MOROCCO
SPANISH REPULSE ATTACK. (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) MADRID, August 20. A message from Melilla states that Spanish troops repulsed with bombs an attack upon an advanced position at Tifaranin. The enemy actively continues along the whole front. QUESTION OF MORE TROOPS. LONDON, August 20. The Daily Telegraph’s Madrid correspondent says Cabinet is divided on the question of despatching further reinforcements to Morocco. It is claimed 140,000 troops are already there, sufficient to meet the case, and it would be dangerous to send more in view of the country’s antipathy towards the Moroccan adventure.
