After having lost the Spanish - American War in 1898 , Spain sought compensation for its lost prestige by expanding its influence in Northern Africa .

On 8 August 1908 , the Rifians attacked the mines , without causing any casualties , but Muley Mohamet was apprehended and sent to Fez , where he died in prison . Now without support in hostile territory , General José Marina y Vega , military commander of Melilla , asked Madrid for reinforcements to protect the mines , but none were sent . On 9 July 1909 , a new attack occurred and six Spanish railway workers were killed by tribesmen . Battles . As a result of these deaths , Prime Minister Antonio Maura Montaner increased the Spanish garrison at Melilla from 5 , 000 men to 22 , 000 in preparation for an offensive . All the Spanish forces involved were conscripts ; at this stage , Spain had neither professional troops , nor indigenous troops under arms . The Spanish army was poorly trained and equipped and lacked basic maps . The next day , the Spanish troops were shot at by francs - tireurs and skirmishes occurred near Melilla . General Marina decided to post six companies at Ait Aixa , under command of Colonel Álvarez Cabrera . They left Melilla at nightfall but got lost and , in the morning , found themselves in the Alfer Canyon , where they were decimated by gunfire from the heights . Colonel Cabrera and 26 men were killed , and 230 were wounded . On 26 June , the Spanish suffered a second defeat at the Lobo Canyon , when Marina sent another force under General Pintos to protect Segunda Caseta . In this ambush , the Rifians killed General Pintos and 153 men , and wounded some 600 others . Epilogue . After this disaster , the Spanish stopped all military operations . They raised troop - levels to 35 , 000 men and brought heavy artillery over from Spain . By the end of August the Spanish were ready and they launched a new attack . By January 1910 their overwhelming strength had enabled them to subdue most of the eastern tribes . The Spanish continued to expand their Melilla enclave to encompass the area from Cape Tres Forcas to the southern inlets of Mar Chica . However , this was achieved at the cost of 2 , 517 casualties .
