Sickness in Spanish Camps
About Melilla Because
of Bad Water.
Liibon, Auo. 27.—General Marina’*
Spanish army haa again suffered de
feat In Morocco. The Moor* hare
checked the advance at Reatlnga and
while they art torturing their Spanish
prisoner* the Biff* are gathering In re
inforcement* to attack the entire Span
ish column. . . ...
Olapatche* today state that only <00
Spanish have fallen In the past 48
hours’ fighting, but these dispatches
were censored and the total number of
dead Is believed to have reached nearly
twice that number.
The Moors have taken 1.100, Spanish
prisoners and 1,000 of the tribesmen
have fallen.
The most atrocious slaughter of mod
ern times, attended by barbarous cruel
ties practiced upon Spanish prisoners,
Is described In dispatches received here
from Mellila and other Moorish cities
along the fighting lines.
Heartrending Scenes.
The Spanish In the garrison of Melll
la are compelled to witness the most
heartrending scenes every day. Prom
the garrison they can see hatches of
prisoners led out on a small plateau on
the side of Mount Gurguru, where
sickening tortures are put upon them
until death relieves them of their suf
fering.
One hundred Spaniards were cruci
fied In plain view of the garrison, which
was too far away for their artillery to
reach the natives. The corpses are
thrown Into a trench filled with the
decaying bodies of Spanish soldiers.
The soldiers In the Mellila barracks
pleaded’ with their officers upon their
knees to be allowed to advance upon
the Moors and avenge their comrades.
Hands Chopped Off.
The main body of troops Is still cen
tered about Mellila. A detachment of
Spanish troops are encamned In the
armed village of El Arbar, where there
Is fresh water. This village for a time
will be the basis of the vanguard's
operations on account of the water sup
ply and the operations of the enemy.
Tales of cruelties practiced upon the
Spanish soldiers are borne from camp
fire to campfire. The Moors, after lead
ing a detachment of bound soldiers out
upon the heights of Mount Gurugu, lop
off their hsnds while the fanatics dance
and alng around the bodies. Then, with
their long knives, they slash their bodies
and fill the wounds with salt.
Eyes Are Gouged Out.
With their angers they gouge out
the eyes of the prisoners and pull their
tongues out by the roots. Even after
the dying prisoner has Inst all con
sciousness of pain the barbarians con
tinue their cruelties until life Is extinct
Many of the inhuman practices are
too revolting for mention.
The ‘ ring line now extends along the
entire Moroccan coast. The advance of
the Spanish troops Is marked by a trail
of ashes. Three villages near Reatlnga
were burned by a Spanish troop and
the torch Is applied Indiscriminately
along the line of march.
Sickness has broken out In the Span
ish camps In the vicinity of Mellila on
account of the men drinking Impure
water. The officers were able to buy
mineral waters, but the soldiers had to
get their supply from stagnant pools,
which were literally alive with vermin
The Moors made a sortie against
Alhucemas last night, but were driven
back by artillery, are.
Refugees Flee From Spain.
Madrid, Aug. 27.—With the French
frontier towns swarming with Spanish
refugee*, anarchists and Socialists, end
with court-martial In continuous ses
sion dealing heavy sentences of Im
prisonment while scores of new ar
rests owe being made dally In Barcelona,
the feeling has reached such a pitch In
Catalonia that the civil guard Is being
increased.

Commoner
Cleveland’s
Declares
Issues
Will BringVictory.
Lincoln, Aug. 27.—Mr. Bryan declares
In today’s Commoner that the next
tight of Democracy must be along the
lines of Cleveland victory. He says In
part:
“The time Is passed for sham battles
on the tariff question. The only vic
tory wc have won on the tariff In re
cent years was the victory of 1892,
when we attacked the principle of pro
tection. No real fight can be mode
unlit a distinct line Is drawn between
the opposing forcss.
“The progressive Republicans cannot
make a successful fight against the Al
drich element because both factions In
the Republican party claim to be pro
tectionists. It Is only a question of de
gree with no way of denning the Issue.
No with those Democrats who shy. at
tariff for revenue only, they enn not
state their position without borrowing
Republican phraseology.* Whenever a
Democrat begins to defend protection
he throws away his arms and joins the
ranks of non-combatants.
Taxation should be for revenue only.
Taxation of the many for the beneltt of
the few Is robbery under the form of
law, whether It Is Invoked to aid the
manufacturers of the East or the pro-
ducers of raw materials In the West
and South.
Tariff reform bv the friends of pro
tection has turned out to be a fraud.
Tariff reform by protectionist Demo
crats would be just as disappointing.
Tariff reform bv the friends of the
tariff Is Impossible. Tariff reform by
the enemies of high tariff Is not only
reasonable, but necessary.**

