REVOLT FEARED
DANGER IN MOROCCO COMMUNICATIONS BROKEN DIREFUL EFFECT OF STORM By Cable.—Press Association. —Copyright Rec. 8 a.m. MADRID, Friday. A revolt in Spanish Morocco is feared as an aftermath of the Mediterranean storm, which swept, the Spanish North African coasts for 48 hours. At least 40 ships were sunk, and the damage is estimated at 20,000,000 dollars. It is believed to be the worst storm in the history of Northern Africa. The danger of revolt lies in the interruption of communication with the interior military posts, which are garrisoned by natives under Spanish officers. Knowledge that aid could be called without delay keeps the natives from turning upon the few officers, but at present no reinforcements could be summoned within several days. The Spanish Government has ordered all available airplanes to be used, and 10,000 troops are prepared to sail if necessary.—A. and N.Z.
