All is quiet on the western front in Morocco. There is nothing to report from the centre and the east. A communique signed in Madrid states that the whole protectorate is quiet, except the Alhucemas sector, where the Spanish advanced.

The Spanish losses were 30 men. _ A message from Fez states that the Spaniards effected another landing in Alhucemas Bay. They disembarked troops at Frailes Point, the western extremity of Alhucemas Bay, and occupied a position three kilometres wide on the flank of the line already held by the Spanish troops in the Mono Nuevo Peninsula.
