THE MOORS IN REVOLT.
TERRIBLE FEROCITY.
SPANIARDS IN SORE PLIGHT.
NARROWLY AVERT EXPULSION By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright. (Received 5.5 p.m.) A. and N.Z. LONDON. Nov. 17. A special correspondent of tho Daily Nows, who went by aeroplane to Morocco, writes that the Spaniards narrowly escaped headlong expulsion when the Moors suddenly revolted. They survived only by acts of desperate heroism. Troops aro now pouring into tho country, undertaking a systematic reconquest as a matter of national pride. Th'e struggle will inevitably cost millions in treasure and thousands of lives, but tho average Spaniard considers the job worth while. The Moorish army is outnumbered by 10 to 1, but tho Spanish casualties are much heavier than those of the Moors, who do not tako prisoners and aro not showing or expecting mercy. Whenever tho Spaniards retake a village or town they invariably find tho garrison and inhabitants massacred, mutilated, and unburied. Tho war is one of terrible ferocity.
