WAR IN MOROCCO.
END IN SIGHT. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT LONDON, Nov. 19. The Spanish Embassy in London has received the following" message from Madrid: By means of a clever and fortunate operation, accompanied tr only three casualties, the garrison of -Xaven, numbering 10,000, has fallen back on Darracabba. This is the first 'stage of an important total evacuation •towards Tetuan, and constitutes definite progress in the realisation of the Directory’s plans, which hitherto no Government has been able to face. It represents the suppression of 180 posts, resulting in future economy in men and money.”
The Daily Chronicle comments that the despatch indicates the actual or imminent conclusion of the Spanish war in Morocco. When the Spanish forces cease to fight in the hills where the Riff tribes live, there will be an end of the Spanish zone.
