8? CABIiE—PE.ESS ASSOCIATION--COP YBIGHT Received Sept. 21, 12.55 p.m. PARIS, Sept. 20. Considerable geographical importance is attached to the capture of the Zawia of Ouledghazzaa, in the Moroccan campaign, as it affords a wide held for a view northward. The operation was carried out by three columns, which set out at eight in the morning and completed their aim at midnight. The rebels were strongly entrenched, but retreated and were pursued by cavalry. It is anticipated that the victory will lead to the early submission of a number of tribes who have awaited the arrival of the French troops for an opportunity to withdraw from the lighting.—Reuter.
