SPANISH LOSSES 5000
IN BATTLE WITH M00RS
Correspondent Tells of Captures
Made in Defeat of Gen.
Silvestre.

HAVANA, August 14.-Spanish losses
in the defeat by the Moorish tribes
men in Morocco of the column of Gen.
Silvestre are placed at 5000 in dis
patch from it's Madrid correspondence
published today by Ell Mundo. The
booty captured by tfese tribesmen.
the correspondent adds is valued at
more than 100000 pesetas. while
airdromes at Nador and Zaluan. with
machines and equipment. fell into the
hands of the natives. In addition to
the defeat administered to the COM
mands of Gen. SilveStre and Gen. Ma
varro, the correspondent says that the
Moors captured a column headed by
Col Araujo after fierce resistance.
High military officers are quoted to
the effect that Gen. Silvestre invited
di saster by leading column of 5000
men against Moorish forces of un-
known strength. when the use of a
single airDlane would have revealed
the size of the army gathered against
him.
Ten. Silvestre. it is declared. al
though wounded in the chest. fought
until the last. when he either was
killed or committed suicide.
Viscount DOEa, war minister in the
Spanish CABINET which has just re-
signed, is quoted as stating that the
Silvestre tragedy meant the de
struction Of the Melilla military dis
trict, of which only the ruins re-
main."
