THE MOROCCAN CAMPAIGN
AN UNFORTUNATE MISTAKE, NATIVE COMPANY DECIMATED. Pres* Association—By Telegraph—Copy-rig it, MADRID, July 6. A communique from Morocco mentions that a company of native troops, while reconnoitring, encountered a trench full of khaki-clod men, whom they mistook for comrades; but they wore really the enemy, who opened a sustained fire. The company was almost decimated. Native troops of the Foreign Legion lost 400 men in recent fighting.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
