedral at Batalha
The grant Of amnesty was the re
suit of long and bitter struggle Tor
there has been persistent fight
against it by a minority Of Portuguese.
Latterly, however, the majority Of
public opinion all over the country
was in it's favor The fight in its
support was led in Parliament by the
veteran Republican Senator, DR.. Jac-
into Numes, who is now, perhaps, the
most popular person in Portugal.
When the vote was taken in Par
lament woman s voice in the gallery
raised a cheer for Dr. Numes who was
so overcome by his emotions that he
fell back in his chair weeping.
Despite the rejoicing over the am
nesty, there is much bitter commenr
because it prohibits political prisoners
from being reinstated in any post tney
occupied before their arrest, either in
the army or in public office. IT also
permits the banishment from the coun-
try for certain number of years of
all persons inimical to the republic.

NEW ADMINISTRATION tn
REORCAN|zE ARMY
(By -..ssoclared Press)

Havana, Cuba, May 3O-Reorgan-
lzation of the Cuban army is one of
the tasks facing the new administra-
tion of DR.. Alfredo Zayas. The Men,
ocal government which preceded that
OF DR.. Zayas took preliminary step
by abolishing the custom of promo
tion of officers by selection. The
presidential decree effecting this re-
form will become operative on july
l, but no selection will be made oe-
tween the present and that date.
The motive for army reorganrza-
tion is economy and was discussed a,
conferences between Major General
Enoch Crowder, special agent in Cuva
for President Harding and both Pres
ident NJ. G. Menocal and DR.. Zavas,
then President-elect.
While the army itself numbers oniy
about 1000, the high salaries paid
and the cost of supplies has run the
total cost Of this branch Of the nat
ional defense to more than $4,000 900,
q figure considered excessive. Some
sentiment has been shown for the
abolition of the army and the creation
OF force of rurales, but the generar
trend seems to be for a smaller force
than at present but of greater efficien-
cy, the result of the acquisition OF the
most modern forms Of automatic
rifles and machine guns.
