WAR IN MOROCCO.
FEROCITY OF THE MOORS. TERRIBLE MASSACRES. NO MERCY SHOWN. By Telegraph.—-Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Nov. 17, 8.30 pjn. London, Nov. 17. The Daily News’ special correspondent, who went to Morocco by aeroplane, writes that Spain narrowly escaped headlong expulsion when the Moors suddenly revolted. Spain survived by acts of desperate heroism by her troops, who are now pouring into the country and are undertaking a systematic reconquest as a matter of national pride. It will inevitably cost millions of treasure and thousands of lives, but the average Spaniard considers the job is Worth while. The Moorish army is outnumbered by ten to one, but the Spanish casualties are greatly heavier than those of the Moors, who do not take prisoners, not showing or expecting mercy. Wherever Spaniards retake a village or town they invariably find the garrison and inhabitants massacred, mutilated and unburied. The war is one of terrible ferocity.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