PUBLIC LAND
Taft Takes Hand and
Big Changes May
Be Made.
Washington, Aug. 27.—Acting Sec
retajy of tho Interior Pierre Is still
working uh the report concerning the
charges relating to the Cunningham
coal lands deals In Alaska, made to
President Taft by Glavls, the land of
fice official- The report. It was stat
ed, at the Interior department today,
will probably be ready to send to the
president tomorrow.
At the same time a public statement
will be Issued replying to the various
chnrges that have been made against
the department. It Is understood that
It will be a caustic document. The
Glavls charges will, It Is expected, bo
made public In their entirety at the
same time.
Pending publication of the Gtavls
report, and the department's reply, both
sides are waiting developments. It Is
expected that the fight will break nut
with renewed violence ns soon as the
retmrts are made public.
Conflicting statements are In circu
lation here. On the one hand, it Is
said, president Taft Is not Impressed
with tho Glavls charges, but Is Inclin
ed to uphold Secretary Ballinger, and
will go a long way before he would
discredit one of his cabinet offlcerc.
while on the other hand, It Is assert
ed high officials of the Interior de-
liqrtmem will have to get out a* tho
result of Glavls' report.
Three results are possible. The whole
matter may blow over: the row may
develop - Into a situation which will
result In the retirement of Chief For
ester Plnchot, or Secretary Ballinger,
or both. President Taft Is understood
to be anxious for harmony In his official
family above all else, so that If the
controversy now raging between the
fcreHf sot-vice and the secretary of the
Interior gives signs of continuing both
officials may be requested to resign a*
the simplest and quickest way to set
tle the feud.

Washington, Aug. 27.—Headquarters
for the petition work of the National
American Woman’s Suffrage associa
tion of the United States, recently lo
cated here, Is busy preparing and cir
culating blank petitions that are being
sent out by thousands Into every cor
ner of the country to receive signa
tures, asking congress to submit to the
legislatures of the states an amend
ment to the constitution .which shall
enable women to vote.
Mrs. J. M. Bradley, who Is In charge
of the work, said today that enough
blank petitions have been circulated
throughout the United States to give
practically all persons In the centers
of population who believe In suffrage
for women an opportunity to so ex
press themselves to the next congress.
As'fust as the petitions are signed they
are sent to the headquarters here.
When 1,000,000 names are secured,
which will mean that 1,000.000 In the
country have expressed themselves as
In favor of granting women right to
vote, the thousands of smaller blanks
bearing the names will be combined
Into one gigantic roll, big enough per
haps to All a good-sized dray, or If one
roll Is too large, then Into four great
rolls, which will be presented to the
house soon after the next congress as
sembles In December.
Huge Petition For Congress.
"Interesting ceremonies will occur
when the committee of suffragette
leaders will have the- great petition
brought In and formally presented to
the house thru Speaker Cannon," said
Mrs. Bradley.
"Will you make demonstrations like
Chrlstobel Pankhurst and the English
suffragettes have been doing to get
their cause before the house of com
mons 7" was asked of Mr*. - -Bradley by
an American News Service representa
tive.
“Of- course, we shall make no disor
derly scenes," replied the quiet little
leader, with a smile, “but congress will
know that we are present: you may be
sure of that.
"One would be surprised at the ex
tent of the sympathy that the move
ment to allow women to vote Is meet
ing with all thru the country.” contin
ued Mrs. Bradley. "Ws have Just re
ceived a letter from a tjutn In Florida
who says that If the question wero
submitted to the voters*of that state
now a great majority would vote to
give women the right of franchise."
Hold Open Air Meetings.
Not only by petitions arc the-suf
fragettes agitating their cause through
out the states. Open air meetings In
parks and on the street corners are be
ing held In various towns nnd cities In
Massachusetts, Ohio, Washington and
other states.
A vast amount of leaflets, booklets
and other printed matter, setting forth
the suffragettes' cause, are being dis

Catt, president of the International
Woman Suffrage alliance; Dorothy
Dlx, Mrs. Maude Nathan, Alice Stone
Blackwell, E’lorence Kelly, Miss Carey
Thomns, president of Bryn Mnwr col
lege: Mrs. Sarah Platt Decker and
others. Excerpt* from the writings of
Professor Francis S. Potter, of the
University of Minnesota; Charles Ed
ward Russell and others who favor the
ballot for women are also being sent
out In great quantities.
Senator Clay Favors Suffrage.
This agitation Is having Its effect, for
letters pledging support to the plun to
amend the constitution so as to allow
women to vote are pouring Into the
headquarters of the petition movement
here. Union labor has promised to aid
the movement, nnd already the Federa
tion of Labor in nineteen state* has
gone on record as favoring woman suf
frage. The American Federation of
Labor has u plank In Its platform de
daring for woman, suffrage.
The movement Is not without support
In congress, too. for Senator Clay, of
Georgia, chairman of the senate com
mittee on woman suffrage. Is said to
