WAR IN MOROCCO.
Received September 21, 10.15 p.m. MADRID, September 21. Sufficient ammunition and stores having been accumulated to render the Spanish army independent of sea communication an advance on Mellila was commenced by 40,000 troops, who cheered the announcement to start wildly. Two columns occupied Cape de Huerte, warships supporting their operations. The Spanish had one killed, and 28 wounded. The Maghzen is asking the Powers to intervene and safeguard Moorish territory, alleging that Spain's action is a violation of the Algeciras Treaty, and the whole trouble is due to Spain crossing the frontier exploiting the mines and working the railways. _^
