RISING OF MOROCCO.
INCREASING DANGER.
BATTLE IMMINENT AT CASABLANCA. (Received 8.38 a.m.) (By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright.) MOROCCO, August 18. There has been a general exodus from Casablanca, and only 5000 people remain in the town. Three thousand French troops are encamped a mile to the eastward. There are 500 Spanish troops at Casablanca, and 1500 more are expected.
The Moors are gathering in the vicinity, and apparently a fight is impending. The Europeans have evacuated Marakesh and Mogador, and gone on board the warship sent to their aid.
A Jehad, or holy war, is being preached in many places in the interior.
Spain and France have come to a complete agreement with regard to military action in Morocco, ending the trouble due to divided control.
